Couldn't see the difference until I looked a year back...*pictures* (fixed link)
I am a bit over 3 months out now, and down 60 lbs. total (53 from surgery itself), surgery weight was 299, highest was 306 just a few days before that, now at 246. I found a picture of myself at my daughter's 2nd birthday which is below, this is from last year, on 9/14/2012, I was around 290 at the time: (edit: fixed image links)
and this is from yesterday, at my daughter's 3rd birthday, at 246:
I really can finally see the difference after finding that picture from her party last year! For everyone who is worried about stalls, or questioning what progress they've made, etc. look at pictures from your highest weight, look back at yourself. Take new pictures and compare, it will really open your eyes, it did for me!
