the before and the before, before.

This is me at my first consult for my surgery. I was at my highest weight ever.
This is me th morning of my surgery on June the 24th 2008. I am 76 pounds down and was ready to have my surgery. God granted me peace, I was not afraid.
This pictur is a bit gnarly. These are my new battle scars and I am proud of them. I have 5, 1" incisions and they seem to look a bit like a star! I am doing so well, I feel a lot better, after the surgery I felt like i had gotten hit by a truck, but each and everyday brings more healing, and more joy and an unexplainable, unimaginable happiness. : )

Ch-ch-ch changes. . . . .

This picture was taken 6 months ago in December 2007. My hair is shoulder length. Old CK glasses. : (

















April 2008 brought many changes. Was told that I could no longer wear contqacts due to "chronic dry eye", so new glasses were purchased (see below). Also, I had cut most of my hair off and was experimenting with my natural curl.

And this is my latest picture that I took on June the 2nd 2008. My hair is even shorter and I am into headbands and little clips. Note: I am REALLY happy to have tried an different frame in regards to glasses. : ) I am 68 pounds dwon since August 2007. My surgery is 8 days away! : )

And so it begins...wait it has begun!

I decided to start a blog, well more of a day to day or week to week sort of record keeping. Here we go. Hope you enjoy the ride!
