Before, During & After - Let's Share Pictures

We haven't done this in a while and I know I can use some encouragement this time of the year.  Sometimes we need to stop and think about where we came from, where we are, and where we want to be.  This is the best place to stay connected even when it gets tougher.

Even if you aren't through with your weight loss, share some pictures with us. If you need help posting, let one of us know.

Before, around 248.5 the night before my son's wedding. How I wish I could cut myself out of his wedding pictures and put the new me there!!


After, this morning 127 pounds.  DH couldn't seem to be able to take a clear picture!!


Ok, can't wait to see everyone's picture!!

The first picture was right before my first WLS in 2002.  The after was in Sept.  I am at the point where I hate having my picture taken again.

I am sorry you are having such a hard time right now.  I sure hope the doctor can get you back to feeling better.  Is there a reason they won't atleast try the medicine that Gina has suggested?
Good luck.  Thinking about you and I hope one day soon you will love having your picture made again.  I appreciate you sharing your story with all of us.

The best I could figure is that they feel that it would help you absorb fats and protein more and they felt my problem was that I wasn't eating enough, not that I wasn't absorbing enough of what I was eating.  That is why I have been working so hard to increase my calories.  

It looks like you have really increased what you are eating and still losing weight.  I know you have really tried to increase your calories without staying sick all the time.
Hope you can find some kind of resolution.
Thinking about you.

Before, at my neice's wedding in Feb before my surgery in Sept 10.
