217 - 87 = 130 (or) Go me!

Hey congratulations, I like the pictures.

But you should be wearing spandex or something to show us how you look!! :slight_smile:

You don’t look like you have ever had an ounce of fat on you a day in your life! What’s more, you are at my goal weight! How tall are you? Small bones?

I love the photo morphing. I wish I had done that during my weight loss.

Has anyone ever told you that you have interesting bone structure in your face?

BTW, love the pants!

I don’t think that duodenal switch link goes where you think it does.

Huh? I just checked… it goes to the Duodenal Switch Information Zone site, which is all about the surgery I had… where does it go for you?

Zoe: I’m 5’2" …relatively small bones. Back when I was thin I had a 34-22-36 figure.

Geez, you look great, Opal. (But then, I’ve always been an admirer.)

blush thanks :slight_smile:

where’d you get that cool floating pillow in pic #2?

Lookin’ good! Congrats.

Heh. That’s the arm of my couch :slight_smile:

Good heavens woman - you’re a mere scrap of a thing! :slight_smile:

Congratualtions - you look super, and I bet you feel like a million bucks.

I don’t know you, but you have a lot to be proud of! Congratulations!

Also, I enjoyed the floating spots on your belly in the animated GIF.

I’m getting evaulated for bariatric surgery tomorrow.

You’ve given me hope. THANK YOU!

Congratulations on the weight loss. You look awsome. Ignore the folks who hate the pants. I love them.

mojave: Look into the DS. It’s far less common than the gastric bypass, but the post-op quality of life is far better. (No food restrictions, larger portions, no vomiting, etc)

You’re looking purdy. Slim Opal looks so different to Big Opal, except for the eyes and mouth - your bone structure was hiding away before. I love the smock, by the way.

smock?

better face pic <–look ma! Cheekbones!

(for those not keeping score at home, this is what I looked like before.)

Congratulations, Opal, on your success. You look fantastic!

Simply. Outstanding!

I have been wondering how you were doing since the surgery.

That body morphing picture is way cool.
