Before picture of me playing the role of a patient for a website. Ugh! New co-workers didn't believe it was me!!

2nd picture taken last month at Eilean Donan Castle, where the film "Highlander" was filmed. The Isle of Skye is in the background. Beautiful part of Scotland!

I hit my goal a few months ago but I'm still losing, so thought I would share newer pics. :thumbup:

First photo was at 215lbs, second is now at just over 136lbs.

I am not sure if I am doing this right but here goes. I was banded on February 4 2008 and I have lost over 200 lbs, however some was before surgery.

My before and after are in my signature. I got my band in July of 2004, so I am 5 years post-op now. I plan on getting plastic surgery sometime in the fall because I have a LOT of excess skin. I'm definitely a little scared about it, but excited to get it done.

Everyone here looks so great! I said I wouldn't post til I was at goal or really close to it but whatever!

The first 2 pics are pre-surgery at 359 lbs sometime in the spring of 08 and the last 2 are at my current weight of 245 lbs summer of 09. About 75 lbs more to go...

Good morning Everyone!

I made a promise to myself (and several friends on this board) that I would post pictures when I hit my 50% loss mark - I have lost 55 pounds of the 110 that is my goal, so I'm keeping my word!

The 'before' pic is from Summer 2008, before I even investigated the lap band, and the 'after' pics were taken this morning.

Be kind, y'all!:thumbup:

Before...August 2008...I gained another 10 lbs before surgery. Current is about 179. I will start back to weight loss when I return from vacation next week. I can't wait to surprise my family this week. They don't know I had surgery 9 months ago and they don't know I have lost all this weight! Do you think they will recognize me???

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
