Anne you looked marvelous in you last photo I can't wait to see you in your current photo. I cannot seem to get motivated to exercise either this has been a big problem for me. What did you eat? Are you eating normal now? I am about 10 lbs less then you were at 9 weeks out. I love your post but we don't hear from you too often. I will diffently keep up with you. You really do look good.

WHOO HOOO!!!!! :P Today is my rebirthday!! Thanks Kyla for that sweet post, I really really appreciated it!! <p> Here are my stats in case any of you were curious, especially those of you who are about to go to the other side shortly!! <p> Was:250Lbs Now:125Lbs Down:125Lbs In one year! Neck: 15.5" to 11.5" R Upper Arm: 17.25" to 11.5" L Upper Arm: 17" to 11.5" R Forearm: 11.25 to 8.5" L Forearm: 11.5" to 8.5" Bust: 48.5" to 35.25" Under Bust: 42" to 30" Waist: 49" to 28.5" Hips: 56.5" to 37.5"!!! R Upper Thigh: 31.5" to 20.5" L Upper Thigh: 33" to 20.5" R Lower Thigh: 21.25" to 14.25" L Lower Thigh: 21.75" to 14.25" R Calf: 17.5" to 13" L Calf: 17.25" to 12.75" and including the 4" I lost in my wrists and ankles....... my grand total of inches lost is.......136.5"!!!!!!!!!!!! (Can't you tell I am a tiny bit happy??) For any of you who are still unsure about going through with this surgery.. for me at least it was SO worth it. Even through the problems I have been having as of late.. and that was recently proven to be ALL STRESS! So I am on Welbutrin and I know you can't tell any difference for like up to a month.. but I can already tell a difference in only 4 days! Wholly Cow, I am so much more calmer.. it's like my brain was so thirsty and this was the cool drink of water it needed. <p> But throughout it all, this Surgery I had, (Lap Prox RNY), I am so much happier, HEALTHIER, and know that I am going to watch my kids grow up. I would do this ALL OVER AGAIN in a heartbeat! <p> My love to you all, bless all of you who have had this surgery and those of you who are going to have WLS. You ROCK!!! Love, Annie :)

" THANK YOU LORD FOR YET ANOTHER PRAYER ANSWERED!!! Anne, May God now watch over you completely and take away your stress. LET GO, and LET GOD!!! Many, Many Blessings to you. . . †
