I don't see too much difference, but maybe you will! The first pictures were taken during the summer, in July, a month before surgery and before I started the pre-op diet.

I HATE the side view before!! Thank goodness those days are gone!

The current pics are in the jeans.

Here are also some of my face. I see a big difference, but it's more the LOOK on my face (and in the before I look sickly.)

The before is the one in the tank top (it was August after all) and the after is in the coat.

I'm excited to post the pictures that have a REAL different look, but that will be later!

I am officially one year out as of Sunday! I am down 114 pounds now! I started one year ago weighing 288 and am now 174. I wore size 26/28 pants and a 3X shirt. I now wear 10/12 (mostly 12..lol) and a Medium shirt. I LOVE this band!!

Before pics are in the black shirt (obviously..lol) and current pics are in pink.

My Pic...Before surgery, @ 40 pounds lost, and 50 pound mark!

Thanks

I'm almost eight months out and here is an updated picture at 89 pounds lost. Before is 303 and progress shot is 214. I cannot believe the difference in how I feel about everything in these eight months. I'm so blessed!

I lost about 14 pounds from my all time high when the first photo was taken before my surgery. That means I am 91 pounds from my all time high and 77 pounds since surgery.

Still at 201!! Argh, I really wanted to be in Onderland by the end of September but I've increased my workouts and I feel great so i'm not THAT upset, just a little disappointed. Looking at my before pics really make me feel better. I may be a seriously SLOW loser but the proof is in the pics, it's coming off just very slow and I feel like a new person!! :wub:

I can really see the difference in my face..

I know I've already posted this current picture, but I have a better before picture that was taken at my surgeons office 2 weeks before my surgery. I don't even recognize that person anymore.

I had to post one more time. This is a picture of me at my class reunion (I'm in the middle) and the second is a picture of me now (Sept 19, 2008).

I didn't realized how much I had gone down until I looked at this picture. I am really inspired.

I've only lost 18lbs since surgery, but I've lost 56lbs this year!!

I'm down from a 28W-30W to a 24W jeans.

AFTER:

This was taken about 2 weeks ago....

This was taken today...by my helpful 4 year old son.

Before; May 14, day before surgery.

After; October 3, less than 5 months out.

I posted some "pretty" pictures a few weeks ago and now here are the "ugly" ones...

this is probably way overdue. im posting a picture of me and hubby, he has lost 205lbs and i have lost 74. not sure if i got this uploaded correctly, if not, could someone help me? thanks, you guys are awesome!!!

Hello Everyone:

The one in the green shirt is of me before surgery. The ones taken today in the black and grey striped shirt are of me minus about 55(?) lbs. I have a weigh in coming up so I will know how much I have really lost/gained.

Thank ya'll for continuing to be my inspiration.

** I am sorry that I don't know how to make these pics smaller. **
