For me the biggest difference is the increase in energy. I actually am driving my wife crazy doing all the things I was too lazy to do before. Maybe lazy is the wrong word... too damn FAT to do. Also am down from a button popping 52 jeans to size 46 falling off my ass. I am down 80 lbs since my pre-op diet the day after Thanksgiving, 50 since surgery on Dec 28. I don't have to have the steering wheel all the way up to fit in the car, my legs don't almost bust the armrests off the office chair, and I didn't need the extender belt on the plane a few weeks ago! Leftovers? Hell, that's all I can eat usually- two or three bites of whatever we had the night before. One other side effect is that grocery shopping is BORING! Maybe I really was a food addict!
Don't worry, you'll start to see and feel the huge difference soon. So will everyone else, and when they tell you how much weight you have lost, it's almost better than sex.

I don't know! It will be interesting to see what stores I find myself in or what catches my eye. Growing up I was always jeans and baggy sweatshirt girl. Now as an adult I am jeans and baggy t shirt woman. I don't have a style, but I want one badly, but nothing looks good on me at this size.

I have to wear suits for my job several months out of the year. I want to be able to shop in the normal men's section. I want to be able to buy cool t-shirts to wear on vacation and while fishing. I want to shop and be able to buy something that catches my eye off the rack and not have to put it back because it isn't a 5xl.

Today marks six months out for me from surgery and two days ago I hit 101 lbs down from my surgery weight!! I still have a ways to go to get to my personal goal weight but for the first time in my life I finally feel that I can make it to that goal. The first pic is from I think two weeks pre op and the second was yesterday dressed up for Easter.

From 360 lbs to current 225......still have a good ways to go before I'm where I want to be but I'm getting thetr

First one is 11 days before surgery and second one is today, down 93 so far since surgery.

I hit my nut goal on Wednesday. This is my down before goal but a general idea  

This is me pre-op around 300 lbs and today (exactly one year later) at 174.

Love sharing on these kind of posts!!! Here's my 100 pounds picture!!
Pre-op 262
8 1/2 months post op- 160
Size 22 pants pre
Size 4 pants currently
Size 2X shirts pre
Size S/M shirts post

This is more than 100# but here you go. Before 385 After 205

I've lost about 76 pounds in 6 months. I went from a 3x shirt, size 22 pants to a size large shirt, 13 pants. Still have a ways to go but I am happy with what I've lost

Okay, here goes.... 120 pounds down -- and trying to hang on for dear life!

This is just around the 100 mark and was approximately 6 mos post-op. I am now just over 9 mos and down 125 & counting. Good luck!

I am closing in on my permanent size, and have a really nice wardrobe, including sportcoats, sweaters, slacks, quality dress shirts, Pendleton wool shirts, etc. for all around $300. I love EBAY -- especially those sellers who take offers, feel like I am on American Pickers.

I wear nothing but black pants...even in the summer!! I'll be glad to wear colors! Skirts, Jeans & summer dresses!!
