A Year After Plastics, Down 100 Total!
Sorry I forget to post here - but at least (roughly) annually I ought to show you where I'm at! So, now I do lots of yoga, and am holding at a pretty good weight. Still have a few stubborn pounds, but I feel (an am) stronger than ever!


December 22: Down 96 lbs - Post Plastics
Ok, so 13 of the 96 I can't take credit for - my plastic surgeon gets all the props for those! Either way, I'm weighing about 166 in these photos, with 11 pounds to go until my ultimate goal of 155.

11 Months - Down 79.1 Pounds
You can click on any of these to enlarge them, fyi. I honestly don't see a big difference in clothes since last time, but I can definitely feel my body shifting a bit. I'm moving right along - hoping to get to -85 by the one year mark. I'm happy with my progress and am right on schedule for a lap-bander...sometimes I regret the little 'breaks' I've taken in that I could be farther along...but I also know those breaks gave me the energy to get moving again. Anyhow, enjoy!
p.s. Poor posture on the side angle this time. Shame on me! I'll stand up straight next month...



10 months - Down 73.5 lbs.
Here I am! I went to the doctor's office to weigh in at 188.5 - I've adjusted my total to reflect a start weight of 262, because my surgeon actually had that down as my start (I had 258), so there's an 'artificial' 4 pounds included here. Anyhow, you can click on any of these to enlarge.33.5 pounds to go! Yay!




8.5 Months - Down 62 Pounds!
I had my 8.5 month appointment this week and got a fill. I'm at 2.1 cc's. While I've obviously slowed down, other lapbanders should not be discouraged by this! I am happy that I'm still going in the right direction - my body needed to catch up a little and though it's only been 5 pounds since last time, I see a difference! You can click on any of these to see it bigger, and I added plain 'ole before and afters at the bottom as a lil' bonus :) 




Five Months Post-Op - Down 57 Pounds!
Well, surprise surprise, I can't really see a difference, but I say that every month. You be the judge... Either way, I'm down to 201 now! Two pounds to Onederland and 46 pounds to go to goal.
As usual, click on the image to enlarge it! And as usual again, the naked photos show way more of a difference than the clothed ones...


Four Months Post-Op - Down 47 Pounds
You can click on any of these to enlarge them. I can't see much of a change from last time, but I know it is moving along from somewhere! There were some changes that were more apparent sans the clothing.
