Best decision I ever made 107 pounds and several sizes later I'm officially on maintenance. It wasn't easy and I'm trying to figure out how to maintain. I can honestly say the lifestyle change and the confidence and than realization that I am worth it and deserve it has been the most gratifying outcome of the surgery. I started at 254 on 1/30/14 and I'm at 146 today. The support from my husband, kids, family and friends has been amazing. I chose only to tell close family and friends. This site has been a life saver. I am on it daily although I don't post often. Thank you all for sharing your stories they truly help and continue to help me daily.

Congratulations you look great keep up the good work

you look wonderful and very happy! thanks for sharing your success, and let us know how maintenance goes.

Congratulations! You look amazing!!! I'm one month out and in a stall and these are the kinds of posts that motivate me to stay positive and realize it's a journey but a race. So thank you for sharing

Wow...Great job!!

So pretty, confident, and much younger than before!

You look exceptionally amazing. Congratulations!

What an astonishing difference in your appearance. And your post is completely inspiring.

This journey is never over, is it? It just keeps going. WLS, weight loss and maintenance just seems to be a never-ending bit of yoga that teaches us so many more lessons than the ones about body size.

I'm so grateful for my sleeve and these endless opportunities to learn about life.

Congratulations you look great.

You look mahhhvelous!

Wow that's great!
