You look AMAZING omg! How far out are you? You were beautiful before but the transformation is jaw dropping and I am amazed. You look like a whole new person! I am three and a half months out and was sleeved October 7th and down 91 pounds since surgery. I attached my before and after pic for you as well. Keep up this amazing work! You look FANTASTIC!!!!!!!

Thank you all! I'm so pumped! I don't recognize myself anymore. I'll catch my reflection in the mirror or a building window and I have to do a

Double take. I had my surgery in April. I've lost. 77.5 pounds total. I'm officially at my lowest weight as of this morning!!!! I'm soooo pumped! I tried on my string bikini that I've never been able to wear and it actually fits! I'm 14.5 pounds from goal and beyond thrilled at what's to come.

My boobs and ass droop more but no really loose skin. I guess I'm blessed with good genes and I was a slow loser.

You should be very very proud of yourself. WELL DONE you look fresh and alive and its fantastic!

You and I are similar in body type..I am 5'0" and wear a six as well. Its really nice to get a perspective on how it looks on someone else because when I look in the mirror all I see are flaws.

that is amazing....what a transformation. I am scheduled for my surgery Feb 3. I have never been a size 6 and can't even imagine I could ever be that thin. Have you ever been that size? Hard to imagine it is even possible for me. I hope so though! I would love the clothes I could wear as a size 6!!!

I've never been this small. I never thought it was possible. By the time I reach goal I'll be in a 4!!!!

Soon enough, soon enough! It's such an amazing transformation you will feel. I have never ever thought or dreamed I would fit into a size 29 men's jeans! Well I am now! Best of luck to you and please keep us updated on your progress!

Congrats to u! About 6 mths ago, I went into Old Navy and found some cute white skinny jeans for $7 on the clearance rack. Went into the dressing room with 10's and 8's, knowing the 10's would probly be the ones that fit.

Walked out with size 6's! They became my fav jeans ever! I think they must've been mistagged, hence the clearance rack! Wow, u got 4 items! They must've been labeled correctly!

WTG!! Feels great to slide into a single digit!

I can officially and comfortably fit a size 6. I know own 4 articles of clothing in that size. Hahaha it just amazes me. I just got this skirt from express on clearance. I'm so ready to rock it!

Congrats on your new clothes size.

Thank you all so much I always tried to take care of myself regardless of size but I've never truly felt beautiful. I still struggle with body image issues. Plus I've always gravitated towards abusive men who put me down so that makes it worse. I'm trying to break the cycle and be healthier and love myself. I'm going back to therapy and psychiatrist. I appreciate your compliments.

Keep up the counciling I know it helps. I don't know if you suffer physical and mental both or one or other by itsself neither is good but broken bones, and brusies heal. Mental abuse stays in your head and is like a tape recorder it's harder to overcome but you can do it. On a peice of paper write I am a beaufiful person, I am worth while, member of society. I matter I am a strong person I matter. Put this on your mirror where every time you go to the bathroom you will see it. Because you are a strong , beautiful young woman who does matter to your family and friends.Don't let any man tell you different. God Bless and keep up the hard work.

I'm literally in tears! Thank you so much! I needed to hear that. You are sooooooo right emotional abuse is toxic and sooooo damaging. I am trying to take the reigns back and fight for my health and love of self. My son needs me too much. He's seen too pain and too many tears in such a short life. I'm healing myself. I'm building myself up. It's so hard when I have to fight my own evil thoughts about myself and then fight the words echoing in my head that so called men who "Loved" me have said. Nobody deserves that.
