Photo page

Welcome to my photo page. This is always the first place I check on anyone's weight loss surgery page, and now I actually have some progress photos to see!

Danskin 2003 (207 pounds - June, 2003)

Up to 90 pounds gone now... and more action photos!

80 pounds lost (217 pounds - December 2002)

Another 10 pounds gone - slow but steady. I'm wearing some Gap size 18 (non-stretch) jeans here, of which I am very proud :-) My hair is being funky but oh well...

 

70 pounds lost (227 pounds - August 2002)

Took me forever to break this particular plateau, but here I am at 227 pounds. I lost about 3 inches in my waist between the 60 pound pictures and here...

Danskin Triathlon (230 pounds - June 2002)

Here's some photos from the Danskin Triathlon I ran in (and completed!) 6/23/2002.

60 pounds, finally (237 pounds - April 2002)

I had an 8 week plateau (I wasn't very restricted and was exercising a lot) but I got a recent adjustment which finally got me to -60. Yep, those are braces on my teeth, and please excuse the dorky look on my face in the side shot :-)

The shirt is an 14-16 from Lane Bryant and the pants are size 20 non-stretch pants.

I thought I'd throw in some extra pictures here because I realized my original pictures had arm shots and the most recent progress pictures did not. Plus, I went into J. Jill the other day and purchased for myself, from a "normal" store, a size 18 shirt (3 of them, in fact) This is one of those shirts, with some size 20 shorts. Just hopped out of the shower, so my hair is all flat.

(also April 2002)

47 pound loss (250 pounds - December 2001)

Here's some 47-pound pictures. I took these because my next mini-goal was 250, and I got below 250 this morning. Very exciting.

The shirt is an 18-20 from Lane Bryant and the pants are size 20 LB stretch pants.

33 pound loss (264 pounds - October 2001)

Finally, here are some new pictures - of me after 33 pounds lost. I didn't pick the best part of the day to do these pictures, but that's ok - you'll get more when I've lost another 30. Maybe if I feel motivated I'll re-do these earlier in the morning in the next few days.

Note that these pants, size 24, fit me better than my size 28 ones did pre-op. Pretty exciting. And check out the difference in my face!

Kirsten, Pre-Op (297 pounds - July 2001)

 

Incision Pictures

Here are a couple of pictures of my scars about 1 week postop. You can see that the laproscopic surgery is really minimally invasive. There are 4 small holes and a short (2 inch) incision.
