Sorry it took so long to get pictures up. I've just been mad busy. I still have a long way to go and as you can see I still don't like "full" body shots. I went for my 3 month follow-up and it's been 77 pounds so far. (and yes, looking back at the pictures now, I do miss my longer hair) :( I hope I uploaded the pictures correctly....

The 3rd picture is the current one.

OH MY GOD:D !!! You look GREAT:yay: :yay: :yay: ! Keep it up sweetie:thumbsup: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :hifive: :hifive: I too have been trying to take off the pounds but it seems like im gaining instead:( Whats your secret???:confused:

Sorry, I should have mentioned it in this post. I had gastric bypass surgery on June 7th of this year. Almost 17 weeks ago. You don't have to tell me about clothes shopping. When I bought the outfit in the first picture I wanted to cry. I had originally ordered a dress for the wedding I was at and when I got it, it didn't fit. :angry: It was too late to exchange it via mail so I shopped EVERYWHERE. The only place that had something large enough to fit me (30/32) was a place called the "Avenue". I hated EVERYTHING I tried on. I went to other places but it just depressed me even more. Eventually in the end I just bought whatever I could find that fit decently. I'm down to a loose 22/24 now and have a long way to go yet.

I've considered that, Jenuwine. I'm right on the edge of qualifying, weight-wise. I've set up so many appointments for consultations but have continuously backed out. Any regrets? Has it been everything you've hoped for?

The only regret I have is not getting it done sooner. I finally have that "full" feeling which I never had before. I never felt full before unless I ate so much I was hurting afterwards. It has helped me in more ways than one without a weight problem could ever imagine.

Good for you! If you don't mind me asking, was it done laproscopically? Were you off work for long?

Yes it was laproscopically. I have 4 small incisions 1/2 inch or less and one incision about 1 1/2 inches. I was only off of work for 2 weeks but I have a sit down job. I'm sure if someone has a more active job they might want to take another week off. I was still a little sore after 2 weeks but it was tolerable.

Jennifer, thanks so much for posting your photos...WOW, what a difference!

Congrats on your success so far; I know you'll stay motivated!

Looking good:thumbsup: I think it was definetly the right decision for you!!! Keep doing what your doing so you can keep it up!!! 77 pounds...WOW...great job!!!:yay: Hugs:p
