Before and after photos....



Recommended Posts

I still have another 30-35 pounds to lose, but it's my most recent "before and after"

228 pounds lost (so far). The before pic was the day of my surgery 20 months ago. The after pic is my daughter and I both in the pants from the before pic.

That is AMAZING!!! You are such an inspiration!! How fast did your weight come off in the beginning? I am losing but some days I get discouraged and just want to cry. It's almost like I feel like i will be stuck at 190 for ever. But seeing before and after pictures like yours really helps motivate me and gives me hope and encouragement! :-) maybe one day i will be able to post some good before/after photos!

At the beginning it came off really fast- but when you're starting over 400 pounds the weight does come off a lot faster.

Now that I'm down into the 100's, I'm lucky to lose 5-8 pounds a month.

Don't ever give up. It just takes a lot longer the smaller you get.

I'm barely in the 100's but it is a good feeling, almost a relief! I have to keep reminding myself of how far I've come & not how much longer i have to go because I get frustrated! But I'm going to just keep swimming lol

How long do you have to go? The rest of your life, it's your journey, not a destination.

Trying to enjoy the journey, and not become stuck, that's my goal. The people here are here whenever I need to push past or be inspired. Grateful .

Yay for you! I can't wait to be in the 100s. I've got 20 pounds to go - but closer than I was 3 weeks ago when I had surgery weighing in at 240.

Missy - you look so good! That's how you can tell that this is hard work and you've done so good! And your daughter is a cutey pie ;)

Congrats to everyone ;)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
