Here is a before and after shot of me, most recently. This is scary posting this for the world to see, but I think I am ready for it.
The Current and Sassy Me
My Story
November 22, 2005, I had a gastric bypass surgery called the Mini Gastric Bypass. I weighed 292 pounds. (My highest weight was 311 pounds.) I had struggled with the idea of surgery until I read the facts: that the percentage of people who had over 100 pounds to lose that lost it, and kept it off was nil. I was slowly dying.
I lost 147 pounds and my life has changed in so many ways. I am the person I was meant to be. Recently, I started to forget where I came from and lost track and gained some weight back. But like the Phoenix, I rise from the ashes and renew myself. The Warrior returns. Join me as I battle this war, and win.
If I can do this, so can you!

First of all...you don't look 43! You look awesome girl! Thanks for commenting on my blog! I love your too. I am curious...what is a "mini" gastric bypass? I have never heard of that one before.What's the difference between that and a regular gastric bypass surgery? You look great and I hope I'm down 82 lbs in 6 months!
You are ADORABLE! and Inspiring! Keep up the great work :)
OMG!!! You do not even look like the same person! Congratulations on your loss!
P.S. I found you through The Catapillar. :)
Carrie,
Thanks for the compliment! Check out my links for more info on Mini Gastric Bypass. Basically, it's only "mini" because it takes less than a half an hour to perform the surgery.
Cat,
Thanks for the kind words. I always wanted to be 'inspriring' to someone! :)
