Sorry about the watermark, but weight loss pyramid schemes take these all the time and try to pass them off as their own.

Was sleeved 07/2/2012 first pic was a month before surgery last 2 are recent pictures taken within the last 3 months.When I had the surgery I was 213lbs. I have basically been between 137-145 the last few months .    

Vsg 121213, 20 months out -- 240 to 170/173 at 5'8", highest ever 293 lowest post op 154 (due to flu) but I prefer 160/165   

I will not let anyone make me feel guilty for wanting to be healthy.
I will not let anyone make me feel guilty for taking the time to exercise.
I will not feel guilty for DOING ME.
Not DOING ME was what got me to over 325lbs. I'm ready to change.
I've been ready to change.
I have to take care of ME.
Cause in the end, no one else will.
Now is the TIME!!
Sleeved 1/5/15
Down 116lbs from my heaviest
????????????????????????????????????????????????
I will not give up!!

BEST THING IVE EVER DONE!!
I am addicted to moving now. I can't stop, I don't wanna just sit around and stuff my face and be sad for myself, it was tough in the beginning, I threw up if i ate too fast, or drank to quickly.
The whole, no drinking while eating before and an hour after was tough for me.
I'd eat dinner, and then I'd want to go to the gym, but I HAVE to drink while I work out, so then had to wait an hour before i went.
I just had a lil period of time management struggles haha.
But I figured it all out, the first 3 months are a challenge. But I walked EVERYDAY. Even if it was slowly. Then every day got easier, everyday I got stronger. Felt better, didn't hurt when I took a step. Now, with what my fit bit tells me... I'm walking about 8-10 miles a day!
I also work in a hospital, so I'm not at a desk, so I'm lucky.
After surgery I walked the mall cause of all the snow we had, then as it got nice I walked outside, now people actually know me at the gym!!!
I was ashamed to walk in the gym and I had a hard time walking through the doors, I felt like people were staring at me (they are NOT) haha
And I still even now get nervous walking in, but then I hear,
"hey Katie!! Your here early today!!"
And I just get on the elliptical and go to town!!!!
Anyone that has a Fitbit pm me!!
I'm obsessed with mine!! Feel free to ask me anything! I'm here if anyone needs anything!

I am 1 year post op today. Before pic I was 385 and after pic taken this past weekend, I am 215. 170 lbs gone!

3 weeks post VSG <20 lbs

My mom has invited me over for dinner, then ordered pizza. Wtf. It's as if she's trying to rub it in my face. I also get frustrated when my bf wants to go out to eat, which is totally fine, but wants to go to places that have nothing I can eat. Or decides we shouldn't cook, he wants takeout. Come on. Get take out or go to grease ball restaurants with your friends. I think it's a little insensitive to do that in front of me, especially because I'm only 2 months out. It's going to be tough forever, but eventually we need to get used to being around food we can't eat or social events that aren't ideal for us. But I think it's reasonable to expect the first few months my family and close friends try to think about me when making plans. I feel selfish saying this, but this year is about me and I need to do everything I can to get the results I want. Sometimes it would be nice for a little more support

I am 2 years post opp starting weight was 318 I am now 185.

I am 7 weeks post-op and have lost 54 pounds. I had to wear a hideous dress as part of a wedding and when I was going through my closet I decided to try it on....
  

Everybody looks great on their pictures. I can't wait to share also my after pictures. My surgery is coming Aug.20th wish me luck.
