Pics! 6 wks post, 26 lbs down...already see difference!



Recommended Posts

I’ve thought I would post a before and after shot of me to show you the difference in my face from pre-banding to now. The pre-shot was taken on the morning of my surgery day…driving to get banded! The current shot was taken a few days ago. I can definitely notice a difference in my chin.

Click on the shots to see them in full size!

You look fantastic! Wow, what a great feeling and it only gets better and better! You should be so proud! I always look at my double chin in the side mirrors when driving. In fact today while I was getting a hair cut I was fixated on my chin...fantasizing on getting my hair done in a few months and getting the hair cut I want because my face will be slimmer! You are such a good motivator for us to keep going! Thankx for posting

You look wonderful! Congratulations. I just signed up on this site as I just had my banding done on 4/15/08 and am just over my first week. I am feeling nervous and scared and hope that I will be able to find help and support here. You do look wonderful!

I Lise (band twin)! Well done! All of my big scrubs are getting a bit baggy too! I still weigh too much to get into my next scrub size down, so I will try again when I am another ten pounds down. Keep up the good work. SS

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
