So I am coming up on five months post-op now... (Surgery date June 10th) I had VSG done and I have never been happier. I have had ZERO complications, no throwing up, now problems drinking fluids, no adverse reactions to any type of foods (except of course anything with too high fat or sugar), and I just broke through today a seven week stall I have been in!!!

This past weekend we had a halloween party and for the first time in my life I was able to buy a costume that wasn't PLUS SIZE and it felt great! :-) I'm just not used to buying size medium anything still! So here's some before and afters.. For the first time in my life I actually felt like a pretty girl at the party instead of hiding in the crowd!

Starting weight: 262

Surgery weight: 224.9

Current weight: 168

Height: 5'5"

Pants starting: 22

Shirts starting: 2XL/3XL

Pants current: 8

Shirts current: M/L

Amazing! You're such an inspiration!

Amazing you look soo good keep up the great work skinny girl!!! I bet u feel like a million dollas !

You look amazing Bravoooo

Thanks everyone for all of your kind and encouraging words!!! :-)

HOLY ****! Sorry, for the language, but seriously! LOOK AT YOU!!! I needed to see this today. Super inspiring. So happy for you. Keep up the good work!

Can I ask how often your working out and what you're doing?

Thanks!

Hey Pokey!

I can't lie but I really haven't been doing a whole lot of working out. I will do a little cardio here and there but that is about it. :-( I REALLY need to get on top of working out again in hopes that I can lose the last 18 pounds to reach my goal and hopefully work on some toning. But I have definitely been a bad girl and haven't been working out at all.

Your beautiful!

You are SPOOKY GORGEOUS

-RC-

Wow! Gorgeous! I am so anxious to get approved for surgery! I'm still doing all of the requirements needed by my insurance company. Today I did the barium swallow test icky!!! I have other stuff to do too. The one thing I'm not happy about is the 6 month supervised diet

You look great! Congrats!! And Happy Halloween!

This was a fun one … 1st : your a beautiful girl even before the sleeve

2nd : now your a "shock and awe" beautiful girl

This is why we all do it (okay most of us) to Look better, Feel better and start enjoying our lives to the fullest!

Always giving back.

An inspiration to us all.

You look great!!! Love the costume.

That's awesome...

Wow you look good

Damn.

All I can say is you are gorgeous.

I'll bet there wasn't a guy at that party that wasn't drooling and stumbling all over themselves to talk to you.

I'm proud of you for taking control of things while you are young. You will benefit from your actions for the rest of your life. Trust me.....old guy talking here......There are many problems you have eliminated from occurring by taking charge right now at this point in your life.

Well done, young lady. Well done.

That is really cool to see you not only enjoying going to the Halloween party.....but to be confused with a movie star at the same time.....really cool.

You look great.
