Hi everyone -

I thought it would be nice to put faces to names and get some pre-op pictures on here. To start us off, here is one taken of me around Thanksgiving and one biking this past summer! Since I've never posted any pictures, I hope this comes out.

Ok. Slightly larger pics than I wanted, even though I sent them out as "smallest, lowest quality". Sorry - it is a little discerning to see my picture up there so large...

I love you already because you were out riding bikes even while you were bigger AND because you have my dream hair color!

Unfortunately, I won't be posting in photos of myself because of a meltdown that happened at another board I belong to. I'm extremely paranoid about being made fun of right now but...you just wait until I'm banded and start making progress. I'll be a big picture ho! =)

All I have are headshots right now, and of course I deleted all but the ones that make me look the thinnest. LOL

I plan on having my husband take some of me at the studio (I'm a photographer) as proper "Before" shots.

Here is me! All 290 poundages of me :-) I'm wearing funny outfit because I do rennaissance festivals, and this was a gathering, hence the hat and odd clothing.. LOL

Hi everyone!

It is so good to see more and more faces on here!

Coolcrystal and MirandaK - good luck with getting a February date!

Anna

Thank you so much! I really hope I can get this done in February! The way I've calculated it, my ins. has a month to approve it, and my doctor office said they can get me in fairly quickly and I'm going to go ahead and start the south beach phase one (which is what he requires to shrink the liver) in february wether I'm approved or not, that way when and if I get the approval I can say "lets do it now". Of course, this is only a dream of mine. LOL. It rarely works out like this.. I might not get approved... they might require more information... the doctor might be too booked for february.. so many factors.. But, it's my goal.

Thanks... I can't wait too just get started. My sister was banded on Dec 31st so now I am getting impatient. I don't want her to get to far ahead of me. So I have me finger crossed that everything is going to work out and I will be right there with her.

This is me on our anniversary trip to Louisianna last November. I was at about 289 in this shot. :) 293 was my all time highest. :eek:

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
