Not sure you can tell from these pics but pre-op weight was 230 (227 after three day liquid diet pre-op). Now 187. Went from size 20 to a size 12 although I am apple shaped so I have lost EVERY pound in my ass and legs it seems like! Can't wait to see what the next three months brings!

Lookin good! Congrats on your weight loss and keep up the good work! That's a fantastic accomplishment. You should be very proud of yourself.

You can DEFINITELY see the weight loss. You're doing great! Beautiful before and beautiful now! keep up the good job

akreese02 how are you feeling?

Congrats on your weight loss!!

How long until the pain subsided?

Did you vomit post op?

@Onesleevedmamma- thanks for the encouraging words!

@busylizzy- I feel great now! I was really tired until I was able to eat solid foods. Only time I vomited was after taking a bariatric choice multi-vitamin (heard they are really potent but I can handle them now).

When did you start having bowel movements?

My surgery was Friday and I still have not gone to the bathroom ????

About a week later and that was after taking Milk of Magnisia and stool softeners. I still struggle with constipation on a high protein diet but if I drink smooth move tea every other night, it keeps me regular!

Oh I can definitely tell! You look stupendous! Congrats, all your hard work is certainly paying off!

Awesome! Good job.

Looking good!! Congrats on the weight loss! I know what you mean about being Apple shaped and loosing it all in butt and legs. That's me too!

Great job!! You look awesome! I am right behind you at 2.5 months post op. I'll post my 3 month pics soon.
