I'm now a few days short of six months postop. Down a total of 86lbs. (305 to 219).

First photo was day of surgery. I had already lost 16lbs on preop diet.

Second photo is today.

Third photo is my face at highest weight before preop diet.

My pants are size 14 (brand runs large). Top vest is a large. Undershirt is a tight medium.

Great job!

Yissssss! Loving this success of yours! Good job.

I'm excited and scared all at once. I'm so excited to have the surgery, but scared of failing.

Just keep in mind that your journey is YOUR journey. Not everyone makes it all the way down to "thin", but the scale (or even clothing size) shouldn't determine how you feel about yourself and journey.

This journey should be one of self-discovery. By the end of the first year or two you *hopefully* will have learned what normal portion sizes look like, your own weaknesses and triggers, and in general, how to navigate the world of food in a healthy way.

The only failure possible is if you don't bother trying to learn anything new. Same old habits bring same old results.

You look fantastic!!!

Awesome, you look wonderful. Congratulations [emoji177]
