I, too, had surgery one week ago. In U.S.A. I'm seeing where some lose so many 'stones' ????? Are stones a certain weight? So far, since liver diet, I've lost right at 20 lbs. Still on full liquid diet, craving something more solid too :-) Go for follow-up visit day after tomorrow. Feeling great, had NO pain at all, just sore.

So...4 months out and (almost) 4 stones down...the before and after photos are at 3 stone off, I look SO different again, just need to take a pic.

I have lost 12 inches off my waist and 14 off my 'mum tum' (its flabby flap has gone from 3 inches of sag to under 1/2)

I am lighter than my other half...therefore no longer the heaviest in the house *high 5*

I have lost the combined weight of my 4 year old, the cat and 2 of our hens

I buy a UK size 16 off the peg (previously a 22)

I have just applied for and got a job which I wouldn't have dreamed of even applying for 5 months ago...start tomorrow eek!

My 4 teens are super proud of my new look and (though they aren't consciously doing it) are actively spending more time with me around their friends...and my 4 year old is thrilled with my new energy levels.

I'm away to take climbing instruction and have joined 2 groups to learn that and ukulele...and am involved with sorting a 20yr reunion for my high school (a stark contrast from my previous very anti-social self)

I have legs...really nice ones...I have always totally viewed them as my worst asset and had no idea that these shapely beings existed beneath my previous tree trunks.

My boobs are no longer my best asset...this really worried me pre-op as I was massively defined by them...you know what??? I don't care (and neither does he)!

I can go buy vintage clothes...and they fit...and they look amazing (hand knitted 70s dress from a charity shop is my absolute favourite buy)

The skin looseness is nothing like I thought it would be

Learning that food is fuel and not enjoyable is hard and the mental process behind it isn't a nice one...but the feeling of accomplishment helps more than I could have ever believed!

I love yoga!

This is the best investment I have ever made in myself...I am just so, so happy! yes...there are negatives, but they are far outweighed by all the zillions of good stuff :D

So inspiring and makes me more excited for my upcoming surgery, which hasn't been set yet until I finish 2 more physician supervised appointments. Keep us posted with these great photos!

What a wonderful transition you have made! And, in only 4 months. You look terrific!

The situations that have changed for you are just the ones I look forward to changing for me. Being social, being more active, shopping for clothes because I WANT to not because I have to.

You've shown that the hard work pays off greatly!

CONGRATULATIONS!!

Thanks much for sharing. More evidence of how this surgery is life changing! Wonderful to hear not only of the physical changes but also of the emotional ones as well.

I have a lot if anxiety issues and so many stem from wanting to join certain groups but being afraid th hat I won't fit on because of my weight or how I look. You're experience let's me know that these things are another option post surgery.
