Yay! 10 pounds left to go! I suspect I already have that much in loose skin, but I'll take it over my pre-op weight any day!
I need to get off my arse and get another round of labs done. Been procrastinating because of a bronchial virus.

Congrats! I am inching ever closer to goal myself. I just paid homage to the blood Gods this morning....15 tubes worth! You're doing great, too! So far all the vets were right about the last few pounds being the slowest/toughest but when you look back at your pre-op weight it is so encouraging ;D YEah 15 tubes isn't fun. I always feel a little woozy at the end of it, even if I drink water. |

Congrats!! I hear you on the labs, got 12 vials pulled, they called me a day ago to let me know.. they need two more! Doh! Well, at least that gives you a day or two to regenerate some blood before you have to go back. When they take more than 8 vials I always get a little weak and light-headed, and since I'm shaking off the tail end of a virus I don't know how well I'd deal with a blood-letting right now. On the bright side most of the nurses/docs/pcps at the practice I go to are very good at finding the vein on the first try. |

Thanks everyone! This is the smallest I've been in my entire life. Sadly I did not take "before" pictures because I was a dumbass. After years of avoiding cameras like the plague, I had the same attitude pre-op. I didn't want to look back, I just wanted to heal up after surgery and get on with my life. Now I regret not having pictures to compare the progression over the months... HOWEVER, I dug up some pictures of when I was 260-270-ish many years ago- hopefully these images are enough to come close to a before/after, even though I was 37 pounds HEAVIER than this picture pre-op (pre-op weight 297). This photo was taken when I was 1 year into a 1200 cal/day diet, going gym 6 hours a week, and was able to bench press my husband (the experience nearly scared him to death). While I was ripped under all that fat, it didn't matter because I was still SMO no matter how much I exercised or dieted.  This is me on my first surgiversary (a month and a half ago, roughly 5lbs heavier than my current weight). My surgery date is also my wedding anniversary, and hubs and I went to Vegas to celebrate. Here's me in a dress before heading out to dinner:  Note the batwings I put on a shrug to hide them, I wouldn't want to frighten the casino patrons. |
