I bought some new work out clothes yesterday (in a 1x!! woo hoo). I am just over over 10 months post op and -68.5lbs . The first picture is the day before surgery @ 319.5lbs. Work in progress, but it takes pictures like this for me to realize the change.

Folks...I was looking at pictures from my niece's birthday this weekend and I came across a picture of me...no head, a little grainy...but it was me. And it TOOK my breath away.
I have to be honest. I don't see myself like this at all. Generally, all I can see are the negatives...and while I am not yet a "thin" woman (still obese....8 lbs to go to overweight!!!!), I am just absolutely blown away that that normal looking person in the second picture is ME...MEEEEEEE!!!!
Every time I look at this, which has been quite often tonight (narcissist) my eyes fill up with tears. I am just so overwhelmed with this change in my body...and my spirit and my self esteem etc....
Thank you so very much for your support through this...I quite literally would not be as successful without your support. I struggled for a few months, but am back on board (have lost the majority of the 15 I packed on while recuperating from a different surgery in July!!!) As an FYI...I am 1 year 4months post op...
The first picture was taken in April 07...3 months before my surgery!
THAT NORMAL LOOKING WOMAN IS ME!!!!!!
Holy crap!

Allright, I'm finally in the 2's so I figured I would post some before and during pics.
The first two are before, then in May. The last (with the white shirt) is this week... I'm 299!
Thanks everyone for posting and keeping me motivated!

I am halfway to goal. The befores were taken in June, the "durings" were taken last night.
Here I tried to find the same outfit as my before pic. I didn't find the exact jeans, but they are the same size and brand as my before pic. |

Hi all,
It's my Bandiversary today, so here are my before and after images. I'm feeling very proud of myself, but I couldn't have done this without the support of my family, friends and health professionals.
