Gina..RNY.. 4-22-02....-170lbs

Okay, my highest weight of about 250 lbs back in 2002:

The spring I decided to get WLS...weighed about 208/210: Top about a 2x, pants should have been 18W's but I poured myself into 16W's

This one was at one year (weight, about 140)

And this was taken this summer.(about 18 months out) I weigh about what I weigh now, 130/131

The shorts I have on are biking shorts and are a SMALL, top is also a SMALL. Ignore the face I am making at myself, LOL Getting one with me smiling apparently wasn't gonna happen.

I'm coming up on 2 years...and will get another one then.

LIZ..girl..you are TINY !!!!! I notice you have cane in one of the pics. Did you lose the cane when you lost the weight?

You look beautiful in all the pics, but you look HEALTHIER now-and YOUNGER now-funny how that happens-huh?

Thanks for sharing your pics

Thanks, Gina...funny thing, I still don't FEEL tiny!

I still have the cane but only use it once in awhile. I deal with sensory/motot/ and autonomic peripheral nueropathy due to diabetes. I've had my blood sugars under great control and so it is getting better.

But at one point, I was actually using a wheelchair (that was long before my back surgery).

17 months since my revision, at goal for almost a year! 170 lbs lost, from a size 30/5x  to a 4/6 and a xs/s.......

And again just a few days ago at 145 lbs, in a size 4 -

COURTNEY-pure AWE-SOME-NESS !!!

You look like you could be your own daughter

Thank you so much! The important thing, I can KEEP up with my daughter (and three sons LOL) now, I love the new me!

Such an awesome transformation!

Thanks, its been an amazing year!

Wow that is really inspirational!  Thanks you guys.  I'm just starting the pre-op liquid diet.  My husband warned me he would be taking pictures tonight.  For so long I've always taken the pictures....so I wouldn't be in them.  I didn't realize how much I avoided cameras until I tried to find some "pre- pics" and I couldn't hardly find any.  I think even now in the back of my mind I don't really believe I'll get to were I really want to be.  I keep telling myself to be "realistic" and don't get my hopes up too high, but these pics really make me believe.

Thanks!
