Before/After 158 Pounds GONE! PICS

I had my VSG on January 23, 2013 and at that time I weighed 274 pounds. I am 5 feet tall.

This past year has been one hell of a year! I reached my goal of 125 pounds on December 23, 2013. And since then, I've continued to lose. I now weigh 116 pounds. I'm still within the normal weight range for my height, but I'm trying to stop losing weight now. I like having a little bit of a cushion in case I start gaining...but I still have a hard time eating enough to get enough calories to stop losing. I'm working on it though!

Here are the pics!

My son and I can both fit in that outfit now.

You are truly inspiring. Wow. I am barely beginning this journey. Haven't even gotten through my 6 months and requirements from the insurance company. I daydream about the day I can post my success story like yours. I cannot wait. I hope I do half as well as you. Thank you for sharing.

Amazing job!

You look awesome. I will be seven weeks post op tomorrow and hope that I have the same success that you have. Our measurements are almost identical, except I am 5'1. I lost 20 pounds on the three week pre op diet and weighed 275 the morning of surgery. Great job!

WOW!! You look great! Congratulations!

You look so happy! Congrats, you did an awesome job!
