162 pounds down! (Face pictures)

KimberlyinMN · April 2014

So far, I'm down 162 pounds in 20 months... I'd like to lose another 20 pounds, but I am also happy where I am at. I had the vertical sleeve surgery done on 7/24/2012. I know some folks think this is the "easy" way out, but let me tell you, it's still work. I exercise every day and count my calories. (Although I had a robotic laproscopic hysterectomy four weeks ago, so my exercise has been on hold. Heck, I haven't even been able to be a passenger in a vehicle for the last four weeks... with another week to go. UGH.)

Here are a few face pictures. I plan on having the hubs take some full body pictures so that I can show off the "before" and other "during" photos. I consider my last face picture still a "during" photo as I'm still working on it. I like comparing the first and last photos because they are kind of the same "angle" and it's interesting to see how much the face (and neck) have changed!!

Wow! That hard work shows! And some may say what they want about it being easy. ... I have never had surgery like this done but have been close to a few who have. It is hard physical and mental work. You should be so proud!!! Keep on keeping on... Cheers!!!

Look at you! Beautiful progress. Be gentle with yourself for a bit following your surgery. I had a hysterectomy 18 months ago, and kept pushing myself to do more. Hurt myself in the process.
