My new friend instagram!

So I have been hooked on instagram lately and have found some great WLS patients that are going through the same experiences as me. It is so nice to see such brave men and woman share their WLS journey through photo's.

There was one photo that stood out to me and actually brought tears to my eyes. Her name is Tina aka rocktheshade (That's her instagram handle). I just searched #wls and her photo popped up. It was a split screen of half of her body before surgery and the other half after losing 320lbs with the help of gastric bypass and a lot of hard work. It was truly inspirational. I was having an emotional day and this photo just showed me that it takes time and a lot of hard work to get to your goal weight. You don't just wake up after surgery skinny!! I highly recommend following her on instagram you will be amazed by her transformation and all of the things she went through to get to where she is today. Here is the link to rocktheshade's  instagram page http://instagram.com/rocktheshade .

I also found this really cool website thanks to some instagramers. It is called I lost what? http://ilostwhat.com/  You just type in your first name and the amount of weight you have lost and it compares that weight to everyday items such as tires, phonebooks, and even dimes. It definitely put's things into perspective.  Here is my ilostwhat picture:
