Here are my 8 month post-op pics, along with a new pre-op picture of me I discovered tonight. I have to say that I feel like a whole new person... and, just for reference, I've probably lost almost as much as the bride in the picture weighs!!

Aww' date=' Sexy Lady. I didn't even address that; I'm sorry. Yes, the pain will get better! It's tough to do, but the best cure for that is to get up and move as much as you can. Walking really helped me work past the pain I had, not to mention it started the toning process. Everyone experiences pain differently, so yours may feel worse than others right now. Do you have pain meds? If so, use them if needed. There are no awards for not using the pain meds. If you need them, USE them.

In a couple of weeks you'll be feeling much better. In a couple of months, you'll be down 30 pounds and the joy of that will make this pain seem like nothing compared to the joy you're feeling. Good Luck!! :0[/quote']

Congratulations, Lissa! Thanks for posting--you gave me the inspiration that will make today an even better day!!!

Hey, if you really look at my during picture (cause I'm NOT done yet), you'll see that the arms and thighs are really starting to shape up. Yeah, I've got loose skin, but there's some major muscle in those two areas. I didn't post the booty picture, but it's looking pretty hawt too. At least in my opinion!

Lissa the pics are amazing! And i always look forward to ur posts! U share excellent information!

Thanks, Ssillian!

Fabulous!!
