Progress Pictures 1 1/2 years out!

Hi Guys!
It'll be a year and half since my surgery next month! I can't believe it has been that long! I still have days where I'm like "what the heck did I do?!" But for the most part I couldn't be more thrilled about my decision to have the surgery.
I started at 305 lbs and a size 26, I'm now 205 and a size 14 - I'm just shy of 6ft, so I only have 20-30 more pounds to go before I hit my "ideal" weight, but am completely happy at where I'm at! Life is just so much easier, I'm a better mom, wife, just person in general.

I have a hard time believe that is me in the pictures. I still see the old me, while everyone else sees the new me...It's not until I do side by side comparisons that I realize just how far I have come!
Can't wait to see where I'm at in 6 more months!!

The before picture was a few days before surgery, I had already lost about 15lbs from the pre-surgery diet. After was taken just yesterday!

So when you say "what the heck did I do" is that because you can't eat a full meal anymore?
