This is after several months of bulking-up for surgery! I was approved back in December of 2006, but due to life's circumstances, I had to put the procedure off until April 16, 2007. After this picture was taken, we left for Houston and my new weigh of life!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BURLZGiMezg/RmhdjQvOUoI/AAAAAAAAAAM/eDb1c4R8SnY/s1600-h/lynda+6-7-07+002.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5073407840602706562" style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BURLZGiMezg/RmhdjQvOUoI/AAAAAAAAAAM/eDb1c4R8SnY/s320/lynda+6-7-07+002.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is me after 5 week liquid, who wouldn't lose weight, and 10 days on semi-solid food. I have lost 35 pounds and now fit in the clothes I have been wearing all along. Think of it this way, now that I can't eat all I want, I fit comfortably in the fat clothes. Of course, like most women of fortunate proportions, my bra suffered some loss. I can wear a smaller cup and it hugs the waist better. ;) photo by Lori&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8646637471089123765-6918263605782319609?l=lyndaslittleworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lyndaslittleworld.blogspot.com/feeds/6918263605782319609/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8646637471089123765&amp;postID=6918263605782319609' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8646637471089123765/posts/default/6918263605782319609'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8646637471089123765/posts/default/6918263605782319609'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lyndaslittleworld.blogspot.com/2007/06/six-weeks-post-op-6707.html' title='The Surgery  April 2007'/><author><name>Lynda</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03593348564598645699</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_BURLZGiMezg/Rn3qCAvOUpI/AAAAAAAAAAU/3ec3zlj3L5U/s72-c/pre-op.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
