Hello, all! I'm Lindsay, and I will be exactly 4 months post-op tomorrow. I'm about 75 lbs out, so I thought it'd be a good time to post progress pictures. Here are some facts:
Date of surgery: 6/6/2012
Age: 25
Height: 5'11
Highest weight: 383
Weight on date of surgery: 368
Current weight: bouncing between 308 and 315 for the last FIVE WEEKS. ANNOYING.
Approximate weight loss: 70-75 lbs
Goal weight from my doc: 150-155
Weight left to lose: about 150-155 (eeek)
HIghest pants size: 26
Current pants size: 22(tight)/24
I've posted a few times on this site how I'm frustrated that 75lbs lost= one pants size drop for me, but lots of you gave a lot of great insight (larger sizes are further spaced apart than lower sizes, since I'm tall, theres more area to lose from, etc). I've taken lots of progress pics in different outfits, but in these pics, Im trying on a size xxl shirt from Old Navy that fit years ago but had been way too tight recently (as you'll see in the pic, I couldnt even pull it down over my stomach). The jeans are a size 22 that were always a bit snug, but I chalked it up to them being skinny fit...yeah right. Before surgery, they werent even close to buttoning.
The first picture was taken the week before surgery in early june, the middle picture is mid-august, and the last picture was taken today. It doesn't fit perfectly, but its progress! And please excuse that horribly offensive first shot where my stomach and underwear is exposed. Not cute.
