What a difference a year can make - here I am at Christmas 2012 and after Christmas 2013! Thank you all for the support and for the ones who doubted when I said "I eat everything in moderation" - well - judge for yourself whether or not that taco bell taco hurt me at all LOL! I've been doing wonderful post surgery and consider my surgery a real success - ready to ring in the new year and loving my new life! 1/29 will be my official one year - Merry Christmas everyone and I encourage you all to take the journey - you won't regret it. Love to all-

Thank you all for your support - I wish each and every one of you who have not had the surgery a very successful one - don't be afraid, the best is yet to come. For those of you who have had your surgery, you did it! CONGRATS! The best is yet to come for you as well - we are all living proof that it works and there is a light at the end of the tunnel

You look fabulous, congratulations your are one beautiful woman wow.

Congrats you look great my one year will be on jan 28 one day before yours. I think I will post a one year photo then, keep up the good work

Congrats and Merry Christmas and a very Happy Healthy New Year...

All I could keep saying (out loud at my computer screen) is WOW...WOW...WOW:)

You look stunning. Great work.

Wow! You look amazing! I will be 1year post on January 31st!! I don't feel I am anywhere close to where you are. Great job.

Congrats! awesome job! I agree with you about "everything in moderation". I eat bad foods sometimes but the difference being SMALL amounts & not an entire bag of cookies or crackers. I've stayed away from ice cream & milkshakes. But if I want a slice of pumpkin pie, I have it now (instead of two slices).

Gorg!!!

Girl, I eat whatever I want too and still drop. If I want a taco I eat a taco! Lol. I have lost 108lbs and find it successful as well. I mean we eat as much as a 2 year old kid., I am not beating myself up over it too. Congratulations! You look Ahhhhhmmmazing!

All I can say is WOW! You look great!. This is certainly inspirational for me to see. At 11 months post op, you are doing an amazing job. And that dress is fabulous!
