All of the amazing the pics here inspired me to have my surgery so I figured I would also include mine... I haven't looked at myself in a side by side pic yet and I must say even I was shocked (in a good way!)

Stats:

Pre surgery weight: 240 (the morning of)

Size: 18/20

Height: 5'-2

Current weight: 188

Current size: 13/14

Total lost since surgery: 52 lbs

(no pre-surgery diet, I was 240 lbs the day I went back for surgery)

COngrats!!

Great job! Congrats!

Wow .... GREAT JOB , Congrats on your continued success .....

Thanks everyone, I kindof love my sleeve

Wow you look awesome! Well done!!!

Lookin good ms.lady..keep up the good work

You look great!! Ok what are you eating? Are you working out? I need inspiration.

I'm not stepping on the scale until I go to my doc but I have loved buying jeans 2 sizes smaller!

Sleeved nov 7th. As of 2 weeks ago loss of 30 lbs = 247

Wow! Look at how much younger you look! Fantastic job!

Woo Hoo!

You look great....look at that waist! Keep up the good work!

Thanks guys! The most amazing thing I've come across so far is having to reorder my wedding dress! From a size 22 to a size 10 (that's guess work since I have no idea what size ill be in Feb) they even had to refund me 50$ because I'm not a big girl size anymore!!

As far as food I'm not nearly as good as some at counting calories etc, on a normal day I eat:

Breakfast: oatmeal (not sugar free just regular old oatmeal)

Lunch: mostly meat - so maybe tuna with egg in it on wheat thins

Dinner: Lemon baked fish, broccoli or some other veggie

I try to get all of my Protein through food because I HATE protein shakes/bars.

I don't work out as much as I should with school and work... But when I do i just get on the treadmill and do a little on my arms or legs while I'm there.
