For pix of a male before and after, and including tummytuck pictures (a bit "gross" if you can't stand stitches, drains, etc., but that's part of the adventure), check out www.mylapband.tk Pictures are all "graphic" but absolutely nothing obscene or nasty...except for the "gross" to some people noted above.

Wow!!! You Go, Girl!!!!

I was a little blue because I only lost one pound (I know I am an idiot for thinking that way!), so I had my daughter take my pictures so I could see how much my body has changed since my last pics. OK I feel better now! I can see the results. I also cleaned out my closet of everything that doesn't fit anymore. My closet has never been so empty!

Now I need some help... By what my PCP told me when I started this journey I should weight between 130 and 140 pounds. That is 20 - 30 pounds less then what I weight now. The difference between the May picture and today's picture is 17 pounds. How much more should I lose?

Mary looks great! :clap2:

I was also feeling blue about my weight loss slowing down (to a crawl) and feeling under-filled. Plus I don't think pictures make me feel better - I only focus on how much more I need to lose. So although I don't have big-numbers loss like most people here, I guess I'm seeing some progress.

Here are my pics:

  • Picture #1 combines two pictures of me wearing the same outfit.

The first half is AFTER LapBanding (I'd lost some but no where near now) but before my Tummy Tuck. It's obvious why I needed the TT in that pic!

In the second half, I've lost a lot more weight, and I've had the much-needed TT.

Picture #2 is current. Whew, even I think I look visibly better, and I'm my worse critic. :phanvan

Oh well, I've got LOTS more work to do before I consider myself a Weight Loss success.

My before and afters....the before wasn't even at my highest! I was about 260 there. I eventually climbed to 275. The two of me alone are from Father's Day. I was at 224. Now I'm down about 10 or 11 lbs.
