HAAHAA...most days I'm just NOT picture worthy! Gym clothes,no makeup, hair in pony tail. I am COMMITTED to keeping this weight off...and it takes a lot of sweat to do it...thank God I work at home and don't have to get presentable every day! Maybe closer to my surgiversary...however I won't be taking a pic of my butt (you're braaaaaaave!)

Oh, Trina, you are so incredibly lovely! I had noticed your avvy change and that you had dropped down into the 180's. I'm so proud of you!! I know you had to fight for every single one of those lbs to go away!

And your daughter looks just like you...I'm going to make a leap and say that the genes are strong in your fam....that would make your G-daughter look like you too!

Bless your heart, Trina, I sure do love you, Grrl!

You look great Trina! Such an inspiration for those of us on here in the beginning (well, does 8 months count as beginning??). I really appreciate those of you with several years of success as a resource on TT.

THANK YOU :-)

Here's to many, many more years of WLS success.

Donna, what can I say? I love you too dear! You are always there when I need you. Thank you.

Trish, thank you for the support and compliment. Have you looked in the mirror lately? Wow girl, you are gorgeous! You are doing a fantastic job too and I don't think you will be having any problems at 3, 4, 5 years out. Hopefully, we will still be here supporting all the people that are new and confused.

Lynda, ya made me go back and look at that pic of my butt because you said I was brave. Ya know what? What the heck.....let it shine...it sure looks better than it did 3 years ago. I bet your butt is just as cute!

Oh Trina, you are SO beautiful but even more important is that you are happy! Your face is glowing, hun it really is!! I've traveled much of this journey with you and you and I both know there always has been a special connection between us. Seeing these pictures and your happiness honestly is causing me to tear up and I've even got goose bumps!!

I'm just so happy for you my dear wls sister!!!

Thank you Jen and Beth.

I may look 100% better, but I'll always be jealous of your skin, eyes, and skinny butt, Jen.

Beth, you have a spot in my heart that nobody else could ever occupy. You are precious to me and you know this. We have been here for each other through good and bad and I have a feeling it will always be that way honey. You are definitely a keeper! Thank you for all your words of encouragement and support you have given me over the years. They are golden.

Trina,
you look absolutely beautiful....your face is thinned out, in a lovely way... You have just changed so much. I remember how hard it was for you to drop under 200 and now you're in the 180's...it's so awesome.

I know eating hasn't been easy for you...I hope things have gotten better for you. You've been a positive force on this forum and I think such an asset here. Congratulations on three years!!!

Thank you Simone! Where have you been? We need your skinny butt back here. You are doing awesome too.

As far as food goes......solids have gotten some better. I do eat a little more meat now. I figured out how to cook things so I can handle them better. Sometimes things still do not work though. It's just hit and misss. I still have alot of bad pouch days. I tend to find something that works and I eat it almost every day for months and then it will start hurting, so I find something different. It's a boring way to eat, but hey....atleast it's going down and that makes me happy.
