Before and After Lap Band Surgery - PICTURES ONLY



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone:

The one in the green shirt is of me before surgery. The ones taken today in the black and grey striped shirt are of me minus about 55(?) lbs. I have a weigh in coming up so I will know how much I have really lost/gained.

Thank ya'll for continuing to be my inspiration.

** I am sorry that I don't know how to make these pics smaller. **

I hit onederland today so I thought it would be appropriate to post a few pics. The first is me during Christmas of 2006 and the second is me on 10/12/08 after appearing in a fashion show for my bariatric group.

It's amazing. I was down 82 pounds in the second picture.

Yeah! This picture was taken at my DD's wedding yesterday. Isn't my mom just the cutest!

After 9 months I made it to goal, Size 6! This dress hung in my closet for three years, so dang happy I was able to finally wear it.:biggrin:

I will be working on getting the comments off the the thread .

we prune them from time to time and it has not been done in quite some time.

give it a day or so and it should be better. This thread is SUPPOSE To be limited to Pictures ONLY but it seems to not work that way .

Thanks

Mindy

EVERYONE PLEASE READ : With the PM system that is in place and now the places for comments to be left in peoples profiles PLEASE leave comments about peoples pictures in either of those places.

The comments bog down the thread and as people have said they have to weed through the thread to find the pics. The comments are GREAT and we ALL LOVE THEM But please put them PM the person or put them in their profile comments section .

Thanks

Mindy

So, surgery was April 22nd, which makes Wednesday exactly six months post-op. Time for some pics!

Last summer / Surgery Day / This week

My weight last summer topped out (I think) at 322lbs.

My weight at my initial consultation at the surgeon's office was 302.

My weight the morning of surgery was 289.

This morning, I weighed 241 pounds. My lowest weight since surgery was 238 last week.

I've lost 48 pounds since surgery and 81 pounds total.

I've gone from a size 26 jeans to size 18 jeans and a size 22/24 top to a 14/16 shirt. I can also fit into XL shirts in several brands.

I bought some new work out clothes yesterday (in a 1x!! woo hoo). I am just over over 10 months post op and -68.5lbs . The first picture is the day before surgery @ 319.5lbs. Work in progress, but it takes pictures like this for me to realize the change.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
