Before and After Lap Band Surgery - PICTURES ONLY

[Amieru 0]

I have been so inspired by this thread for the last year. I'm excited to be able to post my first progress pics to hopefully inspire someones else.

First pics (pink) are December 2007 at about 340lbs

The second set (green) are from June 2008 at about 260lbs

I've lost 83 lbs since my journey began in January 2008.

My surgery was in February 2008. Exactly 6 months TODAY!!

Okay, I think I will post...the pic of me in black is from my 30th b-day in Feb. 2007. I had surgery May 10th, 2007. The rest of the pics are face progresses...The last one of me in red coming out of a shower...lol ...is from this past Monday. I am only down 60ish lbs or so...slow but going in the right direction.

Okay guys, I am going to try this...

I am down about 55 pounds and wanted to show the newer me... Still aiming for another 30 but, this is a good representation... The AFTER me was not planned, or I would've put makeup on. But DH said it is me...

First is before... a year ago, second is when I was down 25 pounds, and 3rd is current... down 55 pounds....

This is me from March at 240lb. Thats 40lb down from surgery.

This is today at 204lb.

Sometimes I don't see the difference. I think I should be taking more pictures.

Ok, I usually post pics every 3 months, but I lost 15 pounds last month and couldn't wait to take pics. I am finally starting to look and feel like a new person.

The grey pics are preop at 242.

The other pic is today, down 76 pounds at 179!!

I haven't posted in a long time, one of those who got skinny, got a life and stopped posting. I had surgery almost 3 years ago and finally lost 100lbs (it honestly went by very fast) I'm now about 10-15lbs from my goal weight. starting weight 238 - now 138

This is what a 100 pound weight loss looks like on me. Start in November 2007, latest in June 2008.

I never thought I'd post shirtless pics, but here you all go -- now you can see the 15-20 I'm still working on

Damn weight is just -hanging- on. Can't figure it out. Going tighter is NOT an option for me, I've become pretty intolerant of the fills lately :thumbup:

I have posted these pics in our small local support group forum (of less than 30 people i think) where I felt it was "safe" to post them. The green shirt is around january 2008. It was taken a little bit before being banded. The striped blue and white shirt was taken today (-38 lbs). Small difference in the face...bigger difference in the waist (my clothes are much looser now. I slide in and out of my jeans like huggies pull ups).

I have taken a brave pill and decided to post them here..in the main forum..in front of the piercing eyes of hundreds of people...

..maybe even thousands of people...

:tt2::whatchutalkingabout

I am leaving before the brave pills wear off. I am already sprouting chicekn feathers as I type.

Congrats to everyone and their success!!!!!!! Thank you guys for being such an incredible source of motivation.

Ok so it hasn't been that long since I had surgery. However, I was taking some pictures for a scrapbook project and I noticed a difference in my face. So I'm gonna post them for the world to see, that a simple 17 pound loss can really make a difference!
