Thanks for seeing it guys, cause I still can't really. That frustrates the hell out of me. Not seeing the weight loss.

I have lost 22 pounds! nothing is loose on me so I wont bother post a picture. I still have a long way to go before I see any visible effects. I am still wearing the same clothes!! I was wearing pants size 22w while weighing 296LBS, I currentyl weigh 274LBS and I am still wearing the same pants - they are not even loose at all - not even extra comfortable... they are exactly the same..... so I wonder where the 22 pounds came from!!!

I believe my weight crept up on me because I was able to maintain the same wardrobe through time, I can still fit in some of the stuff I wore when I was 250LBS!!

I've been so reluctant to post pictures on here. I have no idea how to post a picture on here. lol. So if there's nothing, I apologize. BUT, if all has gone well....the first picture was my Rockstar Debut in NYC back in July 2006 and the second one was taken two nights ago. My family had been anxious to see pictures of me and wanted me to compare. I didn't realize there was much of a difference, but seeing the side by side, I can see the improvements. Woo Hoo. This is exactly what I needed as I haven't noticed the scale moving in a few weeks and I am scheduled for a check-up next week. I try not to dwell on the scale, but I can't help it. I'm feeling better and that is by far more important than the number on the scale.:Angel_anim:

What day is your visit, I am going in on July 2 at 9:30am. And I need a fill. The scale hasn't moved much for me either.

You look great too!

Thanks very much, Chrisann. I'm going in on the 2nd too! But not until 1:40pm. :thumbs_up: I haven't had a fill since probably late Feb/early March. I don't know what level I'm at...something like 7cc. I still have occasional PB episodes so I'm reluctant to get a fill. Like I said, I try not to focus so much on the number but I'd gotten used to losing the 1-2 pounds a week. But I have gone out more lately and not made the best food choices and I haven't been drinking as much Water as I should. So I really can't be TOO disappointed. I choose to believe it's the fact that muscle weighs more than fat and the weights I've incorporated in my workout are paying off. heeehee. We'll see next week. How are things going with you?

I am at 6cc, but can eat in the AM now, so want a fill. Its not the scale I am focusing on either, its how much I am able to eat. Still making good food choices, but eating more than I should be.

I make AM appts because they see you pretty much on time. When I make the middle afternoon ones, I am always there for a while and wind up missing a few hours of work. With the AM appts, I get to work around 10am.

When I have been hungry after eating a meal, I have been eating fruit. I don't know if that is good or not but I am usually satisfied after that.

Thought I would throw in a recent pic. From vacation...My 6 month banniversary is tomorrow. Thought I'd be down a little more than I am, but still trudging along. Go for another fill on Tuesday, that should help some!

Oh my goodness! I just realized that tomorrow is my 6 month anniversary too! How quickly time has passed! Looking good NukeChik! I just got another fill last week and I think it's too much. Just started back on regular foods today and I've had a TERRIBLE time. Going to give it a week to see if I can adjust though.

I forgot to take a picture this weekend for my 6th month bandiversary. I know that I am down to a size 20 from a 24 in pants, so that is better than a picture in my mind....:thumbup:

You guys have been so brave to post your progress pics as you've gone along, and I've finally worked up the courage to do the same. The pic with the solid green shirt was taken the day before surgery at 259 lbs. The lavender shirt was in early April at 230. And the one of me with my boyfriend was taken last week at 209.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
