My highest weight was 273. I am at 208 as of this morning. The day of surgery (June 12, 2012), I weighed 248.8. I am not the fastest loser, but I am happy so far.
Ok, I paused a video that I was in (and I was laughing thru the whole thing) so I could get probably the most awful picture of me beforehand. The other before pict was at a wedding last August.


This picture was about 3 weeks after surgery:

These picts are from when I went to Vegas last week. Unfortunately, I don't have any full body shots:

Not too long ago, someone else asked the same thing.. you might want to do a search because there were quite a few responds. I believe that there are many that do it without any bad affects.

I am finding that I am more sensitive to smells, and smells make me gaggy.
I used to have an Iron STOMACH, poop smeared on the walls - no problem, toes rotting off is no big deal, gunshot wounds? What's for dinner.
That is not the case anymore. food smells set me off, body...smells... UGH
Lately I have been eating a lot of eggs... well, ONE egg twice a day and that seems to be fine so I just go with that.

Just wanted to update y'all. I tried Garnier Fight Fall. It didn't work. My hair stylist said Hair loss from weight loss requires nutrients put back in at scalp. I started using this Clear Therapy Shampoo & conditioner from Walmart. Less than 2 weeks & less is coming out (WAY less!) and I see new growth. :-)
PS. I'm only 5 months out.

Read this and thought I would share.

Lol... little Jeffrey Dahmerish,but whatever works..

Also, this just happened, to be able to bend over without feeling like my head is going to explode from the pressure!

... hear my wii fit groan on screen when I step on and then calculate my bmi and yell " thats obese"!!

YES! And do you face them or show your posterior? Either way, you will end up stepping on toes and inadvertently crush yourself up against the row in front of yours trying not to become intimately involved with the poor strangers who sat between you and the exit. Oh yes! Goodbye to that dreaded squeeze!

To be able to feel like I've finally dried off everywhere after a shower - I swear I can dry like six times and I still feel like I've missed places
Not worrying that new people are meeting my fat before me
To feel more confident in getting out around people my age
Being able to button my lab coat at work
Not dreading having to squeeze out in front of people who are sitting between me and the end of the row at auditoriums/movie theaters/school classes

Can't wait to not panic when at a restaraunt they are about to seat us at a booth, and I'm wondering if I can fit!
Can't wait to not have to worry if my shirt is pulled down all the way in the back, so my big b---- is not showing:)

I am 5 months out and my tummy is still talkin' all crazy.

I try and limit carbs to 40-50 grams a day and I get those from my low fat dairy products, veggies & occasionally a little bit of a whole grain bread product.
today:
breakfast- egg scrambled with turkey sausage & 1 tbsp of potato (I usually use mushrooms but I was out)
lunch- small piece of meatloaf (3 oz) and 1/4 cup green Beans
afternoon- 2 oz cheese & 5 grapes
dinner- (work function that was an appetizer and wine tasting event) 1 baby crab cake (1 inch across), 1 piece of salmon (maybe an oz), 1 deviled egg, 1 piece grilled asparagus, 1 piece of grilled egg plant, 1 brownie bite (don't judge- I wanted the whole dang plate of them). No wine because I don't know my capacity yet.
evening- feeling a bit hungry so I topped off my Protein with 3 oz cooked chicken with some salsa over it. (left overs from yesterday)

Well, howyoudoin?! LOL (J/K) Keep up the great work, lookin' good!! :-)

ooh, you lookin good! :wub:

So what do u eat on a typical day?

I have mixed fat free Italian and a little Ranch. It tastes great!
