Irela's Photo Album Before & During
Hi everyone,
I finally have figured out how to post pictures and decided to make an album of me. 
The first 2 pictures were taken the day before surgery.
The next pictures were taken at 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 7 weeks post-op.
10/8/04 - I added week nine with me in size 16 jeans! Yahoo! 
I can totally see the change in my face. My eyes are finally getting bigger and my features are getting more defined. This is so awesome and would recommend it to anyone that is thinking about it.
12/5/04 - I've been looking through some old pictures. The one I'm posting today is of my daughter Shannon and I at a Mother/Daughter tea that was taken in May of this year.
The other picture is of her and I before going to her cheer competition on 11/13/04. I'm wearing a size 12 mini skirt that Bill bought me and my Bubba Gump shirt that I just got in South Carolina. By the way, they took 1st and 2nd place and we're headed for Vegas in February!
BOY DO I FEEL GREAT!!!!

You look fantastic!
Honestly, I had no idea who you were from your most recent pic (the avatar under your name), but now that I see your pre-pics, I realize who you are! I think I saw you at a support group or something... Congratulations! You look fantastic!
It is amazing how the weight loss takes years off of us, isn't it?! Keep up the great work!

What a wonderful transformation
I think pictures say more than a thousand words.. I know that I can only understand what people see when they see me when I look at a picture of myself.. I'm like "Dang I look good!" LOL
Anyways back to tooting your horn.. you look amazing.. thank you for sharing the stages of your weight loss photos.. they are both inspiring and beautiful.
