The Improved Me

I just wanted to share my progress photos. I am excited about this journey. When I started this journey in May 2010, I weighed in at 220 lbs. This was my highest weight ever, even after my pregnancies. I had my RNY on Feb 15, 2011 and I weighed 194 lbs. At 3 months out I am down to 151 lbs. I ONLY have 26 lbs to go to hit my personal goal. My surgeon did not set a goal for me, but at my appointment last week with her she was very pleased with my progress. In seeing these pictures I see the change, but I still don't see it when I look at myself in the mirror. I know that my mind will catch up with my body eventually. I just hope it's soon. Thank you everyone for the great posts and advice that I have received so far to date. Since my schedule does not allow me to attend the local support group meetings, I use OH to help me thru this journey.

Highest Weight - 220/ Date of Surgery - 194/ Goal Weight - 125 CW 122 2nd Goal - 115

You look wonderful! I love seeing the health and vitality that seems to shine out of the "during" or "after" shots!

You look wonderful. 220 was also my highest. I am now lower than I have been in at least 25 yrs. Keep riding that pony lady and you will get there.

No doubt about your progress-- looks great. Wow when people say they started at 220 I feel like a real fatty. LOL I am celbrating being under 210...but then again I am on the taller side (about 5'8). Keep working that tool and you'll be at goal soon.
