my turn to brag...

[emmasmommy]

I know most of you know that I had gastric bypass surgery back in December of 08. Well, today was my one year check up (albeit 2 months late). My blood pressure is below normal (a HUGE feat), my joint pain is gone, I don't have sleep apnea anymore, and well, I'm a totally different person. I am officially down 125 lbs. :blink: It's still so surreal to me. Anyway...here's the difference from then and now.

​

Thanks for letting me have my moment.
