Thank you all for posting your amazing Before and Afters. It is such a huge help! My surgery is next week, this is really helping me stay excited and committed to my preop diet. I will reference this thread while I'm sitting in the waiting room for my name to be called.

@sassypants Wow you look great. you are an inspiration for me too. I am only just six weeks post op and my appearance has already changed a lot after 33 lbs loss. I have a big lower stomach and wondering how you lost your stomach...(sorry no offense intended... I have a smaller waist but a large lower abdomen from having children) Did you happen to have plastic surgery on the abdomen? I'm hoping I can get that done later when i lose my weight. What kind of diet did you stay on post op.... low carb? Thanks.

OMG. You have amazing results. I am just 4 days post op. With my Hw of 372. During this process. But my overall HW was 393. Would you mind telling us of your stats and timeline. You are an inspiration

Thank you for sharing

I would if I knew them lol

Its not something I kept track of honestly I just knew I lost weight every time I was weighed and that was good enough for me.

The only time I happen to write anything down was when I was 2 months 8 days out and I had lost 106lbs in that time 119lbs pre and post overall.

On the 20th I was at the docs and I was down another 11lbs, which took me under 200lbs and a total overall weight loss to date both pre and post op of 227lbs

How on earth did you lose 106 lbs in two months and eight days? Amazing!!! I have never heard anyone that lost this much in such a short time.

You are inspirational.

I love to share my success with other sleeves who understand and don't think I'm just bragging. (Yes, I've gotten that)

Wow! @@Stephannie you look incredible

Can you post your start weight, how much you've lost, height and how far out you are?

How are you finding hunger levels now?

I am preop (conversion from band to sleeve) and worried about all kinds of things including... what if I have the surgery and then 3-5 years out the hunger returns and I can eat more and I regain all the weight again?

Thank you!

I am 39 years old

Start weight 246

Height-4 ft 11and 1/2

Current weight 124

(I got down to 117 at one point but was too thin)

I'm a size 2 and started at a 22 :)kinda crazy

My surgery was 12/13/12 I lost the weight in 9 months and have been maintaining since. It's been a wonderful journey. I still eat the foods I want just in moderation. I have never been. Big fan of exercising and as a working wife and mother of 5 simply don't have the time so no workout regimen to share.
