The first picture is at my friend's wedding in August (about 3 weeks before surgery - I was at my high of 313). The second picture was taken a couple days ago - I am now at 265. Almost 50 lbs gone!!

The 3rd & 4th pictures are face comparisons... the 3rd one was taken some time in the summer before surgery and the 4th picture was taken a couple weeks ago.

Hi, this is my husband and me on New Years Eve overlooking Sydney Harbour (which is where we live). I hadn't worn this outfit for 5 years (couldn't bear to get rid of it) so I was happy and we had a great night.

7 months and counting. 61 pounds down so far and so happy. It's recently that most people have noticed. I get comments like "you're withering away" "hey slim" etc. I love it! :tongue:

Pre band- May 2008 :biggrin:

Hi. To clarify. I've lost the 70 lbs since I went to my very first appointment the third week of September 08. I go in tomorrow the 5th for my first fill. Was banded on Dec 4th. I feel like a new man already. Getting this tool is the very best thing that I have ever done in my life. Except for getting married to the most wonderful woman in the world 21years ago!!:)

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
