Unfortunately I had a recent birthday - that required a re-newed drivers license.

I thought the old/new version of me was worth sharing... old was in 2002, I had wls in 2004, new is 2006

I am almost one month post op. My "breaking point" was pictures of me at my family reunion this past July 2006. I decided to look at them today and I was shocked! I guess because this is more gradual to me I had no idea the difference. I am down 25 pounds total including pre-op diet. Check this out.....

This first picture is from July 30, 2006 the second picture was this past Wednesday.

I thought I should update my pics. The first ones were 2 days before surgery and the second ones 6mths down the road and 92lbs down. I wore the same clothes but they dont do me justice...the top hangs now and the back of the pants dont touch my legs...new clothes next time around me thinks...

I am 5 months post op as of today and can finally see some progress! Here are my before pics (well actually the pics are prior to surgery but I lost 14 pds before surgery with the pre-op diet) And my pictures as of today. I have such a goofy grin on my face in the pre-op one, LOL

Hey guys,

My first before and after picture posting. The one on the left is me tonight, and the right is me about 4 years ago (my ID photo), and I wasn't even at my highest. Probably only maybe 250-260 there.. this is a good comparison picture for me, cause I don't even really believe I looked like that, EVER!

post-206047-13813134198595_thumb.jpg

I can't say before and after because I'm not done losing yet so these are my before and during pictures. Pardon the first pic as that was taken at 4am and the photographer didn't check to see if I blinked hahaha. Looks like I'm on the drugs to put you under just before surgery hahaha.

277_227_212 more shrinking to go.
