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

Congratulations! You look great.

Was the blonde hair part of the costume or did you change your hair color since surgery, too?

You look amazing!
