Stupid Question...

When I originally started my WLS journey I weighed 297 pounds at 5' tall.  I did lose weight with my lap band before I had to have it removed.  The morning of my revision to RNY I weighed 237 pounds.  What should I think of as my starting weight?  Do I keep the same really fat pictures as my before pictures or should I pick one at 237? Thanks so much for your opinions...

Marcia,
I'd use the same pics as before.  After all, it's all part of the same journey!

I would use your pics at the start of this journey with Lap band.
You lost your first weight with that and this second is just a continuation of that same journey.
You look great - keep it up.

Hi Marcia

If I were you I'd keep your original pictures from the beginning of your journey.  It's all the same journey.

Hey Marcia, I'm with the group.  Your journey started with one tool, and is ending with another, but same journey.  Walk proud, lady!!

Hiya Marcia, I concur with Donna. It is all the same journey, I lost 24 pounds in 2 weeks prior to surgery, under my surgeons diet,so my liver would shrink, and I would not have to be cut open, I count it.
