Time for a before and "so far" picture

The first is me at my heaviest of 277. The second is me right now at 215.5. I am 5'8. Had my surgery Feb 7th, 2008. I had lost 7 lbs before my first pre-op appt but this is the result of my cumulative pre and post op weight loss. Still have about 45 lbs to go.

I've lost 15 lbs this past month due to awesome restriction...It's been a rather frustrating month as I try to figure out what to eat...but the result has been very fun!!!

There was a HUGE shadow...so we had to do a little photoshop work...and I'm tired and didn't want to bother to take out my VERY red face...that's not my normal face color...although my rosascea is rather enflamed right now...uggh!

I love my band!

P.S. HELP - if you cant see the attached picture, can someone post it for me?

P.S.S. Rain - you look amazing - you have been an inspiration for me since I started this journey

Also well done to everyone that has posted pics on this page. It is an inspiration to all and you have all done so well.

Take care,

Josh.
