Everyone is looking GORGEOUS!!! Well done!:clap2:

Time to update again. I had my band on Jan 31 this year, & I've taken pics every 2 months. I've lost 99lb now (45kg), & am aiming to lose another 33 (15kg)

The first pic is me 05-07-07 and the second one is me 09-27-07 ... I am finally beginning to notice the diff in pics which is funny because I started at a 22 and am a 10-12 now!

Within the last two weeks:

I'm getting kind of annoyed at the fact that I'm losing weight so slow, but it is coming off. Arg.

Sorry about the huge pictures!

Enjoy!

Before, I am the one on the right, after is a silly pic I took in front of a mirror the other day with my camera phone.

Well, the pink shirt, is me last christmas, in all of my 284 pounds of glory...

The blue shirt is surgery morning...oooo I was looking mighty fine that morning! :car:

The green shirt was yesterday...and yes, I was annoyed when the pic was taken...hence the "take the darn pic already" look :car:

Thought I would share my 8 months pic comparison. The first pic was taken the night before surgery, the 2nd pic was taken on 8/7 on our family vacation. I am amazed at how different my face looks.

Ok....I just had surgery August 20th so it is too early to post anything but a head shot but I think there is a difference in my face so far. The first pic was from December 2006 before any pre-dieting or anything. The second pic was taken a few weeks ago. I am down a total of 35lbs so far.....

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
