I'm a very busy mommy who works 50-60 hours a week. Of course I know I've lost weight but honestly I had no idea how heavy I was before or how much I lost until I just decided to do this side by side. I don't own a scale so not sure how much I weigh right now but I was down around 50 lbs last time I checked a couple weeks ago. WOWZERS I just thank God Almighty for finding a way for me to have this surgery. So THANKFUL! Made me cry looking at myself before...that picture was taken at my sisters graduation in May 2012, had my surgery August 2012, and the after photo was taken a couple days ago November 2012.

wow...look at you, your beautiful. I am so excited to start losing. Im a little dissapointed because a week postop i am back to what i was b4 surgery....i gained 8 lbs of fluid...i am having trouble getting my fluids down because of pain and reflux but i pray that is temporary. One thing in your pick i really noticed also was your arms look good not flabby....thats great...you should be proud,

O yes, I remember all the fluid from the IV's. It was very hard getting down fluids in the beginning but it is temporary. Just remember to sip not gulp because that does hurt. I'm finally now able to drink good amounts of fluids but the first 6-8 weeks I was so dehydrated from lack of fluids so be careful and don't forget to drink your water. Thanks for the compliment about my arms...my stomach on the other hand is a whole other story and the only part of my body that will probably need some extra work after all the weight is gone.

me too...im bottom heavy for sure but i know you can do it! Yeah definately going to work on my fluid intake...is hard...i see the doc teusday and i am going to ask for something to help with nausea and reflux and i should be fine. Thanks for the encouragement.

Wow! You look great and you've made great progress in such a short time! Congrats to you! I can't wait to start my journey!

You look amazing. Keep up the good work!

Congratulations!!!!!

Great job! Congrats!
