I'm 5'4 and my surgery weight was 236 I believe (I got a new phone and my numbers were in my old phone). My surgery date was 7/30/2015. Here is my before and after picture.

5 months post-op

Seven months. Down 115 and a ton of inches!
    

Sleeved now 2 years and s/p lower body lift 7/2015????. Maintaining well.

When they ask how much weight have you lost just say "I'll forgive you for being rude by asking me if you forgive me for my rudeness for not answering you."

One year today on December 15, 2014, I was given a new life and a second chance to live my life to the fullest instead of letting it pass me by. I want to wish myself a Happy One Year Anniversary on my weight loss journey! I may not have hit my goal of losing 200lbs by today, but I am proud of the 185lbs that I have lost. Plus, I know that I will get pass this stall and hit my goal of 239 very soon. This journey has had its ups and downs but it is worth it, so I can live to grow old with my husband and see our kids grow up and have a family of their own. I have to thank my family and friends for all the love and support they have given me while I have been on this journey. It is just the beginning for me and my family, as we all start to really enjoy life and all that it has to offer.

2 months out and 37 lbs. lost. Before and after.

5 months out and I've lost 75 lbs. this surgery saved my life my heart is at 45% and before the surgery it was only working 40% not only am I losing the weight but my heart is improving as well. I am extremely blessed and only because of my Heavenly Father. Merry Christmas everyone.

Just got a new one: when the waitress says "table or booth?"
And you say I doesn't matter!!!!lol and soon I can post when you can walk into Old Navy or banana Republic and actually walk out with with something you can wear!!!!!! Can't wait

This is a BIG one for me. I bought regular calf sized boots (not wide) and did not die after wearing them to a party!
(Check out the leggings! Lol. I was proud of myself for wearing them outside )

Feeling fantastic! Not sure about sale numbers yet. On the first of December I was down 37 total and 30 since surgery. My 3 month appointment is on the 7th so will weigh in then.

The one pair of jeans I have that fit me are a size I haven't fit into for a decade. It's a great feeling, isn't it? Though I'm trying to picture "mommy jeans" and it's pretty amusing, lol

180.3

183.9 this week

186 this week

I'm three months out.
I had one of the rougher recoveries. I've had kidney stones from struggles to stay hydrated. I've cried over food more times in the past 10 weeks than I've cried in my life. I've been hormonal as hell. Dumping is boarder line torture.
But you know what, I wouldn't trade this for anything. Feeling normal comes back with time.
I don't have to shop in plus sizes any more.
I'm completely off all my heartburn meds.
I can actually sleep through the night now.
I ran my fastest mile ever my first day back at the gym.
People don't treat me different because of my weight anymore.
I feel more confident.
I have a new healthy relationship with food.
Being on an airplane doesn't hurt anymore or feel awkward.
Working out is actually fun now.
I can take a bath that's more Water instead of fat filling the tub.
I enjoy having people take my picture now.
It's a whole new world but I love it. Don't get me wrong, it's very very hard. But as tough as it's been i would do it again in a heartbeat cuz I'm finally enjoying the life I deserve to have. I also realized we have similar starting stats. I'm 5'6, was 257 at my highest recorded weight. I probably weighed more tho honestly. I got down to 235 on my surgery day. And now I'm 189 10 weeks post op.   

Left is the month before my surgery. Right is 23 months later and down from 300 to 155!

Congrats!!
I started in a 24W and last week bought my first 18M. The 18 is a little tight but not uncomfortable! I can't wait to fit into a size 14!

Hi everyone! So the other day my Mom and I went Christmas shopping together. I also wanted to buy pants for myself as mine are pretty much falling off. I've been wearing 18W or 20W for years. I told my Mom that plenty of contributors on this forum say there's a big gap between sizes 16W and 16 and thought I might be stuck in that no man's land.
So I try on a pair of 16W jeans. Too big.
Next, a pair of 16 (regular size!) jeans.
... too big.
Next, 14s.
They fit perfectly.
WHAT!!!!
In my heart of hearts I never thought I'd ever see that number on a tag on my clothing.
Woo-hoo!

Thank you! I'm 5'4 and my starting weight was 286, today 158 ????

I hate the scale, I only weigh once a week! The scale seems to be my enemy
