You were lovely looking before. Your after is phenomenal. I'm six weeks out and am truly inspired. Thank you!

It has been awhile since I've posted a before and after. Hope it inspires anyone newly sleeved as to what is possible. Preop I was a size 22 now I wear a 4.  

For anyone who uses My Fitness Pal to track, this is a feature.

Kinda... If that was the case, then we all could have lost weight just by going on a diet. A positive outlook in life is a good thing as is wanting to change but I couldn't wish away my fat no matter how great my desire was.

I had brachioplasty and a breast lift/augmentation and this recovery has been by far much worse. I took two weeks off for that procedure and the thing I could not do was lift my hands over my head for three weeks. I am four weeks postop and was supposed to go back to work tomorrow, but am taking another week. I know that I have expressed a lot of concern about my groin incisions, but they are not getting any worse so I truly believe they just take a LONG time to heal. I see the doc again next saturday, so I am very anxious for that appointment.

Good for you! You look awesome! Today I start my full liquids. I had my surgery on the 24th of January. Im looking forward to my swelling going down. Its frustrating when you know you've had the surgery, you've only had liquids and you don't see a difference yet. I know its because of all the swelling from surgery though. I just need to be patient. * Misty *

I didn't start to shed hair until a few months out. I did lose some but I have a lot hair so it was only noticeable to me. The shedding lasted for several months and then just started to slow down and eventually stop. I do remember the new hair growing back in,m. By 18 months out- it was all grown back. This picture shows my hair, it was taken around this time (Sept or Oct) in 2014.

I do this too! In the first year, I bought a dress was a smaller size that I wanted to fit into for my birthday. Now at 4 years out, I still use this strategy at least once or twice a year to stay on track or to reach a new WL goal (and now I have a lot of cute dresses to boot!).

#Speechless. Please read: I remember vividly waking up March 11th and being so nervous, questioning if I should go through the surgery... Dozens of fears about the unknown surfaced. I shook it off and told myself that I could do it! I carried two babies full term, so this was nothing! Now that I am 9 months out, I feel AMAZING! While I input my weigh-in for this week, I was blown away to read that I'm OVERWEIGHT and not OBESE! My BMI is almost at my target goal, I am 25LBS AWAY from my goal weight... I can just cry right now! I'm becoming a normal, healthy person and that is so valuable to me. The time I have invested in this for me has definitely been worth it! This is a good Christmas present to me from me! 124.7LBS down and I am NOT STOPPING!
