PROGRESS PICTURES! ~ Two months post op! - Three months since pre op!

[Bluegrass state]

Just updated my own little picture strip since I started taking pics on 3/10/12, and I just wanted to share!! I had previously lost -20 lbs BEFORE the FIRST picture, so - take that into consideration. (sad)

My stats are in my signature. I had my Gastric Sleeve on 4/17/12, and I started my pre-op diet on 3/1/12.

I'm so excited at the difference!!! .. (I also took side and back shots)

Definitely remember to take your progress photos and inches, you guys! When you feel like you aren't moving, you can LOOK and see that you are!

You look great, keep up the good work. I never thought to take before photos and measurements. My Dr office did a neck measurement on my first visit but that was it for that. I used the only 'before' picture I could find from a month before my first visit with the office and then an after picture from yesterday, they are in my profile under the before and after tab.

Thanks you guys! Yes, everyone at work keeps telling me I need smaller clothes! I am smaller on the top than in my hips, so it gives me fits, and the knit shirts work best.. I have alot of new ones that will work for this coming fall, but for the rest of the summer, I'm screwed!
Buffalogal, I can't see your pics - when I went there, i saw the header, but no pics.

I have the same problems, I'm hippie and have a rear end. Try old navy or lane bryant, they have great clothes for curvy girls, old navy you have to order from the website if you're still over a 20 and they are a bit more affordable than lane bryant.
