I am at about the same spot as you. My problem right now is some major stress in my life. I am hoping when things calm down a bit that I will start losing again. But I did kick up the workouts for a bit, well STARTED working out. Good luck at your workout plans too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

malissa 0 Posted June 20, 2009 Thanks guys. I can't wait until I get to the 100lb mark loss. My tentative goal is by Thanksgiving. Regardless, even if I don't - I FEEL so much better and I still have over 100lbs to lose. It saddens me to think how many years I've wasted. My only regrets were waiting so long to get the band. Have a great weekend! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crc38 0 Posted June 26, 2009 So, here are a few. August 2008 - Right before I decided that I wanted to pursue surgery. (In Central Park.) I saw these pictures and it just confirmed everything - I looked terrible and felt terrible. I could barely make it through the day in NYC doing tourist stuff. February 2009 - A week before surgery - 10lbs down on Pre-op diet. (At Franklin Institute.) 5/09 - 3 months post-op and 34lbs lost! (At my Uncle's wedding.) Notice - NO STOMACH ROLE! Highlight of my life! 6/09 - 4 months post-op and 37lbs lost! (In Chicago.) Now, when doing tourist stuff, I feel great. I can keep going. I'm not tired and my feet don't hurt. Unlike the first photo, I felt wonderful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teachermommy832 0 Posted June 29, 2009 Hi everyone! I'm 2 weeks post-op, and I wanted to share a few of my before/during pics. The 1st one is from about a month before surgery; the 2nd one is 1 week post-op. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LoveIslovely 0 Posted June 29, 2009 (edited) boy oh boy, I cant believe my behind is about to post this face pic. I tell you I cried as I uploaded this pic. Well the first face pic was me in the summer of 2008, i took it as a before pic to remind me at how I eat my soul away(I used to be slim, however, life stressors led me to the wonderful world of the wizard of food) at 290 pounds and a pic I took a few weeks ago at 175 pounds. Is a drastic drastic change. I also added a few other pics I took from may 2009 until June 2009 as slimmed my way down to the mid 170s :thumbdown: One thing I miss about my pre surgery days is my dominican/puerto rican food, howeevr as good as it is Latin cuisine requires a lot of rice eating, I cant eat rice to save my life! it gets stuck, so I dont eat it!

janesays 2 Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) loveislovely, you look freaking amazing! love your sense of style, too. k, i just posted this pic in the main pics thread, but figured i should add it here too since people my age would probably be more interested. there are more pics i just added in a private album on my profile (add me as a friend if you want to see them) hate this before pic, but its a good reminder of where i came from and why i am NEVER going back! this current pic i took tonight after a workout.
