This is just the kind of thread I need today. When I start to get discouraged, I try to get out my before photos and not only look at the difference physically, but feel how different I am inside as well.

Thanks, Lisa for doing this!

I've lost another 10 since this photo but I don't have a new one scanned in yet. I'll work on getting a new one scanned in this weekend.

Not the best before or after.. I am down 75 lbs. Like you Michelle I had an unfill since Sept. I just went back 2 weeks ago but they started me out slow so I have NO restriction. Going for another fill on 2/9/05. I was banded on 8/12/03. Gained 8 lbs since being unfilled .

Thought I would put my first ever before and after on line. I have really received support from you all and I thought it would be nice to finally show myself.

Thank you all!!!!!!!!

It's been 17 months for me since I had my Gastric Surgery, if anyone out there would like to chat, please feel free to contact me, It's nice to talk to other people who are going through the same thing. Here are my two pics. One was taken 9/22/03 the day before my surgery, and the second was taken 1/18/05. As of today 2/5/05 I have lost 264 pounds, and still trying to do more.

OK ... here it goes. As you can see, I don't do below the waist shots. I'm actually surprised that I found some "before" photos since the camera and I haven't gotten along for many years now. (btw: That's Laserjock in the other 89 jersey. He has been my support rock throughout this whole journey) I'm still a work in progress but I love my band!!

12/17/07 - I wanted to update my after photo....I'm now down 130 pounds and feel wonderful!
