Before my band.

Another fabulous set of pictures! DeLarla, I've read some of your posts about your difficulties with your port and your doctor, and now I can really see why you would say it's worth it. You look great. And your black-and-white dog looks like he could be the uncle to my Sophie (b/w Lab mix). These pictures are inspiring me to stay away from Ben & Jerry (my favorite guys) during mushy week. Thanks!

Ben and Jerry are my lovers. Ohhhh, sexy! That's Voodoo with Chloe McSorley. She's my doll (friend's bb.) I accidentally posted the wrong pic, but they're so cute together that I left it in.

OMG Lisa, you look like two different people. The pictures are great. You look incredible. You should be very proud of yourself. You are going to look great on the Harley.

Thanks girlies! My sister is a computer-type person and she somehow combined one picture showing the before and after pictures side-by-side. I'm trying to figure out how to post that instead of having to scroll down. I'm just not very computery.

DeLarla,

You look absolutely fabulous! I agree with Bright, you have a great figure... lucky girl!

You are doing a fantastic job. Thanks for sharing your progress and photos.

Let me see if this works... my sister combined both pictures so you can see them side by side.

Hey, I'm just .75 inch shorter than you -- and if I looked the same as you at 262 lbs. I might not have had the surgery! The side-by-side pictures really help show the change. Wow!

Lisa..posting those pics side by side you can see such a huge difference. You look SO GREAT! I'm very happy for you. It has been a rough road for you and you have done an awesome job. Way to go!! You are beautiful

Zoe, I'm actually 5 feet 9 inches, but I don't like working in fractions. I'm a whole number kinda gal cuz my mind has too much complication already!

And I gotta tell you, Zoe, last night I was babysitting a little girl named Chloe. She's very bright and wanted me to read the postings, and when I read yours, she became very excited and said she had a friend named Zoey that rhymes with Chloe - cute stuff.

Thanks, Michelle. Next set of pics I'll be wearing your clothes. But I want the moderator to delete this whole post because I complicated stuff by starting a brand new post with the side-by-side shot. How do I delete this whole thing?

Fantastic job, Lisa!

Is that sunburned pool going to be all healed up for the party at your house? woo hoo...bandster pool party! Wait...have any of your seen what your newly flabby skin looks like in a pool? It takes on a life of it's own!!! Mine likes to try to swim in the other direction...and it's very floaty.

Megan

lol, ohboy. i can't wait for that.. lol

Yay, Megan!!! I was just about to post a "Where's Megan?" thread. :mad:

DeLarla, we don't want this thread deleted - go back and edit the original posts you used to start the thread and either delete the pics, or post different ones instead.

Donali, it's all so computery to me. My mind is busy seeking revenge on my husband to think of anything else.

The pool tiles have been set and plaster is scheduled for Monday. But the pool isn't heated, so it will be quite nippy when they refill. A heater will cost $1200, I'm selling my husband.

I saw a funny sticker last night, "He might look hot, but some other woman is sick of his shit." Something like that.

Hey Megan, nice to see you. I was really inspired by all the support after posting this, so last night I was pretty band friendly and had one Bloody Mary and a small dinner. I've already been on my xtra long walk and did my total gym today, and I'm drinking my Water like a good girl.

way to go lisa!! you'll get there. i'm like you. i struggle everyday, but it's working, in spite of me. lol.

:mad:

Chris asked me what I want for my birthday. I told him "no stress, please." I don't want any gifts - just vacume or pay a bill.

My house is insane, so I gave away 2 of my birds and kept 2. I gave away the enormous cage - that thing was like having a garbage truck in the middle of my house. I went and bought a tiny cage (too small for 2 cockatiels) but I keep the door open so they wander around the house with the cat and the dogs. Everyone is getting along for now. I think all the birds will be better in the long run cause now I can give Daisy Sunshine and Triscuit the attention they deserve. And Carlo and Eddie have gone to a very loving home.
