Okay the first one is me now one year out down 90 pounds, and the second is day of surgery. It's not the best picture but it will certainly do!

this weekend will mark my 16 month bandiversary... i dont think i could be more pleased with my progress. (ok ok, goal would be nice, but this is good too).

hopefully these angles satisfy some of the more picky viewers of pics :blushing:. if not, tough. :regular_smile:

dunno what is up with my left leg, my DH said it doesnt really look that deformed, must just be the way i stand - i guess that would explain why my trainer always tells me to straighten my feet!!:tt1:

Hello Ya'll:

My surgery is scheduled for 2/25/08. In an act of bravery, I am deciding to post these pr-op pictures. Wish me luck.

Hi All, I thought I would join in the fun. The pictures on the left show me at 300 - 305 lbs (pink shirt taken in May 07; white shirt taken in June 05). The pictures on the right are post-surgery (orange shirt taken in Nov 07; purple blouse taken in Dec 07). It's a start! :)

Congratulations to everyone! All the pictures have left an impression on me. I was especially inspired by Boo Boo Kitty. :crying:

Yesterday morning, my mom (who doesn't see me often) exclaimed about my cheekbones. She kept saying that I look so much thinner in my face, so I put some pictures together just to track it. It'll be 2 months post-op (to the day) on February 14th, so I guess it's about time for this. :)

I am still a work in progress! Nowhere near my goal weight, but I'm working on it!

OK...here goes nothing. The first two were taken just prior to surgery. The third was taken about five weeks ago (sorry I forgot to take a current side shot).

I just found a picture of me online that was taken this weekend. I had to take a second look because I can't believe how skinny I look. It's so weird, but when I picture myself I still see me as being at least chubby. But then seeing pictures like this are a big eye opener. Good news, though, I am 2 lbs from goal!

The first picture was from July at 55 lbs down. The second is this weekend at 91 lbs down.

      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.

      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! 😞
