Today I am nine weeks out from surgery. I am down a total of fifty pounds - 20 on pre-op and 30 since surgery. I can't even believe it! I had hoped to make it to 50 by my birthday, but I hit that goal two weeks early. Happy early birthday to me!!! None of my clothes fit, but this time, it's because they are too BIG, not because they are too small! I can't remember ever shrinking out of my clothes like this. Without a doubt, deciding to get the sleeve was the best decision of my life (other than marrying my DH!).

I am so thankful for all of the support and knowledge I have received from all of you here at VST. I wouldn't be where I am today without you gals & guys.

Congratulations. I can hear your glee in your writing. 50 lbs is awesome and I wish you continued success!

Congrats

Your post made me smile! I am 6 weeks post op and had a goal to lose 50 pounds by my birthday. I lost 20 pre op and have lost 26 post op, so far! My birthday is in 5 weeks so I am hoping to reach my goal early, as well! 4 more pounds to reach my goal! My next goal is to be down a total of 75 pounds by Christmas. Wishing you the best of luck on your continued weight loss!

Congrats! Very inspirational!

Amazing results...50 pounds gone for ever. Keep it up!!

Starting my liquid in 2 days. Reading these posts keep me motivated and optimistic. I'm nervous about the surgery but even more nervous about the pre op. the results will add years to my life. Any preop advice and post op advice?
