7 months post-op! Before/After Picture

[*Dean* 1,594]

You look amazing.

(Disclaimer - I'm a guy and I think like a guy) You're right in a group of three girls there's sometimes 'the fat one' but there's almost always 'the hot one'.

You're lucky you have supportive long term relationships with them. You've gone from 'the fat one' to 'the hot one' in 7 months. Most girls would be insanely jealous!

And I don't think I've ever commented on a before and after picture, just "liked" or admired from afar lol, but I felt compelled to gush this time!! Definitely the hot one!

You look amazing! I had to do a double take, actually. So what kind of workouts do you do? What do you typically eat in a day? I hope you don't mind all the questions, it's just that I love to hear from those who have done this thing!!

Thanks so much If you don't mind looking back at some of my old posts, I go into pretty in depth detail as to what I was eating and what I was doing for exercise. I will try to link some posts. For a short answer, right now I'm exercising 3-5 times a week for about an hour. I'll run 2-3 miles, 20 minutes of core, and then arms or legs depending on the day. I have oatmeal or eggs every morning, usually a salad or hummus/veggies plus some Snacks for lunch, and then just normal basic dinners based around Protein. I don't track everyday, and if I'm craving something I will have a bite of it. I also drink lots and lots of water! I feel like I really have broken my food addiction....I just think about what I am eating and try to make healthy choices. I will say for 4-5 months I was extremely strict with what I ate which I recommend because that's when you are losing the most weight!

You look amazing.

Dean...too funny! haha "Hot" has never been a word I would ever use to describe myself, but hey I will take it. I'm lucky to have great friends....especially since they have never been able to relate to any weight issues. They've been size 0's for as long as I can remember haha

Wow!! Dean is right... and I AM jealous You look fantastic. With the weight loss in your face, you look like a different person!! Absolutely stunning!

You look gorgeous! I'm so glad I read your post tonight. I'm 15 days post op and had a meltdown tonight...just feel like I won't ever recover and feel good again. It will be all worth it if I can have a success like yours! I started at 221, 5'2" tall. After 15 days I'm at 201 and have lost 2 inches in my waist already. My goal is to be about your size...which is the size I was in my early 20's.

Your success gives me hope! Thanks so much for posting!!
