Hey guys,

Just wanted to share some pics, cuz we all love it when others share pics! . This is my first time sharing photos, aside from my avatar. I'm 9 months out of surgery as of yesterday, and initially, I was having my hubby take pictures every month. I kinda fell off over the summer, but finally remembered to have him snap a few this morning. I cried a little when I put the 'before' and 'after' side by side. I was self pay, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Rejoicing over here!! Woot!

p.s. not sure if I'm doing this right, so hopefully there are pictures here!

You look fabulous!

What an inspiration!

u look great!... congrats! i cant wait to join you. do you have a work out routine?

Great job, congrats!!!!

I am overwhelmed by the kudos and support that I've gotten on this post! Thank you so much! Sorry it has taken me so long to respond to questions about my workout routine--ironically, I've been laid up for a couple of days after I threw my back out trying something new--more on that later. Anyway, when I was first cleared for exercise I started walking like most others. Then I moved to Zumba on the Wii, which I loved, but I eventually got bored...I signed up for a 5K, so my focus moved to training for that, which consisted of jogging walking 2-3 miles every other day. The 5K was on 11/4 and I beat last year's time by 10 minutes I took a week "off" just because I felt like I'd earned it So now my plan is to do Turbo Fire from Beachbody. I have degenerative disc disease, so it may not have been the smartest decision, but I started the program this past Sunday even though my back was already hurting. I was fine during the workout, but as soon as I finished, I started having all kinds of back aches and spasms, so I've been pouting on the sidelines since then (finally went to the doctor yesterday). I want to get back to it tonight, as I'm feeling better (not at 100%, but I never am...). Thanks for all the encouragement--glad I've been able to inspire those of you who are recent post-ops or have upcoming surgery!

Woo hoo! You look fantastic! I am glad you are doing well! Hugs!

You look great! Thanks for posting your pics--they are definitely an inspiration. Like others, I can't wait until I have some to share too! Wishing you continued success!

You look great girl !

Hey there Kimmy! From the looks of your stats, this are going very well for you too!

BKMama, thanks, the idea for the peacock came from a henna tattoo that I saw somewhere and the tattoo artist tweaked it a bit to make it an original...I think a goal tattoo is a great idea! Will it be your first one?

Thanks for the inspiration!!!! You look fabulous. I am sure you feel good. my sleeve was 11/23. I don't see much difference at all but I feel I'm moving better . Strange ?

Please take care of yourself.
