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:

Here’s me. Sorry for the shirtless pics but I think it helps show my luck with scars and loose skin.

Starting Weight: 268lb
Surgery Date: 10/30/17
Surgery Weight: 250lbs
Goal Weight: 180lbs
Current Weight: 144lbs

For the most part, I loosely stick to my food plan. I do venture outside of it often but I workout 6-10 hours a week, so it balances out.

I’m so glad I made this life changing decision! I love my new body and all of my health problems have gone away!

PS thank you Kaiser!

You look great. Keep up the good work.

Not much of a writer but these are from 2016 and 2018. March 2019 will be 3 years post-op.

Wow, you hit the loose skin jackpot, no one would ever know that you aren't just a naturally thin person, you have not one bit of loose skin!

Hey guys, thought i’d share a before an after pic. I was sleeved on 5Sep18, the red shirt is 171.3kg(376.86lbs) my highest weight pre-op and the green shirt is 127.5kg(280.5lbs) thats a total loss of 43.8(96.36lbs) my first goal weight is to get to 110kg(242lbs) and my final goal is to reach 100kg(220lbs). Never felt better about myself and this was the best life changing decision i’ve made in my entire life. I love myself more now, more self confidence.

Not quite at goal, but I'm beginning to think this is where I need to be. Total of 72 lbs lost in 8 months. I feel incredible inside and out. Finally broke down and bought much needed clothes.

Girl you look fine! I'm so impressed and happy for you! Hawt!

Just curious sleeve or bypass? Great job!

One year out from surgery.

oh my God! If this isn't motivational, I don't know what is! you've made phenomenal progress! You look great!

Can I ask - What do you think is the biggest reason for your weight loss success?

Transfer addiction. I was able to transition from a food addiction to a workout/fitness addiction. This tied back into food, because now I have the mindset that I don't want to eat food that sabotages my workout/fitness plan and goals.

Here's me at 3 weeks post-op, plus a little weight lost during pre-op surgery diet. Only about 15-20 pounds, but I can still tell a difference.

Here is my updated before and after set. 140.4 lbs loss between the first and last columns. I'll be looking into plastics as some point, but it's not *needed* really, just not overly jazzed about how I look naked. But I'm so happy with how I feel and how I look clothed.

Congrats @Matt Z--look at those abs coming up!!!! Wooohooooo!
