Dr. John Bagnato - Bagnato Bandits Before/During/After Pics

[georgia girl 35]

Brina, girl, this is just for you!

I also look in the before and afters when I am having a crappy day, and today is one of those days. I have been doing so good with the food and today I made a lot of wrong food choices. I have learned not to dwell on those days and tomorrow is a new day! I guess I'll start the thread with my pics, I can't wait to see everyone else's pics!!

The first picture is me at 330lbs, the second is me at 260lbs. I still have such a long way to go, but I'm confident I can do it.

The first picture was taken in Dec. 2007 at 376 pounds. The second was taken today, a little over a month post op and 30 pounds down!

Wow Pamela and Mia!!!!!!! You guys are doing so well.

Pamela, you look completely adorable and I love the bangs. Can't wait to see you with the sassy bob!! You could honestly do it now, but I understand wanting to wait for the 'goal makeover'.

Mia, I can definitely see a change in the face. Way to go!

Unfortunately, I don't see much change in myself. Down 20 pounds now and feel so much better, my family says they see it, but I'm still waiting. Will post before and during soon. Maybe another ten pounds!! Lord, I hope that's sooner than later!!

Hello Guys:

So far I am in the before stages. But here I am in all my chunky chocolate glory

Wowee, you all look great. I am at work now, but I am going to go home and get my hubby to snap a pic and post some before and durings!!!

Mia- you're lookin good girl! Your face already looks thinner! Keep it up!

Brina- Girl, you are so funny and cute as can be! Can't wait to see some progress pics of you, I'm sure you'll be posting them soon.

Bamboobabe- Thanks, I really like the bangs better too. For some reason, my face looks better with bangs. I would get it cut, but I have this fat patch behind my neck and I'm a little self-conscious about it being exposed. Once I lose more weight, I don't think it will be as noticeable. I'll bet if you find a before picture of yourself and compare it to one now, you will see a difference. When I was a couple of months out, I snapped a shot and I didn't see a difference, but as soon as I put it next to my before pic, I was amazed at the difference. Hope to see your pics soon!

ParaGirl- Can't wait to see your pics!!!

You Look Great Pamela!! You are doing so well! And BTW, I got those stuffed chicken breasts- Tonight we had the bacon and cheese ones- OMG SOOOO YUMMY- even the family loved them!! I also bought the spinach and artichoke ones, I was tempted to get the ones with cheese and jalapeno but I was scared it would make my mouth hot and I would be tempted to drink so I didn't. Have you tried that kind? Are they spicy? Thanks for the great food idea! I cannot find edamame, who sells that and where is it? What does it taste like? LOL- can you tell healthy eating isnt my forte???!

[jbrad71629 2]

Thanks Mia!

I get edamame at Sams they have it frozen in little indidual containers that you just pop in the microwave. Walmart has some in the produce section near the tofu.

Hmm, I looked there, maybe they were out- what does it taste like?

[jbrad71629 2]

It is pretty yummy, kind of remind me of boiled peanuts.

The jalapeno ones are pretty hot!!! I fixed that one for my husband the other night and tried a bite.........whew, it's definitely got a kick, so I stay away from that one! The mushroom and cheese one is good too!

I order my dry roasted edamame online at snackaisle.com. They kinda taste like peanuts to me. Walmart has a boxed vegetable in the freezer section, of mixed vegetable's by Green Giant that are really good. It has edamame, carrots, blackbeans, and sugar snap peas. It's called Healthy Weight Vegetables. It's very good and high in Protein.

Jeannie, I posted about your pics on the other thread, but I just want to tell you again........you look FABULOUS! You look so much younger! Good for you, keep up the good work!
