Amazing !

You look great!!

You look amazing congrats!!!

I wonder how it feel after being overweight all these years to finally be at a “normal” size again. I was pretty slim all the way until my mid 20’s then I just put on like 70 lbs over a course of 15 years and I didn’t really notice until about 5 years ago and been trying to lose ever since. I lost 20 lbs here and 30 lbs there but always put back more so I finally made the decision to have wls. Idk how I’m going to feel to be back to my normal weight it’s exciting and a little scary at the same time! How is it for you guys?

Beautiful!

Wow you look great and you are absolutely right about putting work in!

You look amazing!!

They really do ! I cant wait to show my before and after pics lol

Slightly old picture, and still WIP, but this is about 160 lbs down...

Everyone looks SO GOOD!!! Congratulations to all of you!!

You look great!!

You look amazing

Here you go.

Okay, I'll play along! I don't have a "before" pic that really represents how big I was, because I generally avoided being photographed back then. My before is from a chorus concert I did--and I will admit that I was wearing a "man girdle" at the time. (Cringe.)
I went from 250 to a low of 132 before bouncing back up to 142.

You look totally amazing! How much have you lost and in what time period?

I’m one year post op.
5’4
Hw/sw: 284
Cw:152
Gw:160
New goal: 140

photo on the left was at my heaviest.
photo on the right was last week (pardon the mess in my room lol)
my rny was september 25, 2020 - down 63 lbs so far. still have about a 100 to go but feeling great! i have way more energy and recently started swimming at the Y.

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR SURGERY! Best decision I ever made.

Hey all you beautifully people! I have my surgery scheduled for March 17th and I am kinda nervous now lol idk why this is what I wanted so badly now I keep thinking about everything that can go wrong. I would love to see before and after pics to help me calm my anxiety!

You look amazing congrats!!!

This is more of a before and during, as I am not quite to goal. First pics were right before starting my pre-op diet in late June and the last pic is two days ago. Size 20-22 down to an 8 in less than seven months. Loving all of the energy I have now!

You look amazing!!

Everyone looks so great. Congrats on your success.
I lost 31kg in 6 months which was my goal & a further 11kg in the last 13 months. The first pxt was about 6 months before surgery - can’t believe I was that big. The second was last week.
It’s a big decision to change how your body functions so your worries are understandable. Having surgery was the best decision I ever made. My journey was pretty smooth. A couple of little hiccups (low blood pressure, a little hyperglycaemia) all manageable & all things I’d experienced in the past when I had been slim. Certainly nothing that makes me regret my decision.
Good luck on your journey.

I'm a guy but hope this helps. This came up as one of those "memories" timeline photos - MAY 2019 vs MAY 2020 on the same day. Surgery is a helpful tool, but you have to put in work as well! (VSG not bypass - but same concept)
