Here's a F2F before and after. I actually have eyes and cheekbones again. I didn't think there was that much of a difference, but I've ran into about 5 people in the last month who had no idea who I was lol

Before/ during (posted in another thread previously)

Creating a new thread because the other one has gotten really long.
So, here are my before and currents to keep the topic moving.

Current as of last week:

Still some work to do. 232 to 141. Size 20 to size 5/6. 5'3. Reached goal round seven months

I was sleeved 5/15/13. I'm down 106 pounds! Highest weight was 273 and today I'm 167 : )

Here is my before shot and after shot. My one year mark is this Friday, March 7th. I have lost over 100 pounds. I was a size 22, now I'm down to a size 2,3. I feel great. I work out almost every day and I thank God every day for this surgery.

A french fry.
Had taken my son to McDonalds for lunch on the run.
I'd ordered a grilled chicken sandwich and a bottle Water for later. It was part of the combo with the intention of giving my son the french fries from my meal. I pulled them outa the bag and gave them to him....reached back in the bag for my sandwich (their Artisan Grilled Chicken sandwiches are really quite good. I toss the lettuce and bun.) and found a couple fries left in the bag.
I ate them.
At first they had that perfect crunch and then as I chewed I began to get past the salt explosion and something else came to the surface. It was the flavor of grease....oil......and it was overpowering. I finished those two fries and grinned....knowing that I was done with them for good.
'Twas a most excellent cheating experience as it allowed me to experience a food that I used to overeat.....and see that I no longer cared for it at all.

Haven't read everyone's replies, but happened upon LipstickLady's and Kindle's--my WLS lifestyle and thought process seems much like theirs. The word(s) "cheat" or "cheat day" are no longer in my vocabulary. Neither is the word "diet." I will never have to be on a diet ever again. Nor is the bathroom scale the dictator of what kind of day/week/month I will have; I visit it just once a week to remind myself of my accountability.
WLS is SO MUCH about the choice being in our hands, when that piece of food goes from hand to mouth! I CHOOSE to regularly eat whole, unprocessed foods that nourish my body and keep it healthy. If/when I occasionally (once a week or less) choose a pre-planned unhealthy processed refined carb-type "food," it is merely not the wisest choice, it is not cheating because there is no reason to be guilty. And, I'm really picky now what kind of junk food those once-a-week indulgences will be.
Being free for the rest of my life from that guilt relationship with food feels so wonderful! It took me about 18 months to be totally confident in my new eating habits and really BELIEVE that I did not NEED to eat the processed fake food in carboard boxes that the food industry has so convinced all of us that we cannot live without. It certainly was not easy, by any stretch, to get my head there, but I am SO glad I have!

5 days post op. I had a few slivers of freshly shaved parmesan cheese. Chewed it as much as I could. It was delish and didn't cause me any issues.
I am so tired of the Protein shakes and flavored Water

I actually had 10 starbursts candies 5 days post op as I was traveling back home after the surgery, a 30 hour travel with layovers through flight and had zero options. Packed bullion cubes from the 7-11 in my carry on before leaving and the darn things must have fallen out as they were no where to be found. Nauseam was out of control and needed something. Don't regret it one bit as it was a life saver. Felt fine.

Feta freaking CHEESE! Week 1 post op!
