Well here it is. I'm so embarrassed by my before photo smh, but that was me. All 330 lbs of me. Yikes!! My highest was 346 lbs at the start of this journey, but I lost 16 lbs pre op and 134 lbs post op and still going.

330 lbs day of surgery 196 lbs

I drink 4, 28oz bottles of water a day. I just keep refilling it with pur water and I buy the flavored water packets from Walmart.

Wow you look so great. How tall are you?. I am 5'5" I started my journey at 347 and the idea of being where u are now it s like a dream can t wait.

You look beautiful! I know that same person existed no matter what you weigh but I compare it to the butterfly emerging from a cocoon. You can fly free now.

You're an inspiration to me and I hope to make the most of my sleeve.
