I hit onederland today so I thought it would be appropriate to post a few pics. The first is me during Christmas of 2006 and the second is me on 10/12/08 after appearing in a fashion show for my bariatric group.

It's amazing. I was down 82 pounds in the second picture.

Yeah! This picture was taken at my DD's wedding yesterday. Isn't my mom just the cutest!

After 9 months I made it to goal, Size 6! This dress hung in my closet for three years, so dang happy I was able to finally wear it.:biggrin:

I will be working on getting the comments off the the thread .

we prune them from time to time and it has not been done in quite some time.

give it a day or so and it should be better. This thread is SUPPOSE To be limited to Pictures ONLY but it seems to not work that way .

Thanks

Mindy

EVERYONE PLEASE READ : With the PM system that is in place and now the places for comments to be left in peoples profiles PLEASE leave comments about peoples pictures in either of those places.

The comments bog down the thread and as people have said they have to weed through the thread to find the pics. The comments are GREAT and we ALL LOVE THEM But please put them PM the person or put them in their profile comments section .

Thanks

Mindy

Here are my pics... I hit my one year Bandiversary today....

So, surgery was April 22nd, which makes Wednesday exactly six months post-op. Time for some pics!

Last summer / Surgery Day / This week

Body Shots

Face Shots

My weight last summer topped out (I think) at 322lbs.

My weight at my initial consultation at the surgeon's office was 302.

My weight the morning of surgery was 289.

This morning, I weighed 241 pounds. My lowest weight since surgery was 238 last week.

I've lost 48 pounds since surgery and 81 pounds total.

I've gone from a size 26 jeans to size 18 jeans and a size 22/24 top to a 14/16 shirt. I can also fit into XL shirts in several brands.

Here is the latest from my "Before and During" pics. I am 10 months out today and I am down 72lbs. I have gone from a size 22 to a 14 and now those are getting small too.

I bought some new work out clothes yesterday (in a 1x!! woo hoo). I am just over over 10 months post op and -68.5lbs . The first picture is the day before surgery @ 319.5lbs. Work in progress, but it takes pictures like this for me to realize the change.

When making the desicion to have lapband this is the thread that was my inspiration! Now I get to post a picture myself! Everyone is still inspiring me!!

1st picture is the evening before surgery.

2nd picture is at 50lbs lost!
