Hi everyone, my good friend Sallyjo (aka Fran) asked me to post these for her.

The before was taken day of surgery - April 25, 2006

She's been working really hard, 2nd picture was taken at end of June 2007 on our wonderful LBT cruise! --> only 9 lbs to GOAL!

WAY TO GO Sallyjo!

Love,

Karla

I finally reached my goal of 75kg ON my birthday last week, how freaky, lol, considering my goal was to reach 75kg by my fortieth birthday and the day before I was 76.1kg!

Anyway, here's me on Saturday night with my family, that's me in the black and grey stripes. Sorry I have no real befores, we had a computer meltdown and lost a lot of photos.

Here are some quick photos. I will post better after photos when I can stand up straight. Too sore for that right now but hopefully from these photos you can get an idea of the change.

Although not a before & after it is more like a "before & current". Still want to drop another 40lbs or so.

These are from my 6 months post op post.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
