Still a long way to go before AFTER pictures for me, but this is DURING!

Here's me before & again at 4 months post-op, down 50 pounds.

Expect another set when (not if) I loose another 50!

Here are my "in progress" pics. I still have so much more to lose. Down 50 pounds since Jan 31st. Now I wish I would have smiled in my before pic..LOL!! And ok..I'll admit it!! That spot on my jeans is from the popcorn I had at the movies..I couldn't help it! :o I just didn't realize until after the pic was taken that it was still there. Woops!!

I haven't posted in a while but here is my most recent pic, and one I took before surgery. I started at 238, and a size 18. I now (depending on boob and butt size) go between an 6 and an 8, have run my first marathon and continue to love Protein Shakes as much as I did when I started. Cheers - Gyps

I know this is a before and after pic but I justwanted to post this as kinda a backwards B&A This was me when I was about 270 and my wife back in '03. I really want to get back down to this. I lost all my weight on Atkins and gained it all plus some in under 4 years.

I can see a little difference in my pics. I don't have one at my highest of 389lbs but I do have this one the night before the operation and a pic from the other day. I have lost a couple more since this already.

First 2 pics were taken two days after surgery and the last two were taken 6 months later (i.e. today). I'm down 55 lbs and have 45 more to go.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
