You look amazing.
(Disclaimer - I'm a guy and I think like a guy) You're right in a group of three girls there's sometimes 'the fat one' but there's almost always 'the hot one'.
You're lucky you have supportive long term relationships with them. You've gone from 'the fat one' to 'the hot one' in 7 months. Most girls would be insanely jealous!

Wow!! Dean is right... and I AM jealous You look fantastic. With the weight loss in your face, you look like a different person!! Absolutely stunning! And I don't think I've ever commented on a before and after picture, just "liked" or admired from afar lol, but I felt compelled to gush this time!! Definitely the hot one!

Holy Cow - It's been 7 months!
My weight has pretty much stayed the same this last month and I'm quite okay with it I started at 231 lbs. and 'm holding steady at 143 lbs. Ideally, I'd like to lose 10 more pounds and I am working towards it. It will happen!
I was just in my friend's wedding this past weekend and it was so nice not to dread a formal event!! Last time this year, I dreaded stuff like this for weeks due to knowing I wouldn't have anything to wear and that there would be tons of pictures. My friend looked beautiful and I was able to focus on her wonderful day rather than being insecure and concerned about how I looked.
As you will see in the pictures below, my friends are super tiny...like 95-100 pounds tiny! They have been my friends since I was 5 and I had always felt insecure taking pictures with them...no one wants to be the fat friend! With that said, they have been extremely supportive. They have never made me feel bad about myself and when I told them I was having the surgery they were 100% supportive. They are so proud of me and I love them for it. I didn't tell every person I know that I had surgery, but I did tell my close friends and it was one of the best things I could have done. To me, the surgery was something to Celebrate and something to be proud of. I'm proud of my decision and how hard I've worked to lose the weight....I hope everyone else feels that same sense of pride! You are taking control of your life and it should be celebrated.
Thank you to the people who read my posts every month. You guys leave the nicest comments and I'm thankful for the support this forum has provided me with. Wishing everyone happiness and success with their surgery!

I'm 11 days post op and noticing a difference already!

We went to our son's house this weekend to meet our new granddaughter about 8 hours away. We ate every meal out, I did pack some Snacks. I was afraid to get on the scale this morning. I kept praying please, no more than 2 pounds...I lost!!! I was so surprised!!!! WOOO HOOO!!!!!

And it went down so well! Ham 3oz, 3 green Beans and about 1tsp of mashed potatoes. Strange how I'm satisfied with that small amount. First "real meal" I've had since surgery. Sleeved 2/27.

Well I'm still happy at the 10% love my wife happy with my lot love my crazy kids and not changing for nothin or no one .
things can only get better in the land of brilliant if my wife and kids could put up with me FAT then we were always meant to be together 100% fact oh and my wife can't read this so I'm not doing it for effect : ) so all you shallow cheaters out there you've just wasted your time with a wrong choice THiINK HARDER NEXT TIME

Heck, I'll be with my husband forever since I spent all the money on my gazillion weight loss surgeries.. I can't afford $&!? Let alone a divorce

Happy Easter all!!! Im missing my little ones today, but they're going to wake up to some yummy Easter baskets. Im feeling 100 times better today. The first 24 hours were rough, but by last night I felt way better.

Morning all!!! I'm waiting to board my plane. Leaving good ole New Orleans. Missed my flight, but its all good. Everything happens for a reason. If you're keeping tabs on me, like I am keeping up with most of you, I shall post my experience here. Praying for an uneventful flight. Later yall :-)

Congrats to you on your success! You look absolutely stunning!

I'm also in Prairiville. My surgery was with Dr. Bellanger at Woman's two days ago. I have already dropped five pounds and feel really good! A little nausea and very minimal soreness (the iv spot hurts more than my tummy!) and just trying to get in my Water.
I really look forward to getting to know y'all!

I love Linda and Katherine! They made this proces so much easier.
Dr. Bellanger actually came in on his off day to do my surgery since I am a teacher and hate to miss school. I get to recuperate during Spring Break!

6 months down 101lbs
