Is anyone seeing the photo or is it just me and my adblockers that's keeping it from showing?

Sorry bout the tease if no one else can see it either.  Trying to fix it.

I see a big box with a red X in it.

I couldn't reply to that one, either, for some reason.

Thanks.  I tried editing and now even the little computer image (what I got instead of a box with an x) is gone.

Followed the instructions on how to post a pic.  Still no go.

Shot an email off to OH requesting help.  

Again, apologies.

Try saving to your profile and then pasting from there to here. Or go through a site like Photobucket.

Highest 290, Banded - 248   Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.

Happily banded since May 2006.  Regain of 28lbs 2013-14.  ALL GONE!

But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,

I did put the pic in my profile area.. and it's open to everyone.  :(   I followed the same process I did a few months ago when it worked.. LOL.

I may try photobucket later.  I've done enough computering for now.. need to take a break.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Is this the one you wanted to post? I open OH twice, one open to your photo's, the other open to the forum.  Then I copy the picture into the post.

Great pictures BTW!  You are our super star!!!

Sorry if I chose the wrong picture to post but these were your most recent.

Best~

That's it.  THANKS!!

I did those same things too..   no idea why it wouldn't work for me.

oh well, such is the internet.


Stats.  The black pants/top are/were my "uniform" back in the day, I had two sets of that outfit, same size, same color.  Was a 5X from Silhouettes I believe.   They are what I wore for my preop photos.

The gray outfit on the right (scroll over) is what I wore last night (8-6-11) to go on a casual date with my DH.

I was 385 @ seminar, 383 day of surgery, no preop diet required.  I'm now somewhere between 165 & 170, depending on time of day, sodium consumption, what I've eaten, if I worked out, etc.

I'm still a little bigger in the hips than I'd like, but as my whole family is pear shaped, I'm not likely to get much different in proportion w/o plastics.  Which I am considering.   If I never lose another lb, I'm very pleased with my results.  I am still losing, but very slowly now... which is OK.  I'm not having to buy new clothes nearly as often.  Currently wearing 14 to 16, L to XL.. depending on maker, style, etc.

And this is wild.. my sister, who's always been smaller than me.. just sent me some of her clothes that don't fit her right and she doesn't want to take the time to alter.. and they fit (one pair of pants is too large!!). 

Thanks again, Lisa O., for your help.
