Before and After Lap Band Surgery - PICTURES ONLY

[wnt2lose 0]

This is a little scary. First pic was taken the end of Sept. I think I weighed about 287 lbs. then. Second pic was taken two days ago. 5 months after surgery. I now weigh 217.

I feel bad that I havent been posting pics each month like I was, I have been so busy! for fun I thought I would compare a couple of face shots as I have never done this before, I must admit I feel like one of the ads you see in weight loss magazines because I dont even have make up on in the before oh well. All I have to say is "This is why I'm hot" :regular_smile:

I haven't posted an update in awhile. This is a before face pic and some after face pics that I took yesterday. I have been on a plateau for about 3 months now. I am not gaining, but I am not losing either. I was getting somewhat depressed, but the comparison of the before and after does help me get motivated again.

(the after pics are taken from my cell phone, thus the fuzzy quality).

Me minus 70lbs...

I have been admiring all of these pics for quite a while now.. Everyone looks fabulous, and in a lot of cases look so much younger! I did a sisde by side pic today for my Gram and Gramp, so I wanted to share. It's not much, as I am about 3.5 weeks out, but I am so excited to be able to post on here:) I can't wait to see the "After"! Congrats to every on there accomplishments, you are all an inspiration!!!:ohmy:

I thought I would post since seeing my friend Manatee representing the guys. I was banded on Dec 18th by the great Dr K. in Aurora CO. Started at 280 and now 217. I plan to have ribs and abs showing by July. Sorry for the underwear picture I didn't plan on ever posting them online for goodness sakes.

I have lost a little over 50 pounds. I wish I could see more progress, but this is what I look like. I will keep on trucking! (sorry, I didn't think to put on makeup) Also should have made them smaller, but you live you learn... This is my first pic post for before and in progress...
