Woohoo! Gastric sleeve surgery 5-18-12.

From a size 30 jeans and size 30/32 top to a size 8 jeans & size MD top. From 338 to 181.

When I put the 8's on, and they fastened , I seriously sat in the fitting room floor and cried!

The sleeve is the best thing I've ever done for myself. I would beg anyone who is struggling with their weight, do not wait, do it for YOU!

Thanks so much for asking!

That is just incredible Kristie!! You look just great, congrats!!! I can't even imagine being in a size 8, have not allowed myself to dream of that:)

Thank you! I never would have thought that I would ever be an 8. Never. And yet, here I am.

Kristie, it has been so much fun watching your progress and reading your cheerful posts over the months. Congratulations on being a size 8. So fantastic!!! I feel the same way as you in my 33 skinny levi jeans and medium shirts. Me a medium?? Wtf?!?! I was a 48 Pant and 3-4 x large shirt before. Who knew!! Share the joy!! Keep up the awesome results ! Do you have another goal to shoot for?

Awesome!! I too enjoy reading your post. I am having surgery on July 16 and my starting weight is just under your starting weight. You give me so much inspiration as I'm traveling this pre-surgery journey. I pray that I will have similar results as you. I am 43 and have 3 children that are 6 and under. I want to be healthy so that I can be around to watch them grow up. However, to be there, I have to change where I am today. I'm spiritually, mentally, and physically ready!! A lot of my feeling and being ready is from reading post from people like you. Keep it up!!!

I'm so happy for you! Get ready for the wildest ride of your Life! I did this because I was so angry at my mother. She died when I was 18 from smoking. One day I realized I was killing myself with food. I was doing the same thing to my kids. Your life is going to be so wonderful with your children. Mine are 14 & 11 and I missed out on playing with my kids cause I was too big to run, to chase, to really play. Best wishes on your surgery & I'm always here for you if you have any questions at all.

Congratulations, that is amazing!! I cannot even fathom how great you feel. Our numbers (beginning weight and goal) are similar, I was sleeved on 5/22 and have lost 31.5 lbs since the start of my pre-surg diet. The day to day loss seems small but when I look back I am pleased with the total. I already know I made a good decision. My husband was sleeved last Wednesday. We are excited to be on this journey together. CONGRATS again!

Wow you look Awesome! Congratulations job well done.

Wow! You look amazing!
