I'm getting braver! The first one is from July 2007 three days after surgery in my DD's messy room weight was approx. 287. I lost 38 pounds before I was banded. Thankfully I don't have any pictures from my high of 324 pounds. The second one is from this past weekend, 7 months post surgery, ten months dieting, weight approx. 218. Still quite heavy:redface:, but did you notice those collar bones, LOL!

If anyone knows how to make them smaller, please do.

Thanks. Gotta run - support group tonight.

Ok, so I started this journey in Feb 2006 at 218 lbs. I am currently at 165 lbs and I am just tickled to death!! I started at a size 18, and I am currently in a size 8!! The loss has been slow, but I am getting there…very close to goal!! I met my original goal, and now I have set a new goal. I have included some pics of me at around 190 wearing an orange shirt and tan capris…then I am in the same clothes at 165lbs. I just did it for reference. It was fun to see the difference. Sometimes I forget to give myself credit for my accomplishment. Putting on the old clothes helps me remember just how big I really was compared to my current size!

Here is before @ 208, surgery day, then current, in progress--in my size 8s!!

Annnnd Before:

And this is fun...me at 190 something:

And again at 165:

A few inches and a silly girl:

And finally, I am just happy now...I actually let people take my pic!!

Ok here is my two month update. I am almost embarrassed to show this first picture because I am so huge but here it goes. I amdown about 30 lbs now.

[ousooner 1]

I thought I would post a different kind of before and after. I posted the first picture in the scar stages thread a week after I was banded. I am almost 2 years post op from being banded. I had an abdominoplasty 3 weeks ago in the second picure. I am still very swollen from the surgery, but thought it was very cool to see how my band scars and moles have moved after my PS. The port scar was about 5 inches above my belley button. Now it is right next to it. (My one pic was done in the mirror, so it looks likes its on the opposite side)

Hi everyone! Just thought I would post some progress pics. The first picture is me at 330lbs (sorry it's fuzzy) and the second picture is me at 260.

All I have right now is a head shot, but I'll eventually do a full body shot.

Me at 330lbs

Me at 260lbs
