Everyone is just looking so good!:blushing:

OK...came across some other "before" pictures that I thought that I would share, along with some very new pictures (taken last week in Vegas). What do you think?

I've come to this page many times looking for & receiving inspiration, motivation, hope... thanks to everyone who has posted! It takes a bit of courage, I'm finding!!

Nerves or no... here I am! Before = Jan 2006, 300+lbs; After = March 12, 2008, 237lbs, -80! (more still to go, but it's a good start!):

Everyone looks so wonderful! You are all such an inspiration!

I haven't posted my pics in a while, I haven't noticed much of a change lately but I love that you guys share, so I should too! I know how much the pics help me keep going...

I am almost 7 months out and am down 67lbs. I started at a tight size 24 and am in a lose 18 now. The best part....I have a waist again :biggrin:. Sorry for the lack of makeup with this latest pic....frankly I didn't care what I looked like when my friend snapped the pic this morning.

Great job! I was just banded by Dr Marsden this past Monday and very encouraged by your before and after pictures...

I sent a request to you to add as a friend on myspace!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
