Ok, I haven't posted in a while. I went to a wedding yesterday and though I could take some cute ones instead of being in my workout clothes. I still cant believe the difference in my face. I had some family from Seattle and even here in Sacramento who didnt even recognize me! LOL

Ok, this one is SO ugly - but as it is... It was just before surgery:

These are the ones taken just yesterday:

Well since I have been asked for before pics many times this week I am going to post this in honor a bit early for my 2 year bandiversary, and being ALL DONE! I bought a small dress so there is nothing left! lol...

1st picture 2/14/08 240 pounds

2nd picture 10/2006 308 pounds

7/8/2008 232 pounds

I need to take a more current full length picture but i thought I would see if i could get these to post this time. I am very happy that i had my surgery a year ago. I am struggling at this time getting a right fill amount, but I know I will and it will all work again. I have went from a size 30 jeans ... down to a size 18/20. That feels AMAZING!!!!!!

Here is my before/during/*almost after*. I'd still like to lose another 5-10 lbs., but I'm already 5lbs below my original *impossible* goal.

I'm still losing 2-3lbs a month. I'm afraid of reaching the point where the lbs come my off face and boobs instead of my butt--that'll be the stopping point for me!

I'm wearing size SIX Levi's and a women's medium top. I haven't been this small since the mid 90's.

Still happy, still healthy (blood sugar is NORMAL), no more aches/pains/reflux. Still the best thing I've ever done.

Here I am, down 30lbs! Not too much of a change, but at least I have a neck now! LOL

Still working on the chin, but I'll get there... Just had my 1st fill yesterday... WooHoo...
