This is an amazing change; you've made such tremendous progress!
Not only are you much slimmer than your "before" pictures, but you look younger, too -- isn't it weird how that works? I know that most people seem to drop 5-10 years when they drop the weight, and you're no exception.
Keep up the great work!

Okay, NOW I can say it without feeling like a heel: I can definitely see the changes in this picture, even just one week post-op! Congratulations!

Okay, NOW can I say that you look amazing?

I'll try! I've been such a lone wolf/monk type for so long, I haven't had TOO much to smile about. Hoping that will change in the near future -- summer is coming, I'm looking and feeling good, and Seattle is a lovely place to be in the summer, so... good times!

Why thank you! *blush*

I know, I need someone to make me laugh more! I always look like I'm about to murder someone in my pictures, and I have to tell people "no, really, I'm a nice, happy guy! Honest!"

You look amazing; your before and after pictures are night and day, and you look so much happier and healthier!
