Don't mind my sour puss in the after photo. I was irritated over something and my mom wanted to snap a picture of me and the first picture is in Harry Potter world. So I was pretty happy there gahaha

Yesterday was 6month sleeviversary! First picture is the day of my surgery on 10/14/2015 and the second pic is 4/14/2016! I really do not know how much weight I have lost as I don't like to weigh myself; but I believe I have lost at least 70#.

I had my surgery almost three years now and it's been the best thing I've ever done I had no problems after my surgery and I've been running marathons and working out since.

I'm starting to feel like a pic ho......but for so damn long I feared cameras.
Here's a family pic taken 6 months ago followed by a pic taken this week. In case you can't tell who is who......I'm the one in the orange shirt....looking like The Great pumpkin or whatever.


Fun stuff getting rid of this weight. Long way to go, but I can see getting there now. For so long I just couldn't grasp how.....how to get it off and fight every single day to keep it off. Now....it's feeling natural and attainable.
So damn grateful.

I haven't been on here in FOREVER.
But figured I would update!

For me. weight loss, WLS, and cancer have this in common; there will always be people who can't get past the label they have attached to you. They will always be watching for some sign that you are dying or gaining weight!
I had cancer 14 years ago and I still run into people who can't wait to grill me about my cancer status. Really? 14 years later and you are still fixated on that? Isn't there anything else you might want to ask me about? It got to a point where I just did not want to be labeled as the "Cancer Girl" and avoided those people at social gatherings. I still try to answer a question or two gracefully and then change the subject to something else. If they really annoy me, I make sure that I change the subject to something that they would prefer not to rehash (over and over), like any perceived failure on their part!
I'm just 2 wweks out from surgery but I expect that I will probably experience similar ongoing questions regarding WLS. For some people it will be the first words out of their mouths when we meet. I don't feel obligated to tell them how much I weight, lost/gained, current weight, or any other personal question that they would be mortified if someone asked them. I'm curious how some of you have handled those questions?

Have you ever stopped and looked at your face? I see a resemblance to my mom I never saw before. And I look happier!
