I am 8 months post op. I am down 99.5 pounds. That number doesn't even seem real. This journey is so amazing. We are the only ones who will ever understand the highs, lows, and complete life changing situations that come with weight loss surgery. Some days are great, some days are not. Whenever I have a bad day I get on this site and read everyone's success and tips. I also look back at old pictures to see how far I have come. I encourage everyone to do the same. Make some before and after collages. You will feel amazing in no time! The before pic is two months before surgery. The after is about 7 months post op.

Nice change!!

Congratulations.. You really do look amazing. Well done

Hi. Does your total weight loss of 99.5 include pre-op or was it all post op?

Congratulations.. You really do look amazing. Well done

Thank you!

Hi. Does your total weight loss of 99.5 include pre-op or was it all post op?

That was total since the day of surgery. Total since pre op diet is about 120.

Thank you! You look great!

old pics - new pics

it is amazing to see before and after

you might say, "was that really me?"

then you look at your new pic, in your full length mirror

and you might say something like "i look and feel great"

what a difference

I wish i had bunches of before pics to look at

i always stayed away from camera

if i was in a picture (under protest)

i hid in the back

hubby took one picture of me a couple of weeks pre-op

next one was after i hit my goal

i wish i had thought of taking more frequent pics during my transformation

where were you 3.8 months ago

and you could have told me to take more pics?

oh well, i still love ya

coming to the board for any reason is uplifting

looking at others experiences and success-does give you encouragement

this experience with weight loss is amazing

you will reach goal!!!

then what??

you will/must continue to follow all the rules you've learned for the rest of your healthier, happier, longer life

what a wonderful life you will continue to have

99.5 lbs down!!!

I do this same thing. When I have a day where I feel like I haven't made much progress, I look at my old photos. I just did a side by side too and wow it made me feel great! You look good! Keep doing what you are doing!
