@@livvsmum,you look amazing,wht was yo size before/after and how long did it take, I will b 2 months post op on the 1st and its coming off slow.

Thank you! I started out at a size 18/20 and I am now a size 2. Never would have thought that possible. I lost quite quickly, reaching my initial goal of 145 in 10 months. Since then (I'm now 22 months post op) I've lost an additional 16 pounds, putting me at a "dream goal". But those last 15 pounds took quite a while to get off, probably because I wasn't really trying to actively lose at that point. This seems to be where my body has settled. Good luck to you!

Hello! My name is cassandra and i had my VSG july 22nd of 2013 weighing in at 254lbs. The pics in the purple shirt were taken 2 days ago weighing in at 146.8 i have now been working to tone my body where as before i was always focused on my weight loss. I am currently doing the insanity workouts which i never in a million yrs thought i would be able to do! I am back on track with going to the gym in s regular basis. I do log my food intake again because i need to eat more frequently since i did not stretch my stomach back out to a normal size my dr said it is still slightly smaller. I do want to lose about 5 more lbs but i am happy at where i am. Ive had no complications. Its definitely a lifestyle change and im beyond happy i have made the decision to do so! I love it. It is a tool. You still put in the hard work to achieve your weightloss/fitness goals. From what ive read through you all look amazing and keep up the hard work. It pays off!

Went out for a nice dinner with hubby last night. He insisted on taking a pic when we got home, lol.

Ok, silly question - I've reached my surgeons goal - I'm now getting the "too skinny" comments. Yes? No?

I tend to think it's because folks remember me as a size 24...

You look great!!! Not too skinny!!! Ignore those comments, most of the time it's out of jealousy and not out of concern.

Heck when I was dieting I got within 50lbs of goal. I couldn't fit anything beyond a 12 and people thought I was getting too skinny.

It's perception and comparison to where you started. You look amazing and those arms!!!

No!! You look FANTASTIC! Don't worry about what other people say. As long as you and your doctor or happy, that's all that matters. :-)
