I'm going to try this posting. This was the night before my surgery, May 1. The other one was taken Nov. 28, with my daughter: whose due in May and my husband Ernie.

Not sure I did this correctly, but I'll try! First pic was taken in January 2002 (I didn't allow pictures at my highest weight when I was sober!) at about 310 pounds. The second was taken in August, at about 240, though I've lost more since then.

I'm down a little over 60 lbs now. I had to get half of my fill taken out (no big emergency) just had a bad sensitivity to it and my doctor wanted to take caution so he gave me a break for a few weeks. Anyway, here is a before and after headshot so far. Obviously the one on the left is me 2 weeks before my surgery. And the one on the right was taken last week.

I haven't lost anything since my last photos were posted, but as I'm coming up on my 1 year bandiversary I thought I'd post some new comparisons. I hope you enjoy!

This first picture is from Christmas 2006... it was when I saw this that I knew I had to do something more drastic than Weight Watchers.

This picture is from October 2007. I was pre-op at this time and weighed in at 282 pounds.

This is me last weekend... Christmas 2008. 85 pounds lost in 11.5 months. My bandiversary is December 18. I am wearing a size 14 jean in this picture, I was in a 24/26 last year. I feel like a new woman! I can't wait to see where year two takes me on this journey.

Good luck to the rest of you! May the new year continue to bring us many healthy blessings!

I hit my 100 pound mark yesterday, so I figured I'd post some updated pics. Before is 303 and now is 203. Also a recent favorite of me and my hubby.

Ok I cant believe I am about to post this pic. I saw it today and it made me cry, I didn't realize how huge I was! I was tagged in this pic and always tried not to look at it until today! I asked my mom why she never told me how big I was, she said "because I love you and knew you would be hurt if I were to be honest with you"...oh well here it goes. I was banded on October 8, 2008 and so far down almost 70 pounds. The latest pic was taken on xmas 2008 and the other summer 08. ugh I hate that summer picture.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
