Talk about a great visual...OMG!!
Today, Mr. Scale and I met to weigh in and...I weigh exactly how much I lost pre-op (154 pounds). As I stood looking at myself in the mirror with that knowledge, I burst into tears realizing how much weight that actually was (It's one of me, OMG) that I dumped pre-surgery, but also how far I have come in my weight loss journey...293 pounds and counting!

I am a VSG to DS revison!
I frequently compare before pictures to me know. It was more of the realization today that OMG, I lost one of me currently ....before ever having surgery. In my head, I just did what I needed to do in order to make myself as successful post surgery.
