Congrats! I'm at 99 too. Oh scale... please move! I'm going to have a party when it gets there. heh.

My before and in progress picture. Down 63lbs from my highest. 43 from surgery.

Today is officially my 6 month surgiversay. I'm down 98lbs (wanted so badly to make it an even 100 but didn't quite get there lol) I'm happy with my progress thus far though I know now is the time I need to step up the exercise since I admit I haven't excersied much at all. But now that I'm down quite a bit and moving around is easier I can actually do it without feeling like I'm going to die.
Surgery has changed my life honestly. I have had some emotional issues the last few months and I don't think I expected those things. Surgery is such an emotional process, more then I ever imagined. I won't lie to you pre ops, before surgery I kinda thought I would hgave surgery and all my issues would go away and my life would magically be amazing. Not quite the case. I still had my emotional baggage and even more so after surgery, but I am working on them. All in all though, I am SO happy and proud of my progress. I has changed my life for the better. Before surgery my health was going down hill very fast at only 23 years old. At my heaviest I was nearing 400lbs. I do not know my exact high weight but it was darn close to the 400 pound mark. I couldn't really walk more then a block with out feeling like I was going to passout. I was in SO much physical pain, more then I ever admited to. My knees hurt so badly (I have had several knee injuries over the years) I couldn't LIVE life anymore. I live in NYC and as you can imagine mobility is your life line and I had outgrown this city. I didn't have this surgery for vanity, though of course wearing smaller clothes and being able to shop anywhere you want is a huge plus, but I did it for health. I never, and still don't really strive to be a size 6. I want to be a size healthy.
I was 379 at my recored heaviest and in a size 26/28. Today I am sitting at 281 and am in a size 18/20. I am still big by most peoples standards but where I am now is day and night. I have never been less then 270 in my adult life and that is only 11 pounds from now. Excited to get there. I am a work in progress and am going to keep going and see where I wind up.
This was way longer then I meant it to be lol. Now for pictures- the real reason you all are here haha.

You look fabulous!! Keep up the great job!!

I started at 407, surgery weight 388 on Jan 14th, and now, exactly 4 months later, my weight this AM was 296. Don't worry, as long as you follow the program, you will lose weight. VSG is a great tool for making weight loss manageable!

My starting weight was 379. There were many people here who were in your weight rane. There are also many people with higher weights such as myself who have had great sucess.
Good luck on your surgery!

Thanks! Yes I did' date=' quite a bit. I'm still losing it. I cut my hair pretty short around month 4 (those are extentions in the picture lol) I've been taking Biotin though and I'm hoping it grows back healthier.
This is my actual hair length lol

Ill follow you as soon as I figure out how haha. I'm new to Instagram. If anyone wants to follow me I'm Fallenangel2904

Hate to break it to him but being thin doesn't automatically mean you're attractive. Not to sound like this ****** bag, but I've seen many uh less then beautiful people looking people who were thin so that kind of blows his theory out of the Water. I still believe beauty has nothing to do with waist size. If you are beautiful you are regardless of wearing a size 2 or a 22.

Umm... It would be my dream fantasy to look that good after all of this is said and done !

So I am going to be 6 months post op in a few weeks (can't believe it lol) down almost 100lbs so far. (Highest weight was 379, down to 283. Still a ways to go but getting there) I was just looking at some old pictures of myself and doing side by side comparisons and I notice obviously my face looks A LOT thinner of course, but my facial features actually look different? My nose looks SO much smaller. I have always disliked my nose, thought it was too wide for my face, but looking at recent pictures to me it looks almost like I got a nose job or something? I honestly LOVE my 'new' nose haha I also feel the shape of my face has changed, I think its more heart shaped then the original 'round' I always assumed it was lol.
Has anyone else notices this or something similiar with their face losing weight?
Heres a few pictures to show what I mean

I found that site a while ago and its so cool to look at! It really gives you such a good idea how weight, pants size and shape vary SO much! Its great to look at to understand how its so subjective. When people say 'I want to be a a size 6' you can see how there really is NO one size fits all 6 and how it varies so much.
Such an interesting site! Thanks for bringing it here!

Completely agree! Congrats!!! By the way, I want your eyebrows - share your shaping secrets lol

Yep! Your whole face looks like its changed symmetrically. You look younger now too! And thats always a good thing! Very pretty too btw before and after!
I noticed mine looks different too. Sometimes I look in the mirror and its like looking at someone else now. I'm 3 1/2 months out and as of 2 weeks ago down 80lbs.

I agree with mom2five...honestly, I think you are beautiful in all of those pics...I can see your face slimming down of course, but I truly don't see much change in your facial features themselves (with you that is a good thing, because as I said you are beautiful already)
congrats on the weight loss so far!
