Starting my chest workout journey. Only 80lbs on the bar for now. I just want to get comfortable with the motions again while slowly working my weight up on the bar.

You look awesome Thanks for sharing your photos x gives me inspiration to keep going

not done yet... But in a size 14 now, started at a 30/32 face is totally different

The first two was about three months pre-op.
The rest are about a year post-op.

Found an old pic today, definately makes me not ever want to go back to the old me.

That is awesome! Thanks for sharing

I was sleeved 12/17/15. Down 35 since surgery and 60 since August 2015 when I first saw my surgeon.

I am 22 months out and still embracing life as a normal sized person! Skiing? Hell yes! Wear a bikini, even with a bit of a gut??? Hell yes! Full body photo on a beach?? Hell yes!! 

And the following was 2 months prior to surgery

Aw hell, one more picture. Just because.

Tried on a pair of American Eagle jeans today. 38 waist 36 lenght cause I'm tall. They fit. Have not worn a 38 anything in over 20+ years.

Before:

After (now)

New before/after..

Here's my currents:
   
And my Befores:

Highes Ever / Around 300 Lbs / and just Pre Sleeve

  

You give me hope! I was in a 26 and 319 at surgery, I am 4 months out and 80lbs down so far. This was a few weeks after surgery then a week ago.

Took this today. I'm sitting between 261-258lbs give or take. I'm also in a XLT shirt. I haven't been able to wear one of these shirt sizes since I was like 12/13 years old. I just turned 36 on Tuesday, so it feels wonderful to reverse the weight trend after 17/18 years of trying and failing. Going to actually go buy my first time ever American Eagle complete outfit. Now I finally get why women love to go clothes shopping.

Don't know if they are inspirational but I have come a long way. Lost 182 lbs. starting weight 340 current weight 158. Surgery 02/21/2012

This is an awesome story! I'm so happy for you! Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Hi. I had the same thoughts but decided with the sleeve on 5/29/15My SW was 320. My DR told me I would lose 70 to 80 in a year To her surprise I was down 120 in 5 months. Im presently 200 and I'm hoping to reach 190 but those last 10 do not want to go away. I know it's mostly because I'm gaining muscle weight from the gym . But to answer your question everyone is different and you'll see that when you read all the post that are here from everyone. Some good and some bad. Make a decision that you will be happy with you.
