I love seeing the progress people have made after surgery. So for those comfortable enough to share them I'd love to see your before and after (and even progress) pics. I haven't had surgery yet (and wont for at least another 3mths) so I don't have any to post but I still like seeing what I have to look forward to. The pic below is me at my highest of 316lbs 2hrs after my son was born.

I'm 6 months out and 70 pounds down! pic here is at preop 3months and 6months out.

You have done amazing! I can't believe how well you have done in 1 year. Congratulations. I would love to be down 140 in my first year too. I'll tell you Dr. Weiss knows his stuff. He might not be warm & fuzzy, but he's great at what he does & I love the team at Tristate!

Thats great! Looking good

The picture on the left was taken Summer 2012 and the picture on the right was from last weekend. I was sleeved on March 4th! I am happy with my success so far but I still have a little more to go until I reach my goal.

Thanks.. well I started at 353 sooooo I knew it was gonna be a lil faster at the beginning. I eat every 3 hrs about 3-3.5 ozs at a time. I drink tons of Water and theres only been few times ive gone under 80 grams of Protein a day. I stick with lower carb options. I mostly eat meat and cheeses. Havnt incorporated much veggies and fruit into my diet bc I focus on protein first so I rather fill up on steak than peas.. yanno? I dont "cheat" and havnt fiven myself and food rewards. I figure I can relax when im at a more desirable weight. I walk at least 5 days a week around 1.5miles... I track my steps with my fit bit zip... andi go to the gym 2xs a week for strength training for an hour.

Your dedication is inspiring and has paid off.

Haha! Thanks! I want to lose a little more in my stomach area. It is where I'm bothered the most. I feel like I've lost everywhere but there! It's the best decision I ever made. Good luck and hope you have it soon and all goes well. It's a wonderful thing!
