October 2006-1 month pre-op

July 2007-8 months post op

I finally decided to post. It has been a while. I guess I was scared of comparing myself with the other photos, but even though my loss is not uber-great, the doctor says I'm on target to hit my goal by next year. I guess I was feeling like a failure and ashamed to post. Honestly looking at some of these great photos, I think how did they do it!! Wowser!!!I can tell a big difference and I this is what matters most. The first is me at a Xmas party in Dec 2005, the second is a trip to Cancun this summer. I have lost about 50lbs.

Here are more before and durings... :-)

things are moving along again! FINALLY -- I have to bike about 15 miles a

day to see the results BUT grate thing is I CAN bike 15 miles a day!

Couldn't have done that in December!

The first two are before pics, the last two are me 30 pounds down. I have a long way to go, but I do see a little bit of a difference. :clap2:

Before and Now , still a work in progress

The first one was taken the night before surgery, the 2nd one was just taken, it is my 6 mos post op pic. Still have some way to go, but I'm seeing my colar bone for the first time in YEARS!

It's 23 months since my banding, so I thought I'd post some progress pics. :eek:

This is a picture of me at 291lbs- just before surgery, and another 5 months later at 242lbs. I'm at 1/2 my weight loss goal. I hope I did this right- it might take a couple of times.
