My progress
Surgery date: May 28, 2013
Starting Weight: 228
Current Weight: 143
Goal: 130

2 months post op and down 40lbs.
Pre op weight : 225
2 months post op : 183

So as of March 2nd, (2 days past my 9 month surgeversary) I have reached my goal weight!!!!!! I am ECSTATIC! I never NEVER dreamed that it was possible to be this small! And even better, I feel incredible! This journey has been truly life changing! 9 months, and 111lbs lost! It doesn't even seem real!
High weight: 236
Starting weight: 223
Current weight: 125!!!
Started out at a size 16/18. Now (and this is still hard for me to believe) I am a size 3!!! I've never been a 3 in my life!

I guess it depends on the person and whether or not they have a good support system. I told everyone close to me, and only told others if they asked, or as someone said before, if it could potentially help them to know. I just adapted my outlook on what people thought to the 'I don't give a f***' attitude. Having wls was a choice I made for both my physical and mental health, and no one has to like or accept it other than me.

I was a little weary at first, especially having had the lap band fail the first time around. But getting the sleeve was the best decision I have ever made for myself. I have never been able to look in the mirror and like what I see, until now who knew I would ever like to be in pictures?!
   

The older picture was just March 15th. The newer is yesterday

I'm pretty surprised that my skin is continuing to shrink back on its own! I didn't think it all would!

I am a few days shy of 11 months post op. I seriously never cold have imagined being this happy and comfortable in my own skin! What an awesome feeling!
High Weight - 242 (got that # wrong before)
Start Weight - 223
Current Weight - 119!!!
