Alright, let's try this again... the top two are the morning that I began my pre-op diet (April 16, 2007). The next two were taken July 12, 2007 and the bottom two were taken October 14, 2007.

I am crossing my fingers that this works!

HI EVERYONE!!

IT HAS BEEN A YEAR BANDED!

I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS I'VE GOTTEN.

BEING BANDED HAS BEEN ONE OF THE BEST THINGS I'VE DONE IN MY LIFE.

HERE I WANT TO SHARE MY BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES.

(1 YEAR AFTER) :whoo:

I think the only thing I lost in the last month is boobs and hair!! I like my start and current photos but from month to month I cant tell any difference!

Congrats on the weight loss. You have made tremendous strides in this journey. You are going to be SMOKINNNNNN....(No pun intended of course) hehehe keep up the GREAT job! Very proud of you! :whoo:

Hi everyone! I am not yet banded but I just took my "before" shots today so I thought I'd post them here to officially get the ball rolling :-) I am hopeful that I will be banded by mid-December but I've started working on myself already in preparation. So here I am in all of my glory. Enjoy!

BTW... that weight for today is wrong... it should say 278!

Thought I would add a couple pictures here. I hope I can get this too work. My before was taken this summer before the surgery. My current picture was taken last night at a Halloween party. I cant really see a big difference in the pictures but I thought I would share anyway. I am planning on adding full body pics soon. And I want to say that I love this thread. Seeing all the success stories is very inspiring.

I don't see much of a difference... but I can see a slight slimming in my face...

First pic me 303lbs, second and third pic me 253lbs..down 50 lbs as of today, but still have a long way to go...

Here's my 6 month progress pics. I'm very, very pleased.

It truly hurts to look at my before pic…….I don’t even recognize myself.<O:p</O:p

Thank God for my band! It is not magic, but it does help me to stay on plan.

April 1, I had faced the scale 272 lbs, second is 10/26/07 @ 210 lbs

These sets of pictures really, REALLY helped me to see a visable difference in my appearance.

Here's my most recent before/after. I still have 26 pounds to lose.

I am so encouraged whenever I look at this thread...I thought if I posted mine it might help to see them side by side. This is me the night before surgery and on my 5 month anniversary.

Okay here is my before and after thus far I still have about 77 pounds to go for my Ultimate goal. I finally got under 200 pounds so I feel awesome. I started off wearing size 27 in jeans and I am now down between 12 and 14. Size 14 is lose and 12 is still to snug LOL I hate that.

I dont have any official before pictures but I think this one will work ok. It was taken this summer early July. The other was taken tonight just before my boyfriend took me out to dinner for my birthday. I am finally starting to see a difference when I look at my old pictures. I also wanted to thank everyone for the kind comments on the pictures I posted a couple days ago. And again I just have to say that I love this thread!!:whoo:
