CW 137
GW 135

I started out at 235 pounds. Put myself on a two-month diet and lost 11 pounds. Then did my surgeon's two-week liver-shrinking diet and lost another 8 pounds.
Surgery day I weighed 216.
It took me 8.5 months to get down to my own personal weight goal of 150 pounds. Nobody else gave me a goal, so I chose that nice round number, the least I'd weighed in 35 years. At that point I was finally an 8-10. Could NOT believe it. And yes, vanity sizing made those sizes possible.
Anyway, over the last 9 months I've slowly lost another 15 pounds and weigh 135. Those last 15 pounds have made a big difference in my size, however. And even now that my weight is stabilized and I'm no longer losing weight, my body is still shrinking a bit. Weird.
It's hard to say what the sizes I wear are, since they vary so much, depending on the designer / style / store. Here are some examples of sizes that fit me very well (not tight, but not too loose):
Escada - size 2
St. John - sizes 4 and 6 in pants and jackets (a bathing suit I bought yesterday is a VS -- "very small"
Chico - size 0
BCBGMaxAzria - size 8 (biggest designer/size I wear now)
Misook - S and VS
Talbots - 2 and 4
Loft - 2 and 4
Victoria's Secret bras - 34D and 34DD
I have NO IDEA if I'll stay this small. As I've said before, I'll be happy between 135 and 145 -- probably all the way back up to a solid 6-8.
I am definitely one who never thought I would be this slim. I'm now officially a skinny b***h.

P.S. I have not had any plastics. And probably won't.

Pretty common to do two rounds of meds for it, it's nasty

So I'm having a new experience with my VSG results. For the first time ever, I'm actually feeling vain about my looks. Normally I don't particularly care about how I look. Compliments embarrass me, I don't wear the latest fashion, heck, I don't even wear makeup. I throw a hat on instead of brushing my hair a lot of days. I had surgery to get healthier, get out of pain, lower my blood pressure, etc. I never did it to fit into single digit sized jeans. I've always been proud of my accomplishment, but never vain. Until now.
I'm going to Florida in a couple weeks. I used to live in St. Pete, like 20 years ago, and still have a lot of friends there. They've all only known me as overweight/obese. They know I had surgery, we've talked on the phone and they have seen pictures of me, but this is our first face to face visit in over 5 years and 100 pounds lighter. And along with my excitement of seeing my friends, i'm feeling what I can best describe as, well, vain. I WANT them to be impressed with the new me. I'm looking forward to the compliments (I hope) they give me. Their praise will be quite self satisfying to me. I am trying on outfits to see which ones make me look good (and skinny), as opposed to throwing "whatever" in a suitcase 15 minutes before heading to the airport. Can't wait to hit the beach and the surf and go kayaking to show off my bod. No offense to people that do care about their looks or feel this way all the time, it's just so out of character for me, I'm not sure what to do with it.
So I'm not really looking for advice, just wanted to share this with the only people that might be able to relate. I guess you're never too far out to discover a new "twist" in your WLS journey.

Hi everyone I am 3 years post op VSG and never showed anyone my before and after. I have decided I love this community and should not be shy to show my success and progress because I know it motivated me to see others post these, and I hope it helps my fellow WLS friends ❤️.
