Before and After pictures...



Recommended Posts

I am currently waiting to have surgery and started this journey at 273 pounds. I have lost 32 on my own and am currently at 241. I am wondering if people who have lost the weight have lost all over? I know it will be specific for every body type but I am so curious to see what it could be like for me! Anyone out they'd start around 275 and have before/after pictures to share? If not...no worries!

I'm not ready to share photos yet. I had RNY July 8, 2014 so 2 months today. I've lost 53 pounds and 60 inches total from my whole body. Just to let you know. Good luck,

I'm 5 foot 6, and started at 252. I'm at 185 now.

Here's my thread where I shared my most recent pictures. http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/319003-6-month-pictures/

I'm not quite ready for the after pictures yet either (I will when I hit my goal in 6 pounds), however I started off MUCH larger.

As for the loss though, at least for me it has really been a gradual losing process all over. At first it was arms and legs. Then it was my butt and my stomach has been the last area to really start shrinking. Of course all of the extra skin doesn't help things, but hopefully that will somewhat tighten up over time.

      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.
