I just want to take a minute and say how abso-freakin'-lutely AWESOME it is to see the updated pics that are starting to get posted, and profile pics that are changing with the 9-6 month crowd (kinda what I lump myself in at the moment) - We are changing so much!

I want us all to be very prowd of ourselves, and feel really good! yay! Yay for US!

For those coming our way, you will see this too! You will have this NSV too!

Hugs to all in a really feel-good moment I had to share!

We are changing so much

Pookeyism.

I don't have any old pictures of myself, i am still looking though.

I never wanted pictures taken of me being heavy.

My DH took a couple of pictures of me the day before WLS was too ashamed to post -_-

In other words i will never see an actual picture of myself to compare - before/after :(

I know i've lost alot of weight, but i can't "see" it from 6+ months ago/to now

Didn't feel that great about myself before - feel much better,healthier,happier now

i know that once again that the sleeve is only a tool to make me feel even better, i still have to deal with other weight issues, self esteem too, nothing is a quick fix, i do know that

some people look so good that there dr. wants to show before/after pictures in an advertisement. hmmm Pookey?

feel much happy about myself

don't look too bad either :lol:

good luck to us all

Hopefully you are feeling better :)

I love seeing new pictures, too! It's astounding how much everyone changes in so little time! I still don't 'see' it in my pictures, but it must be there because it's there for all my sleeve sisters and brothers!! :)

Well I had surgery on Feb 27 but my Pic was taken for my work id Aug 2011.... some one asked me who was that on my id .... I said the old me....lol .... and my friend said come get in the picture shadow of yourself. Yes I've lost 55 lbs and happy for it.... I've been in a stall for about 3 weeks getting back to basics Protein, protein, protein few carbs may be this will give me a jump start. 45 more lbs to goal but I feel so good now. This is the best thing I could have done for myself.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
