Sleeved on 1/10/2018. Down 112 so far.

Got my VGS on January 18, 2018. My beginning weight was 431 pounds and today I weighed in at 260 pounds. Ive dropped from a 5x to a 2x and from a 58 waist to a 42. I've noticed when my wieght stalls my pants and shirts tend to get looser. I'm hoping that in another year I can hit my goal of 200 pounds. I've given away or donated so many clothes that are way to big. Ive had to buy 3 belts!!!! This surgery has changed my life for the better. Let's keep on keeping on.!!!

I don't have many before afters, but here are two...

I've only lost 3lbs in the last month. It's frustrating but we'll get there xx

Hello everyone,
It's my first post, but I've been lurking around since before the surgery. I think now I'm ready to share my progress.

I had my sleeve on March 9, 2018. Highest weight 236. Surgery weight 229. I had surgery through Kaiser in LA by the greatest Dr. Um.

Everything went well. It took a couple solid weeks for my incisions to heal, but after that it was a piece of cake. Everything went down fine and no problems at all. Now I'm almost 7 months post-op, almost 65 pounds down. Current weight 167.5

I feel great, look great.. still want to lose about 15 pounds.

The dress on the photo is the same but was adjusted for fit new me.

As for skin.. ehh.. I wish it would look better, but not the deal breaker! The best decision of my life!!!

Hey bariatric babes! I bet you're all doing fab! Weightloss has slowed for sure but look how far we've all come! This time last year I was 300lbs. Today I'm 150. I'm 10lbs from goal and hoping to be there for Xmas. I never thought this was possible. Yes, there's been bumps in the road, I've fucked up a few times but this has been an exciting journey so far! No regrets xx

Here is my before , my journey, and after one year pic. I was sleeved august 29th 2017, my hw was 277 in first pic. The second pic was 4 months later after surgery. I was 244 in August and in December i was 195lbs the third pic was taken april 2018 i was 165lbs, and last is a pic of my one year wls anniversary and i now weigh 149lbs. What a wonderful journey i took. Now im just beginning to maintain. I dont believe im going to lose more, im very happy where i am today. What do you think?

I’m right there with you @yes_anastasia, I also need to be more diligent with an exercise routine. Well... to be honest I do not have a routine anymore. I do good to make it to the gym at all in a weeks time. I know that my body needs it but I feel so mentally drained by the end of a work week that all I want to do is rest and do whatever I need to do around the house and nothing extra.
On a side note. I am getting ready for a business trip and it calls for “casual business” attire... I have none... So I went shopping yesterday 😳. It is so weird for me to not go directly to the Big & Tall section. After getting some sizes together and trying on clothes that were to big 😬, I finally settled in to XL shirts and 36 waist pants! I was in denial at first and it took a while looking in the mirror to realize that this is who I am right now. Last July I was in 4XL shirts and 48 waist pants! To say I am happy about my progress is a little on an understatement!
Just wanted to share! Happy losing y’all!!

Well, well, well it’s that day of the week again. Monday marked the first time I can remember I’ve been under 250lbs. So I’m happy to say I’m currently at 248 and that’s another 4lbs from last week.

Thanks for checking up on me, @MsTipps - you are doing so well! I was officially down 81.4 lbs at the Dr! Very pleased with my progress, and warned me that weight loss will drop from 2-4lbs a week average to 1-2lbs a week average. Ugh! I really want to lose 10 this month so I can get under 200! Fingers crossed that I lose 9.5 more lbs! The only thing I'm still not doing great with is exercise. I just need to make that happen

Yesterday was my 6 month surgiversary. I didn’t hit the 100lb mark but I got pretty darn close! I’m down a total of 97 pounds as of today! To say I’m excited with this is an extreme understatement!

The big dude in the picture was me in 2007 😳 (weight unknown and didn’t really care at that point in time)

@yes_anastasia Are you walking and or exercising? I found that when I increased my activity level I naturally increased my Water intake. When I officially started going to the gym I stalled for almost 3 weeks, that was extremely frustrating. Then when I started incorporating heavier weights I began seeing extreme slow downs. I realized I was trading fat for muscle but it was still difficult for me to accept this mentally. We will all see stalls, gains and other mental roadblocks along the way. I know you will push through this and will see much more progress in the future!

120 lb different in two years. Going in for plastics on 08/14.

I’ll be five months post RNY in 11 days. Was 320 January 1st, 285for surgery, currently 210...

Starting weight 380,current weight 168
I’m 2 years post op gastric bypass.I can honestly say I look and feel amazing!

Updated progress pic!

You also may need to increase your fluids, try to get in at least 64oz. If you are drinking Protein Drinks they also count towards your Fluid total. I was using Miralax also, this helps to keep you somewhat regular. You will need more fluids if you take stool softeners like Colace.

I’m one week and 3 pounds from my six month goal... I hope I make it, it’s crazy I’ve never cared about my weight before and now I care and I want to hit goals. I’ll take some pictures next week! PS all of you look super good, I hope you all feel better too.
