4 Months & 75 pounds...Pics



Recommended Posts

Okay so I am going to give this a go. I know the scale has gone down 75 lbs., and I started out in a TIGHT size 32 & am now comfortably a size 24, and have had many other NSV over the past 4 months. I still don't see it. Someone recommended that I look at side by side pictures so here we go. 3 pictures are me at my highest weight of 418. One is 2 Easter's ago at an Easter Egg hunt with my boyfriend, nieces and nephew. 2 are from this August at Niagara Falls and in my sister's wedding. I was still ate 418 for those. My VSG was on 11/27. I'm not sure how these pictures are going to upload so the pic of me in the black & pink flower dress is from today. My boyfriend's 2 year old niece told me that I looked like a ballerina. LOL. Idk about all that, but hoping that I'll see a difference posting them together.

Okay, so maybe there is a LITTLE difference now that I see them together & in sequence lol. I see it in my face & legs & some in the stomach & chest area. :) Looking forward to seeing what pics are like when I am at a healthy weight. I don't know how to put the pics side by side. If anyone can tell me I would really appreciate it!

Way to go deedee!!!

Look at how far you've come!

You know, Laura, it's just crazy. I honestly don't see a difference when I look in the mirror, but the picture from 2 years ago Easter & then today are so different, My face was SO bloated looking. It was after an Easter egg hunt & I was helping one of the nieces in her age group. I was exhausted after half an hour. Just last week I was pushing a wheel barrow around the property where I live...filling it up with fire wood & hauling & stacking it. I never could have done that 4 months ago. It was hard even getting off my couch then!

We are all a little nervous in the beginning. In the first few weeks following surgery you will have a ton of questions & this website is a great tool for answers, encouragement & inspiration. I can't think of a better gift to yourself for your birthday than the gift of good health & a longer life. I wish you all the best & keep us updated! :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
