I thought this might be helpful for others. I am actually starting to show some progress, even though I still weigh 319 pounds (I am down 120!) . . . for those who started 400 plus, I thought this might be helpful. The newer photos are 2 weeks ago, I am now 8 weeks post-op.

I have gone down 4 shirt sizes to a 3x and 3 pants sizes.

Sorry I didn't get them to just show up. My browser security settings seem to block that.

No reason to use up your bravery juice for those pics! They look FABULOUS!!!!!! You can soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tell a difference. Being someone who started out in the 400's - I can appreciate this and use it as even more motivation for myself. Way to go! Thanks for sharing.
