I must say you are brave for taking and posting these pics......I thought about taking then like that, but chickened out....you really can see the changes though, CONGRATS!! and thank you for being willing to do this and share them!

I'm 5'4", start weight was 225. Had lap band in 2006, lost to 160-170lbs. Went to see surgeon to discuss pain I was having (ended up being all bladder issues). While there we talked about the sleeve since I was stuck with weight loss. Had my revision January of 2010. Got to my goal weight (135-145) within 6 months and have been coasting ever since. I give myself a 10lb swing with my weight before I get serious with cutting out high calorie foods. When I'm on the low end it's really too light for me because my face looks too gaunt. So I actually eat anything I want (sodas, sweets, carbs, etc.) just to maintain. My stomach can hold a lot more food now than a couple of years ago, so I can drag out a meal and look like I'm eating the same amount as others, which is nice during business dinners when you don't want to explain to strangers why you are only eating a small amount.

I feel younger now at 52 than I did all through my 30's and 40's because I'm so much healthier. Had been on meds for depression, high triglycerides and had sleep apnea (used C-PAP machine). Now I'm off all meds and of course no sleep apnea.

Your 52?!?! I hope to look half as good as you at that age! You look amazinggggggg!

Texas T,

You look great! I cant believe your 52yrs young you look maybe 39 yrs at the most. I have the same exact stats as you except I have not made it to goal yet in 6 months like you. I am gonna keep you as my inspiration. Thank you

Thanks for the kind words. My hubby's hair is all gray now (super sexy on him!), and he jokes that people will think he's my Sugar Daddy when we go out. We've been together since we were both 19, so he's glad to have his old girlfriend back .
