Progress Pics, Anyone?



Recommended Posts

My daughter and I spent the day at the zoo and took a couple of pictures....sometimes it takes a picture to really see the difference....for good or for bad!

The first on is me, last May, with Jake Shimabukuro....one of my favorite musicians.....

This one is today, with my daughter.....I'm down a total of 50 pounds since the pic last May!

Harley! You're both beautiful! Those 50 lbs have made an incredible difference. And I'm sure you can see it, otherwise you wouldn't have posted the photos! (insert winking emoticon)

I tease, but I think that one of the challenges we have is actually recognizing our achievement. Since I see myself every day, and the change has been incrementally slow, a lot of weight coming off a very big body, I rarely feel like I look different. But I see how my clothes hang off me now, and are way too big, and I've been dropping stuff off at the Salvation Army thrift shop, so I "know" I'm losing.

Still, when people say to me, "OMG! You look great! You've lost so much weight!", I'm not sure that I believe it. Despite the scales!

Anyway, congratulations, you look amazing. And how funny is it that your daughter is a young lady - when you mentioned the zoo, I'd imagined you pushing a stroller past the lion cage...

Thanks, Fenton....yes....it is such a good feeling!

What was really wonderful is that I spent six hours at the zoo...walking up and down the hills and all over....and felt great doing it!

My "baby" is almost 16......but she still loves the zoo!

Harley you look amazing what a difference! Wish I knew how to post a picture, but I'm a bit challenged in that area.

You and your daughter are beautiful!

If you upload a picture to photobucket, it's quite easy to post them here....just copy the code that photobucket gives you!

.....and thanks for the compliment....my daughter is as beautiful inside as she is outside, too.....just a great kid!

Harley, Bratz, and Kerri, you all look great! Isn't it amazing how fast you've changed? And Kerri, I hope you don't mind my saying so, but it looks like you've got a new, great-fitting bra!! :biggrin2:

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
