Today is my 1-yr bandiversary.  I am now done with the weight loss phase and moving into maintenance mode.  I have lost 80.5 lbs and 34.25".  In honor of this great occasion, I want to show you the most unflattering pre-op photo of me I could find.  I was at my highest weight when it was taken:


And here I am at 12-mos post-op (sorry for the fuzzy photos, but you get the idea):


For those of you just starting your WLS journey: if I can do it, so can you!

Happy Bandiversary to YOU!  Wow Jean, you look great now.  (That before pic almost scared me...lol)  You look so much healthier and happy now.  I've told you before and I'll tell you again, you have been a rock throughout your weight loss surgery.  It seems you band agrees with you very well indeed! 

 A little happy dancing for you!!!!!!!!!!!
