Update - With Pic

I have been doing really well since surgery. Almost daily, I'm amazed at how relatively simple this has been and the ways my life has changed. From small things like crossing my legs, buying a dress in a "regular" store, to bigger things like being healthier... it's been great thus far. I can't wait to see where this journey continues to take me!

On to the pics... I was convinced preop that people who couldn't "see" their own weight loss were a bit nuts. However, I attended a work event this week and had a photo taken. I must say the difference between the two photos blows me away. Guess we're all trying to play catch up between our brains and bodies! Pics are from my highest weight (when I started my preop 6 month diet) and this week's banquet. The second pic is a bit grainy, as it was taken with a cell phone.

Enjoy!

Best of luck to you! The best advice I can give you is to start now developing good habits and implementing the lifestyle you will have post-op. I truly think it made my transition much easier to be successful thus far.

You CAN do this!

Way to Go! Keep up the good work! You can definitely see the changes in your face and neck....
Yes, it all happens so quickly....all these changes....sometimes we can take it for granted, the simple things like crossing our legs!

I can relate to not seeing weight loss. I cannot tell a difference in my mirror! People are constantly commenting on my weight loss.

Well, you look awesome!! You look like a different person. Kudos to you!

I met my initial goal of 160!

Thank you so much. I feel so much better, it's almost hard to imagine! I can walk further, exercise regularly, take stairs pretty easily... and the list goes on!
