Still a work in progress but about 7 1/2 months out and down 103lbs. Its hard to see everyday but comparison pics help! Excuse the before pic with no bra but forgot to take a pic before the surgery so did one quickly before heading out

It is really something to compare my progress. I think I look much better now, what do you think?
So worth it!
 

I started at 250 six months ago and am 8 pounds from goal weight of 130. I'm 5'6
 

Sharing my 5 month post op pic! First pic is from 12/25/14, 342 lbs. My current pic is from 5/29, my 5 month surgiversary, weighing 250.4. 92 lbs down so far since surgery, and 118 from my highest weight of 368! My goal weight is 170.

Hi everyone, I love checking in and hearing about all the progress.
I have some good news, yesterday I got on the scale and including the 27lbs I lost pre-surgery, I have now lost 100lbs. Down from 310 at my heaviest (11/26/2014) to 283 at my surgery (1/20/2015) to 210lbs now. I am thrilled and so proud of myself. I'm tearing up just typing this. Anyway, keep up the great effort, we all go at a different pace but it seems like everyone here is making progress.
30lbs to go till my goal ????
My heaviest

Yesterday

Hay!
Jan 5th sleeved!
Doing great, feeling SOOO MUCH BETTER!!!
Here is my before and after so far.
Left was 2 weeks after surgery
Right was mid April, so I've lost some more since than, but started lifting weights too so I've been bouncing around the same weight.
But I'm excited!!
New pics to be coming soon since the wedding I'm in is June 19th!
But the dress is hot pink not blue!

ok, so here I am (on the left, ha ha) at 9+ months out. 7 lbs. from goal (yay). But I can easily see going another 10 below it. It will take work though - each pound now is getting harder...

This isn't my after because I still want to lose about 40-50lbs but so far so happy with my progress and my sleeve. I'm about 11.5 weeks out and am down 76lbs.

I just happen to do another side by side before as yesterday was my 10 month surgeversary!! I had surgery July 25, 2014. I started my journey at 336 and today I'm 115lbs lighter at 221!! Whoop whoop!! Things have defiantly slowed, as I'm having to work harder, but I feel amazing and actually want yo get out and exercise!!  

Hello everyone!... I'm on my 7th day of my post op and I think this is a great idea!!!...So I'm starting to take a pic every morning so I can create a time-lapse video and post it for everyone to see this amazing transformation for all to see and be even more excited and motivated!!! ????

Down 103 lbs almost 7 months post op. 6lbs to onederland

Ok, being brave! Tomorrow is my 6 month surgiversary, and I'm down 81 pounds so far. Finished the Color Run yesterday and thought it would be fun to compare this year's post-run picture to the one from last year. I couldn't have gotten the tutu around one thigh last year!

ignore the dirty mirror I took a full body shot. In a friends mirror.

I still have a long ways to go but here is a before and after picture. I was sleeved on 1/15/2015

The picture on right is from February 15, 2015
My journey is just beginning I have hit stall after stall but I am not giving up. I been at a stall for about a month, some days are better than others. At times I can eat very little and be good all day and some days I feel like I can eat a lot more. I do workout 6 days a week for the most part.

I didn't keep my surgery a secret. I told everyone. And I too, rec'd lots of interesting comments. The one that sticks out in my mind the most is "its the easy way out". If I've learned anything after being sleeved, is that is it not an easy way out by any means. Its a great tool, and yes, its helped me loose weight more efficiently than if I hadn't had the surgery. But it is NOT easy. A lot of work needs to go into it. You shouldn't be embarrassed about ANYTHING!!!

I do go to the Gym.
This was most certainly not the easy way out.
I did not tell you because I needed someone to support me not Judge me.

I have fine, thin, very slow growing hair. At 10 months out I have had no Hair loss. My "secrets"?....I've always gotten in all my Protein and I take a whole food based Multivitamin. I was mentally and emotionally in a great place throughout this process. I never stressed over the preop diet, the postop diet, the surgery itself, or any of the stalls or BM issues I experienced. Never took Biotin or used other hair products.
But really I have no idea if anything makes a difference. After reading dozens of posts on this subject I really think it's just how your body deals with the stress of surgery and weight loss. Pretty much just a crap shoot.
