Wow!  I can't believe its been 3 months since my surgery.  My only regret?  That I didn't do it sooner!!  I feel FANTASTIC!  I have lost 46 pounds and over 30 inches!  I can not express how happy I feel and clothes shopping is SO much fun.  I was in a size 24 when I started this journey. Now I  can wear XXL shirts in NORMAL sizes....leaving plus sizes forever!!!

I am going to attempt to post some pictures.  They are also on my profile on this site.  Check them out.

The first picture is the day before my surgery. 

This is at 2 months

Today! 46 pounds lighter!

Well you look fantastic. I am using a door also as a visual aid in the process. I am 2 weeks this coming Monday. Looking forward to leaving the plus sizes behind as well. Keep up the good work.

You are beautiful before and after, but your face shines even more now! And might I say, I love that middle shirt!
