My before pic is from last April at 306. Day of surgery I was 336... My highest ever. The after picture is 4 1/2 months later. On the scale in at a stall, but I've lost another 15". I'm thrilled with my success. Down to 249 and 55"+ lost!!

Sorry about that, here is the before picture at 439

I'm not sure if I qualify as a success story yet but I do believe I experienced a life changing event. It took me years to pull the trigger on surgery. I've gained weighed steadily over the last 10 years despite doing what doctors had advised me to do. A myriad of reasons and overall giving up led me to where I was. Oct 7th I weighed in at 248lbs. As a 5'2 woman I was a size 20 comfortably. I realize now how in denial I was over where I had got too. Do you have that one picture that made you cry? I do. I never took any pics until my husband and I celebrated 10 yrs of marriage in Puerto Rico. This before picture was what made me get surgery a month later. The now pic is from today after playing in the snow with my girls. I'm not even at goal and unbelievably happy. Just thought I'd post the pics bc they were my motivation from others.

I never had any complications! I only dump with greasy/fatty/processed foods. Other than that I've followed the diet for 20months and have lost 196 lbs

So I didn't have a "before" but I just went for my 6 month follow up & I remember the day this picture was taken at my weight & wellness center I felt good about myself, had in nice pants, a nice shirt & top & had fixed my hair. I also was one of the "smaller" people at the nutrition class that day so it was an interesting mix of backgrounds going in. Now I look at this picture of me & can't even recognize myself!

You know what I've noticed after looking at the before and afters? Is that most of the before's don't have smiles, but almost all of the after's have big smiles! That makes me happy :-) So proud of everyone!! I'm looking to get RNY over Band by next year due to complications...surprise, surprise...
