I think I might have said, yep cheated on my 200 diets all of my life, didn't help me a bit. =)

Wow, you could almost fit another person in them with you, LOL!

Hi all - Just thought I would share my 9 month post op pics. I've lost 126 pounds so far with about 8 to go until goal. While the weight is still coming off, one of the most significant things I've started to do this month is begin to work through the emotional and compulsive eating issues that got me to nearly 300 pounds to begin with. It's been a really emotional month, but I am feeling really good about keeping the weight off long term because I am starting to deal with the core issues rather than the symptoms.
Anyway, here are my most recent pics.

My daughter recently stitched together a picture of a recent photo with one at my largest.
Before approximately 305#
Current 202#

I look at it this way, everyone has their vices. Mine just happens to be food (sugar/carbs mainly). I work with people that drink too much alcohol, smoke and some that are unfaithful to their spouses. If any of them would suddenly give up their vices, I wouldn't ask how they did, just be happy for them. I expect the same.

July 24th for me.
I keep flipping between being really excited to get this done and then I catch myself thinking "OMG, are you seriously going to do this". Date can't get here soon enough so I this can stop.

I once was a size 34/36 and now I'm a size 12 pant and large top.
I have reached goal but my surgeon would like me to get smaller so my BMI is in the normal range.
I'm going to try to get down further and see what happens.
I hope I can get to where they want me.

I Was sleeved Monday June 9th. I have to say I am one of the lucky ones so far. I had no nausea, no vomiting and minimal pain. That all may sound good but I am having trouble mentally and emotionally. It seems like everywhere you turn there's something that has to do with food. I'm trying to stay strong. This to shall pass. On a good note I am down 12 pounds from the morning of surgery. WOOT WOOT!!

iI went out to Chiles the other day for lunch and my boobs did not sit on the table. It was great.

I have them in my legs and they go away/get smaller when I lose weight. I noticed they were gone when I lost about 40 pounds a few years back. Of course they are back now.

Hey ya'll!! (First post ever) I just got my insurance approval for the sleeve surgery. Many mixed emotions! Surgery date is scheduled for July 9th. I look forward to chatting with you all and sharing experiences.

Well here it is. I'm so embarrassed by my before photo smh, but that was me. All 330 lbs of me. Yikes!! My highest was 346 lbs at the start of this journey, but I lost 16 lbs pre op and 134 lbs post op and still going.
330 lbs day of surgery 196 lbs

Yes, Are you ok? Is the question I was asked today. My coworker instead of saying how good I look I was asked was I sick, and am I ok. Yes im ok I lost 65lbs of unhealthy weight. Oh and the kicker is this question. "Why are you losing weight?". Um because im over weight genius. Its crazy that world looks down on obesity but when a ocer weight person starts to take care of the weight problem, it bothers the world. Fat guy its a salad then he is on a diet, skinny guy eats same salad and eveyone says how good the salad looks.
Thanks for letting me vent a little

Wow, you look great! Keep up the good work

Down 120. 13 to go until I reach my Tummy Tuck goal then 10 more after that! Hoping the skin removal will take a good chunk of that last 10 lbs off! Best thin I ever did for myself!!

You look great!

i cannot believe how HUGE my stomach has gotten over the past couple years.
i have avoided pictures for the longest time but i wanted something to document all of my loss and a final pic that my kids will hardly remember someday...
WOW. now i can understand why i have been asked when i'm due. i have PCOS and carry it all in my belly and i seriously look about 54 weeks pregnant. HUGE.
well, at least that part is over!

I was given the below time line by my NUT for the max amounts you should be eating. My surgery is not until July 24 so I can't comment how accurate it is.
3 months - 1/4 C.
6 months - 1/2 C.
9 months - 3/4 C.
1 year and beyond - never more than 1 Cup.

I'm 9 weeks post op and have lost 40 lbs but stalled for the last 3 weeks. However, today I got a NSV at my dr apt. She eliminated the last of my diabetes meds and my cholesterol med!!! I'm so happy!! Just have 2 BP meds to get off next or at least decreased.

1 year ago....
as of May 17 and that big girl with the pretty face is gone. I'm so grateful and proud of how far I've come. I still can't believe it's me in the pictures or when I pass a store window. I've lost 102 lbs and now working on the last 10. Festival season in New Orleans is hard on my good eating habits...but I'm getting back on track. Have a awesome weekend everybody and good luck!!!! Hang in there.

I hope your insurance issues are cleared up quickly! I'm located near Harrisburg, Pa and that is where I'm getting surgery. I'm so excited for all of us, can't wait to start living again

Congrats! I'm 2 days behind you, July 24 is my date. I'm already wishing I would have done this years ago.
