Wow - you look great! I am 2 months out and down 43 pounds. I'm 2 pounds away from wonderland! I haven't been there in over 6 years:) This is not an easy road - it has been so hard up until now. I'm finally starting to feel back to normal - but a new normal where I can move and breathe easier.

I didn't want to tell people at first and I had a lot of people telling me I don't need the surgery. I finally realized that this is not their life and I don't care if they agree with my decision. I posted it on Facebook and I've since received a lot of support! When I tell people about the surgery, I make sure to tell them that it is hard. And I usually say that some people think it's the easy way out but if someone says that to me, I will punch them in the face. Then they think twice before saying that! HA!
