Before and NOW pics-- add yours! (PICS!) X-post
Wherever you are in your journey-- we have a lot of noobs these days-- let's show them where we came from and an idea of where they're headed!
First- my head, before and after-- sans makeup (under eye bags photoshopped out because I am vain as hell):

Me, before-- I was 368 pounds the day of my consult:


I was 300 pounds the day of surgery (lost 68 pounds in 4 months pre-op):


I weighed 227.8 at six months post op (Down 140.2 from consult, and 72.2 from RNY surgery date):


I was 173.8 one year after my RNY (down 194.2 from consult and 126.2 from RNY surgery date):


And today-- it's October, and I am wearing clothes-- actually the pic's about 5 pounds old, but today I weigh 161--- down 207 from my consult and 139 from my RNY surgery day:

Hi Everyone,
I used to post here quite frequently but am now mainly a lurker, but I would like to share some pictures of my journey up to this point. Sorry... I am too lazy to do side by sides.
This is me and my niece; I'm going to say it was 1994. It's not my heaviest, but it was the best shot I had of myself when I got way up there (333 was my highest... RNY on May 31, 2005).

This is 2006 when I am about my lowest (149)

My daughter Charlotte was born 18 days after this picture was taken (January 9, 2008). I gained a whopping 75 pounds with this, my first, pregnancy. (I retouched the photo only to make my top a little less revealing!)

And here we are in September of this year. I still have about 20-25 pounds I'd like to lose; 25 would put me lower than my lowest weight.

She is my blessing (along with my husband). Neither of them would have happened if not for WLS. Not saying he wouldn't have had the obese me, but I would never have gone looking. Miracles can happen!
Take Care,
Tanja
