I thought I would share this. I took a new "bathroom" photo at work and decided to compare it to a photo of me when I was 12 days post op. I had lost 17lbs in those first 12 days. It's amazing how big I really was. The sad thing is if I look at the "before" pic on Facebook I have 29 comments saying how GOOD I looked lol. So crazy to see how much I've changed!

Thanks for posting, your look awesome! Love the shoes too. It'll be nice when I can get to a point where I can wear those type of shoes again.

Great motivational post, the visual always shows us what potential one can have. If you dont' mind me asking, how much is your total loss now?

Thank you so much! I am a photographer so I know no other way to show my journey but though photos! Everyone says my pictures help them stay motivated so I try to share as many as I can!

I have gone from 311lbs to 147lbs! So I have lost 164lbs all together. It is totally unreal for me to weigh 147lbs!!! I must have weighed 147lbs in like 4th grade!!! I know that I weighed around 170lbs in 6th grade and I graduated high school weighing 255lbs so this is so crazy to me! I LOVE my RNY! It truly is a blessing.
