I am at about the same spot as you. My problem right now is some major stress in my life. I am hoping when things calm down a bit that I will start losing again. But I did kick up the workouts for a bit, well STARTED working out. Good luck at your workout plans too!

Thanks guys. I can't wait until I get to the 100lb mark loss. My tentative goal is by Thanksgiving.

Regardless, even if I don't - I FEEL so much better and I still have over 100lbs to lose.

It saddens me to think how many years I've wasted. My only regrets were waiting so long to get the band.

Have a great weekend!

So, here are a few.

August 2008 - Right before I decided that I wanted to pursue surgery. (In Central Park.) I saw these pictures and it just confirmed everything - I looked terrible and felt terrible. I could barely make it through the day in NYC doing tourist stuff.

February 2009 - A week before surgery - 10lbs down on Pre-op diet. (At Franklin Institute.)

5/09 - 3 months post-op and 34lbs lost! (At my Uncle's wedding.) Notice - NO STOMACH ROLE! Highlight of my life!

6/09 - 4 months post-op and 37lbs lost! (In Chicago.) Now, when doing tourist stuff, I feel great. I can keep going. I'm not tired and my feet don't hurt. Unlike the first photo, I felt wonderful.

Hi everyone! I'm 2 weeks post-op, and I wanted to share a few of my before/during pics.

The 1st one is from about a month before surgery; the 2nd one is 1 week post-op.

boy oh boy, I cant believe my behind is about to post this face pic. I tell you I cried as I uploaded this pic. Well the first face pic was me in the summer of 2008, i took it as a before pic to remind me at how I eat my soul away(I used to be slim, however, life stressors led me to the wonderful world of the wizard of food) at 290 pounds and a pic I took a few weeks ago at 175 pounds. Is a drastic drastic change. I also added a few other pics I took from may 2009 until June 2009 as slimmed my way down to the mid 170s :thumbdown: One thing I miss about my pre surgery days is my dominican/puerto rican food, howeevr as good as it is Latin cuisine requires a lot of rice eating, I cant eat rice to save my life! it gets stuck, so I dont eat it!

loveislovely, you look freaking amazing! love your sense of style, too.

k, i just posted this pic in the main pics thread, but figured i should add it here too since people my age would probably be more interested. there are more pics i just added in a private album on my profile (add me as a friend if you want to see them)

hate this before pic, but its a good reminder of where i came from and why i am NEVER going back! this current pic i took tonight after a workout.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
