I have been here in the hospital receiving excellent care for a week. I am doing my very best to remain positive. But I admit I have my moments of regret, primarily because I can't care for my 14 month of daughter. Mind posting some BEFORE AND AFTER photos as a reminder and source of inspiration?

Best,

Sannah

Hi Sannah - Here are my before and after pictures to inspire you. I hope that you are healed quickly and can enjoy the holidays with your family. Merry Christmas!

Taken shortly before 7-2-2012 surgery in Rome. Weight at 335lb.

Taken a couple days ago. Weight at 205lb. Shirt poofing out in front is causing this me to have a bigger stomach then I currently have. LOL.

You are in my prayers.

Before

Today

Hope you like these

I was really debating whether or not to take them in front of the tree' date=' but wife said absolutly.

I'm 7 months out now, and less than 1lb away from having lost 100lbs.

Hope this brightens up your day a bit.[/quote']

I had my surgery on friday I too am on Clear liquids and Im hoping to heal fast I am not able to tolerate Protein shakes at this point

Sannah...Merry Christmas and get well soon. I'm sorry you're having such a tough time. I do admire your spirit though. Hang in there. It will get better.

This is my before and current. 163 pounds I'll never see again. Someone told me this morning, I've lost a Backstreet Boy. Good riddance.

Your before photo looks like a ER nurse I used to know. What is the time difference between the 2 photos?

About one year.

Can I ask O.T.R. what was your weights in before and after? How tall also? I looking for inspiration and you're about my body frame I think!

Sannah - I hope your leak quickly improves and you are feeling better soon!

Sorry, double posted!

I'm 5'6" started @ 289 today I am 190. Still got another 35-40lbs to go, but if I never lost another pound I'd still be happy. I've gone from a tight fitting (and probably stretched out) 44" jean size to comfortably fitting into a brand new pair of 32". And an XXL shirt that couldn't be tucked in to a large, and I can comfortably wear a belt again.

Hope you heal soon.... Pictures are below I'm 9 months post op 92 pounds down.

Hi Sannah! Here are my before and after as promised. I'm 7 months post op.
