Creating a new thread because the other one has gotten really long.

So, here are my before and currents to keep the topic moving.

Current as of last week:

dude! your (what i think is a godflesh) and death shirts. two of my favorite bands. you look great!

Thank you! It's a SepticFlesh shirt though, but I am not against giving a spin to Streetcleaner once in a while!

Wow... just browsing this thread and I can't think of anything else to describe it! Congrats to all of you on your wonderful progress and transformations. This thread is definitely a motivator for me. Can't wait to reach my goal!

@AJKMMC15 You look fabulous. So toned and fit! We have about the same stats. If you don't mind me asking, what size are you wearing now? I totally understand if you don't want to answer or prefer to PM me. I'm having a hard time with my body image and have been trying to hunt for someone whose stats are similar. I am currently wearing a size 6 in Old Navy and Levi's jeans, but those are getting baggy.

I just had my slevee sugery done on May 4th. How long will it be until i can eat soft food? How much weight have you lost? You look great. I am still sore and tired

Your surgeon should have covered that with you before the surgery, but I believe you are looking at about 2 to 4 weeks before you are moved to soft solid foods phase post surgery. Again, every doctor has a different recommendations so its best to error on the side of the guy/gal that took out your tummy vs a bunch of people that are on an online forum.

Sorry to post more, but I love it! [emoji13] [emoji11] [emoji1]

One of my big fears before surgery was what the scars would look like long term. This is a few days after surgery and 1 year later. I'm happy with it!

A work in progress. 285 > 182

I still don't have any full lengths not in gym clothes. After spending so many years hiding from the camera it's hard to get used to taking photos!

Here is a split screen. The picture on the left was from 2015 one year after backing out of surgery the first time. It was the picture that persuaded me to revisit the idea of getting surgery again.

Before: October 2016, highest weight 240. 224 on day of surgery. Size 20, 2xl

Now (8 month post gastric sleeve) 145, size 6/8, small.

Living life and life is good!!
