Thought I would make the pics smaller!

The first pic was taken about 2 months after the band and the second was taken last weekend at our senior medical school banquet! I am down 130lbs!!! I had more fun picking out that dress than I had picking out my high school senior prom dress. It is the smallest size I have worn since I was like 3 yrs old!!!

Hi everyone,

I am attaching my pics as I said I would once I got below 259. My weight today was 255.6 pounds and I took the pictures today. My before pics were at the weight just before surgery at 283.

I can only hope my pictures will bring just as much inspiration as all the other posters before me have done for me. I do still have a long way to go, in fact nearly another 100 pounds, but NOTHING is going to stop me from reaching my goal! Keep up the good work everybody!

I especially just would like to show a difference in my face. Wow! Of course in the first picture I'm not smiling and I have no makeup on. Sorry about that! :)

I keep trying to find some pics of me at my high of 330. I'm really going to have to hunt for it....

You all look so amazing. I posted my puictures on the Feb board but I'll put them here too. The first picture was taken in November just as I was beginning my journey (weight 289) The second picture was taken on my 2 month band anniversary (weight 241):biggrin2:

Well here's my 1 year pics, I'm not exactly where I had hoped I would be by now (I was hoping to be at or closer to 100lbs lost) but a lot of that is because of me not eating and definitely not exercising like I should be...been really hard when you work evening/overnight hours plus overtime.

I was losing at a steady rate, but these last 30-35 lbs have been the hardest to lose..so hopefully the next pic I get a chance to post is me making goal.

Here is me just before surgery and a second pic of me (looking not so hot with no brush and no make up @ camping HAHAHA) almost a year ago. I am down about another 10 since that second pic but don't have a recent full length pic, but i look very close to this still :rolleyes:

I am 11 months out from my surgery. Went to a friend's wedding this past Friday and wore a dress I would have never looked at this time last year. I have lost 75lbs in 11 months.

First pic, my daughter's b-day party. Size 24--notice the grass skirt doesn't even fit all the way around me. (Pardon the stupid face....I didn't want my pic taken!!) Second pic, leaving for a friends wedding--size 12 dress!

Here is a pic of my husband and I, the first pic of us together in awhile since I tend to hide from the camera at parties!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
