So I finally reached the -50lb milestone. YAY!

And thought I should post some pictures. I know the before/during/after photos are something that helped me when I was considering WLS. I am currently 4.5 months post-op and sometimes I come here and feel like a slow loser, and then reality smacks me and I realize that I'm doing fantastic. Never before have I lost this amount of weight in such a short amount of time. All of my weight loss has been post-op because my surgeon didn't require a pre-op diet.

I can't get over how losing a significant amount of weight has made me feel. I didn't feel sick before, but now I just feel amazing. Anyone who doesn't think that -50lbs is a large amount, really needs to photo-document their journey. I can't believe how much of a difference -50lbs has made for me. And I'm not even halfway to goal yet!

WOW, your BIG DAY is coming right up! Good luck with your upcoming surgery!

Yes, I do work out. I've been going to Curves for almost 7 years at least 3-5 times a week, and then I walk on my treadmill or swim laps or take extra exercise classes at my local rec center (but not as often as Curves). I think I've dropped about 3 sizes? I am starting to be able to wear XL in the regular section and I started out wearing 3X in Plus Size. I'm bigger on top (broad shoulders and big chest) so I'm sort of in awe that a regular XL is fitting. lol

Oh, wow you look great !!! great before and after ...Congrats !!! thanks for sharing

What a transformation!! I hope you feel as good as you look!!!!

Congrats!!!! 50 lbs in 4.5 months is FANTASTIC!!!! I am almost at my 3 month time and have only lost 28 lbs... I am frustrated not seeing the big numbers that other people on this site post, but its o.k.... I have never lost 28 pounds this quickly before and am looking forward to the next few months!!!

Again,,,, congrats to you, and keep it up!!!

Congrats to you. You look fantastic!
