I weighed 333 lbs at my highest (known) weight in 2005. When I began my liquid pre-op diet in Feb, 2013, I weighed 270, and day of surgery was 258. Today I weighed in at 239.5!

The before picture shown here was from about 18 months ago when I weighed about 295 (I have no full-body pictures from my heaviest weight as I avoided cameras at all costs). I remember the moment the picture was taken, and I soooo did not want to be in front of the camera! It's hard to even look at the before picture because I'm ashamed that I ever allowed myself to get in that condition...but I'm thrilled with the work I have done to get to where I am today. It has been work, truly...not just physical work but especially EMOTIONAL work. It's amazing to me how when I became emotionally healthy, the physical health followed!

Since having the lap band surgery, I feel better than I have in years! I sleep so soundly, and I wake up feeling rested! My blood sugar levels are coming down! down! down! Looking forward to the next 60 lbs melting away!

That's amazing! Congrats to you!!
