Not yet to goal, but I have wanted to post one of these since before surgery.

I don't mind. Ask me anything you want. It took about 9 months for me to hit 118. I believe I lost 2-3 lbs a week steady.

Here are some of mine [emoji4]
I went from 240 ish to 128ish now. Not really sure what I weigh exactly cause I stopped caring. I'm 5'6 and I wear a size 0-4 depending...
I can run about five miles without getting tired. That's the best thing to me.

2X coat and size 18 jeans down to a 38DD sports bra and size 12 leggings!

8wks Post-Op today!
SW 301
Day of surgery 271
CW 242
Size 22- Size 16

I work out 6 days a week and ride a bike which has helped with the skin, but I will still need surgery on thighs, stomach, arms, and my boobies. Lol.

I love before and after photos! I could spend an entire day looking at all of them! So inspiring for both pre and post-op.
My SW 260, CW 185. 5 months post
Good luck on your journey and feel free to message me with any questions! It takes a village of supporters.

One of the tools that really has helped me was using SparkPeople.com
If I write down everything I put in my mouth it keeps me conscious and helps with mindless eating. It is free. I've lost 120 since surgery on 11/18/15.

Smh... I have come to realize that “some” people are either envious of how your new body looks, or mad that they feel like we cheating while they struggling ... as I recall this is not a race with no one, you doing this for your self/health. I say if they are not worth it.. F it.

Just wanted to share my most recent before/current
HW was 301lbs in July 2016, though it could have been a little more since I didn't weigh regularly.
SW: 271 (12/30/16)
CW: 185
GW: 175, then reassess.
The left picture was October 2016 at about 275 lbs while working my pre-op diet. The right was Monday at 185 lbs.

Hi all, quick update, I am close to my 10th month post-op.

I was VSG’d 03/10/17, HW: 405, SW: 385, CW: 230. My goal weight is 190..
I have been struggling with the last 40 lbs, it seems to be attached to my body LOL.. I am very thankful to this process; it is definitely a great tool. However, it is 50/50 we need to engage the other 50% and battle every day with our old bad habits. I hit stalls 3 times, and they last for weeks.. I don’t even look at the scale, now is my enemy (LOL) , instead I rely on clothing and noticed I am losing size… I increased my workouts the last 4 months, I hope I can meet my goal by March 1st, sharing this few photos for now… Will post more in March and I hope I can see a difference. You always friend Carlos….  

Hi. It has taken a while. I had the duodenal switch in 2007. I started at 400 pounds. Got down to 265 and was stuck for years. 2015 I discovered my fitness pal and Bariatric Pal. I’m at 166 and still losing. My goal is 145 for a normal BMI. I am 5’4”

Hi everyone- just an update... I’m still doing very well maintaining after 2 years. I did gain 20 lbs back but that’s from working from home, vacationing, snacking during the holidays, and drinking. It’s much easier for me to lose weight now. I can eat about 3-4 oz depending on what so eat. I still always eat my Protein first and my bad carbs last. I take my Vitamins religiously and drink lots of Water.
My life is very happy and I’m still so glad with the choice I made for my life. Having no gallbladder has also been an easy transition. I’m between a size 10-12 and although I gained weight, all my clothes still fit. Exercise is what I’m lacking because I work from home now and have been working at 430am. That’s been making me tired.
Happy New Year... and Ill try to keep posting my updates as best as I can! Hope everyone is doing well...
   

Three and a half years out. Consistent 100 pound loss after year one

Here is a before and a current. I'm still early on in my journey, and would like to lose another 40 lbs or so until I hit my "goal weight." My highest was February 2017 at over 327 lbs, and the bottom pictures are of this morning at 226.2 lbs.

Had my sleeve 2 years ago, got reflux so had it converted to bypass last summer. Highest weight was 267, stayed pretty steady at 143-147 for the past year, I'm 5ft 8. Gone from size 2XL to Small, and my feet went from size 11 to 9!

I started running, which has been a huge help with maintenance. I love Spartan style races, they are so much fun!

Edited pictures because I'm still in the closet and paranoid!! I haven't posted pictures here before, fingers crossed nobody I know sees them!

Almost 9 months from surgery. I've lost 125lbs so far. Last time I met the nutritionist she said my goal should be around 170 so I only have 15lbs until I hit that. I plan to reassess how I feel at that weight and if I'm happy at 170 or if I want to lose more. I've taken up sewing over the last few months and customizing my clothes for my changing body is a huge help since I'm losing more in different places and don't always fit well into ready to wear clothes. I made myself the first form fitting dress ever and hopefully find somewhere to wear it soon!
