Here's my most recent pic! Almost 8 months post op now. 120 pounds lost, 13 to go to goal!!!

I started on March 18th 2013 at 6'2" 398. Now I'm at 229....

Here are my before and after pics. I was sleeved december 2 2013. 75 lbs lost so far.

Ahh, just would like to share a little more of my journey !: The past six months have transcended my highest hopes. This surgery was, by far, the greatest decision Ive ever pursued. I started out as a miserable, girl hidden within a body that served as a prison. And after shedding over 100lbs in under 6 months, after not being able to walk on a treadmill for 20 minutes to now being able to RUN ... FAST for 45mins - 1 hour. After squeezing into size 20 jeans to Now having my size 12 jeans starting to fall off of me. I am finally free. My body is , for the first time EVER, matches the mental image i have had of myself. One day I was walking towards a shop and the reflection in the glass startled me. I was wondering why there was a pretty, thin looking, woman coming towards me ? It was me. I had not recognized myself. By the end of this months I will be a proud member of ONEDERLAND!! (Only THREE pounds away!!) . My sister had her VSG done one month before me. My two cousins had gotten there VSGs done in December & one in February. Therefore I have had the best support system i could have ever imagined. One girl who was my friend completely ignored my calls & such immediately after I was released from hosp after surgery . She was always morbidly obese & I think she was just upset that she wasnt able to be approved for her surgery (she was opting for sleeve) Months go by and have not heard from her . Then recently she adds me on twitter and tumblr writing all these things like 'I am so glad I didnt get the surgery like u taking the easy way out , u are a weak freak haha' . Mind you this girl is 5'0 and over 300lbs. I laughed even though it got under my skin. Certainly this surgery is no easy way out. Well yeah

Did you have any stalls? How often did you work out ? Did you have issue with your Protein and Water Intake

I started at 356lbs. My new life started on Dec 18, 2013. I am almost 5 months post and am now 264lbs. Down 92lbs and loving life so far. Cant wait to hit my goal. I am 45yrs youn, 5'9", and my goal weight is 170. I have been absolutely blessed and have had no complications whatsoever. I follow the plan given me and dont deviate. I workout 5-6 days a week. Good luck to all our fellow sleevers.
