I love seeing the progress people have made after surgery. So for those comfortable enough to share them I'd love to see your before and after (and even progress) pics. I haven't had surgery yet (and wont for at least another 3mths) so I don't have any to post but I still like seeing what I have to look forward to. The pic below is me at my highest of 316lbs 2hrs after my son was born.

I had surgery almost 6 years ago! Best decision I ever made! Everyone looks amazing! Keep up the good work!

Fabulous!

I started off at 315 pounds in October of 2017. I list 35 pounds in almost two years on my own before surgery. In August 2019, I had gastric sleeve surgery and have lost another 90 pounds so that I am down a total of 125 pounds. I only have the two headshots but can’t get over the difference. (I used to avoid getting my picture taken). I lost a second chin and discovered my clavicle. I have gone from a 3X to a L in clothes.
My only regret is that I didn’t have the surgery sooner. The second picture is from my 6th month follow up and I was at 205 at the time. I am averaging about 5 pounds a month weight loss.

First before and after photo!

I am 4 months out (SD 1/21/20) and am about 85 down from my highest weight known (from when I decided to make a change - rarely weighted myself before that).

I still have a long journey ahead, but looking back makes me realize the progress I’ve already made, which can be hard to see in the day to day.

Va-va-voom! Nice work!

The photo that kick-started my motivation VS current. I'm about 2.5 years post-WLS and about 14 months post-skin removal surgery.
