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.

      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
