Before & During photos....

Well, here is a link to some before & during pictures I took. I am thinking I was over 325 in the before picture, but I didn't document anything. I know I gained a little after the holidays, so it's quite likely I was over 330 - maybe even 335. Anyway, you can see some deflation going on, even though it's not dramatic. http://www.javajabbers.com/oh/beforeduring2.jpg Dina

DIna -- you look great! You can SO see the difference, especially in your face! Keep up the great work!

You can definitely see the difference, like another said, especially in the face. Great job! -Donna

YUP - you be shrinkin! Can see it in the face, and in the side profile the most. Also there's more of a smile on that there post-op photo Great work - keep it up! mgm -31

OK Here is the first thing I noticed (I notice this first because I noticed it on me first too) Your cheekbones are way more defined now. You are such a perty lady. I can also see in your waste area..You are lookin grand my dear Beth

WOW!!! The Incredible Shrinking Woman! You have 'apple-y' cheek bones now, not fat but proud to be there and yer tummy is ABSOLUTELY goin' bye bye! I wonder if I look that different. My hubby and I have the same PCP and yesterday when we were there for him the doc looked at me (down 29.5# mind you) and asked "Have you had your surgery yet Honey?" I could have strangled him with his tie!But I guess since he doesn't see me all the time I'll let him slide. Gayle

Your doing wonderful Dina, keep up the great work! dont you wish we all had a time machine??? I would fast forward mine to March 2005!!! hahaha hugz Mary

Dina, YOU ARE DOING GREAT!!! What a difference! I can see it so much in your face and side profile, plus you just have more color and look happier. I hope my pictures would look that different, only problem is I totally avoided a camera as much as possible the last 6 months before surgery. I had my 7 weeks post op today and I was down 45lbs. Although I feel it in my clothes and know that I am smaller, I dont feel it in my head or when I look in the mirror. It takes time for the mind to catch up. Hubby says I feel differnt when he hugs me, he says its like getting a whole new woman, what will he think with the next 45 lbs? Keep it coming off!!!! Janelle

Well I think your tummy has gone down a lot too. Good for you keep it up you are looking great... Sarah T

You look great! You have lost all over, shows in the face, neck and butt. I bet your measuring tape tells the story clearly! Just think, what the next months will bring! Joy -31 lbs
