3 MONTHS POST OP

3 MONTHS POST OP

Last 4th of July to this 4th of July! Husband down 100lbd I'm down 113lbs!

One year has past!! On 7/15/11 (A WHOLE YEAR!) I had weight loss surgery (Gastric Band), it was one of the best decisions I could have made. On the day of surgery I weighed in at 308 lbs, I'm currently down 64 lbs and 4 pant sizes, I have 64 lbs to go ...until my goal weight. it has been a tough year but it was all worth it. Although I have a ways to go I am so happy with my results so far. Now do I like exercising?! Negative! But it is what I HAVE to do, it's a new way of life for me, I accept it. I am healthier both physically and mentally and can't wait to reach my goal!
Here's to the next year and me hitting my ultimate goal weight of 180!!
Happy Bandiversary to me!!

Ok guys..only been 3 1/2 months but heres what i got down 48.5!

8 months post op - 80lbs down

I thought that I would finally post my pics so far along my journey. I am almost halfway to goal and almost at the 1/2 year mark. Slow and steady will win this battle!! Until I saw these side by side, I didn't realize the difference in my face!

October 2011 - 276lbs to August 2012 - 199lbs

Surgery was June 18th, 2012 and on September 19, 2012 I took some 50 pounds down pictures! The sun was of course completely in my eyes. I took some with the same outfit from June, and then some in an outfit that actually fits.
