Hi Angie, I started the weight loss process in November of 2012 at 453 lbs. Lost about 80 lbs preop and Had surgery on 6/4/2013 and my surgery weight was 371. Yesterday, I weighed in ay 227, so I'm down 226.8 lbs. Wow, I just realized I'm half the size I was when I started! I haven't taken pics in 3 months, but below is day of surgery, 3 months postop and 8 months postop. This is actually the first time I've posted pics here lol. If you have any questions or would like to chat, message me. I'm also on MyFitnessPal as CindyM0421 if you are using it and want to friend me.

When I started the process I was 453. Day of surgery 8 months later I was 371. Surgery was June 4th, as of last week I was 231 and still losing. Slower than before, but still losing. Determined to get to goal.

I drink from a straw all the time. Not forbidden by my doc

Final weigh in 247.8. Met my challenge goal!!

Mine started falling out at about the 3-4 month mark. I'm now 7 months out and it stopped about a month ago or so and the hair is coming back. I have all these little baby hairs when I put my hair in a ponytail lol

Ugh scale moving the wrong direction. So frustrating, I've eaten great and exercised more this week. Weight 271.8

I make a tortilla-less chicken enchilada casserole Ingredients: 1/3 cup skim milk 3 ounces chopped green chile (I used canned) 1/2 cup onions chopped 1 cup Sargento Reduced fat 4 cheese Mexican blend 1 can premium chunk chicken breast drained (I use costco or sam's club brand which are about 13 ounces) 1 can Campbells 98% fat free cream of chicken Soup Preheat oven to 350 degrees Combine the soup, green chile, onions, and milk in a large saucepan and heat to boiling. Remove from heat and add canned chicken breast and stir. In a small casserole dish, add one layer of the chicken mixture, top with 1/2 of the cheese, then another layer of the chicken mixture and top with the remaining cheese. Bake at 350 degree oven for 30 minutes or until bubbly. So easy!

My doctor skips the whole puréed phase. You go from two week full liquids to soft foods.

Down 104 lbs, from 371 - 267 since my surgery on June 4th, 2013. Total loss since starting the approval process in 11/2012 - 186 lbs.

How much did you lighten this world up in 2013? What makes you grateful for your WLS? Journey towards WLS started on October 30th, 2012 with my first visit to the nutritionist. At that time I weighed 453 pounds. Highest I'd ever been. Beginning of 2013, I weighed 419. At date of surgery on 6/4/2013 I was down to 371. Current weight this morning was 267. Total weight loss for 2013, 152 pounds! 104 since surgery . Total weight loss since starting this journey, 186! WLS has changed my life. I pay more attention to what my body needs and treat myself better. I also have become more active and feel more confident. I've also found some great friends, both online and in my WLS support group, who are fantastic people.

My surgeon allowed salads at 4 months.
