It's interesting I now have to work every day to get my calories in to not loose more weight......wow who would have thought i would have to do that one day huh?

Lydia,

Congrats! You look fabulous and you've really rocked your sleeve to get to a 22 BMI and 150 lb.s gone in a year! Thank you for sharing your story- you are an inspiration to me. I'm so glad to hear you are not having trouble maintaining your weight. It's one of my biggest fears that I will regain weight. It's so good to know that for some people, that's not an issue.

AWESOME!!!!

OMG, Luvinit! You look fantastic! Just the glow in your face is amazing to see!! Even better is the dress you are wearing in the second picture. One of the gals who attends my WLS Support group has a dress that is very similar to that one and has offered it to me when she's shrinks out of it! It's my mental "goal" to be able to wear that dress, which she says is a size 16! I am working hard to get there, still in about a 22/24, but its' amazing to see it on someone else...and in a smaller size! Woo Hoo!!!

You've done an incredible job and you look amazing!!!

Wow!! Congratulations, you look wonderful!

Do not feel bad for looking great. Your change was not a magic cure all, you had to eat the right food, excercise and undergo surgery. That is a lot of work and it paid off, you look great!
