Hey from Issaquah!

Had my one year checkup. Doctors before picture floored me when I seen it!

I'll second the motion

Nice!

Mine was on March 30 and I have absolutely no pain whatsoever. I haven't for several days actually. I feel a little bad because I never had any nausea or other significant problems.
About the only discomfort I have is when I try to drink too much. I'm also a little sore in the morning when I 1st wake up. Other than that, no real problems.

Down 70 lbs since Dec 4 2014

8 Months Post Op! I swear, I look at the first pic of me, which is not even from my highest weight, and I feel like I can't breath. I feel So Much Better. Even laying around feels better and moving is a breeze. I never imagined life could be this way.

I just did a comparison and am dedicated to keep getting better

I won't say that I'm at "after" yet, but I'm only one pound from my surgeon's goal. I'm 4.5 months post-op and down 96 lbs since I started this journey last July. Down 53 lbs since surgery in November.
 

The picture on the left was taken in 2011 and the one on the right was taken on 03/25/2015

Holy cow I dug out my current and past licenses. W o w! I'm not sure I resemble them anymore. Is it too braggy to have a new pic taken?  

Here is my most recent side x side. 4 years banded today !

I just hit 100 down this week so posting updated pics.
SO freaking happy with my results.
I love looking at everyone else's pics!
You all have helped inspire me to get where I am.
Hoping to lose a few more, but pretty darn happy where I am.
I've gone from size 22 to a 10/12.
Oh - I took these before pics just before starting the pre-op diet, but I was already a few pounds down from my highest a few months prior...

Surgery was May 19 of 2014. I'm down over 120 pounds and loving life! I followed the rules exactly for the first 5 months. Ate what I was told to eat, walked each day, ect. Now I'm a little more relaxed with the rules. I still go to the gym a few times a week and eat small portions and try to get a lot of Protein but I'll have a beer once in a while and I do eat carbs.
This has been a long hard journey but I can't even put into words how much surgery has changed my life for the better. I can't wait to see what's in store for my future.

Sleeved 6 jan 15 first two photos are most recent last two are before surgery

I had surgery on 8/20/2014. My start weight was 236, surgery weight was around 208, and current weight is 168. I've lost 68 pounds and feel great. But I still have about 38 more pounds to go till I get to my goal weight.

Celebrating 18 months post and 173lbs gone!! Hope all of you are doing well with Preop prep/jitters, postop recovery and veteran maintenance!
