Hover your mouse pointer over the picture of the old me, and you will see an amazing difference! This is a picture of the new and improved me. This is what I look like now after only 15 months! I have lost a total of 146 pounds, and have reached my own personal goal weight of 150 pounds. My dress size has gone from a 26/28 to an 8/10! My body mass index (BMI) was 46.8 before surgery (which is considered morbidly obese). My BMI is now 23.5! (for my height, a BMI under 24.9 is considered normal weight!) |

| This was the day after surgery. I was feeling pretty rotten, and looked miserable, but inside, I was happy and excited that I made it through the surgery, and was beginning my new life! |
| Here I am doing the Post-Op 500. The surgeon really encourages walking soon after surgery to avoid complications. It hurt to walk, but I knew it was best for me, so I gave it my best effort. |

This picture is of me the day before I had weight loss surgery (4/20/05). I didn't realize it at the time, but I was so unhappy with who I had become. I guess I didn't realize how overweight I really was. I was so eager to begin my new life. The night before the surgery I felt like a little kid the night before Christmas. I was up all night. I couldn't sleep. I kept picturing what my life would be like as a thinner, healthier person. April 21, 2005 is a day I will always remember. Its like my second birthday! |
