Re: [sch_gastric_bypass_support] I saw a picture of myself finally

Deb,
 
Thank you! Congrats to you! That is awsome. I have noticed more people are concerned with my appearance than my long term health. I have to admit it is really nice to have people say wow you have lost weight you look good, but that is not my #1 goal. I want to feel good in my own skin and be healthly.

Way to go Lisa!  Keep up the great work.  I completely understand how you feel.  I am now 6 months out of surgery and down 95 lbs.  I also have so much energy and can do so much now that I couldn't before.  I've sent family pictures (since they are out of state) and even they said they may not have recognized me on the street. 

For me though, the looks are just the icing on the cake.  I am healthy again and feel wonderful.  It's one of the best decisions I ever made.

Deb

Wow, I had to share with those who can only understand my excitement!  I just finished three days in the woods at cub scout camp. I love camping and it was even more fun this outing. I am down 50 pounds or so since surgery on May 28. I finally saw a picture of me today. I could not believe this is what I look like now! Of course it was a digital picture so I zoomed in and up and down, because I couldn't believe what I was seeing. One friend kept saying I don't look like the same person. I kept brushing it off as moral support, a good job from your friends whether they really mean the complement or not. I was able to keep up at camp, do the activities, I even put on a swimsuit and got in the pool. What a great feeling. Thanks for listening to me babble.
