Okay, I finally did my full body before and after

I decided to go on and do before and 'after thus far' pics with my sports bra and boy short undies. I posted them at the very bottom of my profile. I also put up pics of my tats. I gotta say, I really didn't realize just how big a difference 90 lbs makes until I put those pics up tonight. I'm in awe of the changes! Anyways, for anyone that hasn't done some shots of themselves lately for comparison, DO IT! The changes are really awesome!

HI Connie, We are surgery sisters We had our surgery the same day. Your pics are great. You look wonderful. You must feel amazing. I know I do. I tried to post a new pic of myself but it showed up all blurry. I gotta figure out what to do about that I love the tats, and I bet you love showing them off now lol Take care Keep up the good work(the stalls are deadly aren't they, but oh well it will come off) Joyce RNY Aug 1/05 356/266/?/160-180

Thank you Joyce! I was nervous about putting up the pics! I was amazed tho, once I had then posted and could see then side by side. The tat on my butt, that one I wasn't sure about putting up. Don't want to offend anyone by having my rear end hanging out! But, everything important is covered so I figured, what the heck. I hope you get your new pic to work soon! I wanna see the new you!! Hugs, Connie

What a difference! You look awesome! You are so close to your goal weight, keep up the good work! Clarissa 346/228/150

Thank you Clarissa! I feel 100% better! I don't think I ever really saw myself as being the size I was, and now that I can see the difference, it just shocks me. I'm so grateful for this surgery and the chance to really live again. Hugs, Connie

Connie, You look wonderful... I was afraid at first to put my before/now pics on my profile too, but once you look and see the difference...you just want to share it with everyone. Great Job... Love the tattoos too... Tammy

Yep, I don't think I could have faced putting my before pics up without some after pics to show I don't look that way anymore. Thanks for the compliments Tammy! Hugs~ Connie

Hi Connie, OMG, what a difference! You look fabulous. We are both 7 months post-op and your doing great. It looks like you have 16 pounds to go to surgeons goal and 29 to you own personal goal. I am praying that the stall breaks for you soon and that the next months will see you reach one or both goals. How exciting that is going to be!! Blessings, Lori 293/216.8/135 (my goal)/130 (surgeon's goal)

Thank you Lori! You are doing great too! Onederland is just around the corner for you! I remember when my surgeon said he felt I could reasonably expect to get down to 163, I was like yeah right! I was 170 at my smallest in my late teens, and figured going to my first consult if I could get to 185 it'd be worth having the surgery. I never expected to get down to where I am even. So, now I feel like my pipe dream of 150 (which is what I was in 9th grade) might actually come true. Might take months, but it sure wouldn't have happened otherwise! Well worth the wait. My stall may be over, I did get on the scale today to a 1 lb loss. Woohoo! Hugs ~ Connie 269/178/163 surgeon's goal/150 my goal

Hi Connie, You're looking great! Love the tattoos. I got my first one in Feb. and I'm planning my 2nd and 3rd. A new addiction to go with the new body. Keep it up. Dawn 258/144/135
