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.

11 months apart

You must be very proud of your hard work. Thank you for posting

I ordered these pj pants many years ago and never wore them because they were too small. They're a men's size L/XL. The difference losing 115lbs makes!

You look great! Keep up the good work!

Facebook memories showed me this Christmas picture from five years ago. While not my highest weight, there's definitely a difference to be seen. So here's the five years ago pic, one from April of this year (5 months PRE OP), and one from today (3 months POST OP). I don't smile with teeth often, so hopefully that awkwardness doesn't show lol.

I started getting my energy back when I got to soft foods. I've never felt fatigue before. 3 weeks post op. I almost.legt my grocery cart at checkout and go home as I could barely stand up any more. Decided then to shop for a few things and checkout. Putting them away takes even more energy. So going back another day. Even next, gave me steps and I didn't get so fatigued.

dec 2021, 403 lbs

jul 2022, 365 lbs, 2 months pre-op

dec 2022, 270 lbs, 3 months post-op

OK so here is a before and after from me... I am 6 months out and 100+ pounds down. I think the biggest surprise for me is realizing I didn't have a neck before. I just had chins...My glasses are actually getting comically big for my face.

2020 330#, Noom 2021 310#, Presurgery 309#, 10 weeks post op #265.

Almost 100lb lost between the two pictures.

235lb (106kg) 12/27/22

332 (150.5kg) 9/29/22

15 months post op

Starting weight 575

Current weight 298

Keep showing up and putting in the word it's not easy but it's so worth it. You can tell when I started lifting. The last 4 pictures are the last 4 months.

Amazing job. I'm just starting gym this week. 10 weeks post op.

What a journey! & I'm not finished yet

I'm 4 months post op sleeve and have lost 53 pounds so far. Started at 205 and am currently 152. I'm only 5'0 tall so I still have around 30 pounds to go.

October 2023 will mark my 10 years sleeve anniversary. ??????
I am going to be 53 April 2023 and I’ve never felt or looked better in my life!!
This was ONE OF THE BEST decisions I ever made for ME!
I did my first fitness competition last year and took second place in the Transformations Category.
Nothing is “Impossible” the word itself tells you “I’m possible”!
