I can't believe it, I am now 398 lbs!

I started my pre-op diet last Dec. 26 at 471 lbs, got banded Jan. 11, and since then i have lost 73 lbs.

I definitely feel the change. I'm now wearing a completely different set of clothes as compared to what I was wearing last January. Good thing I didn't throw away all my old clothes. I'm now wearing shirts and pants which I last wore 9 years ago. From wearing 6XL shirts, I now wear 4XL.

Here are my progress pix so far:

I've got a looooong way to go, but I'm very happy with what I have accomplished so far.

WOW, great job.

congrats!!!! what a change!! losing 2 shirt sizes in a few months is quite an accomplishment! well done! :biggrin:

The pix show a big change...congrats!

Congrats!!

That is awesome!

look at you! WOW - congratulations! Keep up the awesome job!

It sure is working for you!

Hey you are doing AWESOME! I have lost 76.5 lbs but it has taken me 7 mos! I weighed 270 to start or so and now 194, but hey I can relate to getting under the 200 mark, it felt so good! Got 30 lbs more to go to goal, but the lbs are going off slower now. My body thinks it is going to be sick I guess! LOL I am down from a 24 W to a 14 and some 12's so I am a Happy Bandster now!

Great job!!
