That's an exciting Non-Scale Victory! Way to go!

Excellent progress pxt. And great top too. Shame it will be swimming on you so much soon you’ll have to consign it to the donation bin. 😉
Congratulations on your weight loss so far.

These pictures were taken 2.5 months apart, same shirt… new me! This surgery has changed my life and I’m so, so grateful.

I remember being pre-op and my favorite thing to do was look at progress photos and dream
I am 6 months, 10 days post op and I am down 128 pounds total. This isnt a very great pic since I have been sick, but i still took it because anything is better than my before!!

I had to go buy a new winter coat today because my old ones are so big that they catch the wind and let in all the cold air! Bonus: I've gone from a TIGHT 3x to a comfortable 1x; I'll definitely be in the "regular" sizes next year.

You look amazing!! This is the goal 🙌🏻😍 congrats!!

Thank you for sharing - you look fantastic. Must be amazing to see yourself shrinking like that looking back! Fingers crossed I get half as much from my surgery.

Fantastic Job!

Taking the before picture is hard, but so so important. I don’t see my own progress month to month but when I look back at the beginning, all of a sudden I can see where some of my (almost) 50lbs has disappeared from.

Stick with it, we’ve got this! 💪🏻

I’m 5’4” and had a VSG on 9/13. My highest weight was 242 and my weight on the day of surgery was 230lbs.

Congrats, you look amazing! Love your story!

@GooseyGirl Great work! Keep those pics coming!!! Nothing beats a good progress pic to keep you (and others) motivated ❤️

I found the less I looked like my “before” picture, the more I was willing to share it.
For a few months after reaching goal, i would show my “before” pic to anyone and everyone who asked (and i was even in my underwear in that pic!)
Now not so much cuz no one cares anymore, LOL.
But yeah, take those pics!!!

You look amazing! What great progress. Congrats!
I second what you said about taking the photos. I have been in a stall, but finally took a new set of pics and wow I could tell the difference 4 months out, and in some unexpected places! For those who don't want to do near naked pics, wear something really form fitting (ideally in colors/patterns that don't distort things/distract the eye) and then take the pics in the same outfit until you can't anymore because they are falling off. I find it is easier to compare photos when I am in the same outfit. It was quite motivating even when struggling with that obnoxious month 3 stall...

Oh wow, what a difference! You look fantastic.
This reminds me - I took some photos the night before my surgery - I really need to update those. Won't be sharing them here though, sorry! Not yet anyway. 🤣

I had my husband take photos of all three sides of me once a month on my surgery date until I hit maintenance 20 months later. I'm SO glad I have those photos! GooseyGirl is correct - you don't always see the difference month to month, but you can by comparing photos to ones that were taken three or four months earlier. Plus I love having the photo documentation of my journey!
