Hey y’all. It’s been slightly over a year since I had the sleeve. I’m 5’6”; my highest weight was 266 (size 20 pant, 2x tops), surgery weight was 259, and my current weight is 183. I currently wear size 12 pants, a large in tops (sometimes a medium) . Although I still have some lbs to go, I’m am VERY grateful and thankful for the surgery. I had the surgery for prevention purposes, had no complications either. I changed to a plant based diet and have been very happy and healthy with it. I take a multi vitamin, calcium, b12, and probiotics. I walk and do some home strength workouts.

Thats just a tid bit of my journey, I hope it inspires and encourages others. Enjoy my before and after!

Well done. Very inspiring.

Love that you did it vegetarian:) So healthy!

My diet isn't completely vegetarian, but I lean that way pretty hard.

Looking gorgeous. Congrats on the payoff for all that hard work!

You look amazing! Great job!

Woot woot!!!!! You're looking fabulous - both slender and strong! Thanks for posting your transformation!!!

Thanks. I’m happy I stumbled on to Dr Garth Davis, and others whom shared Dr Weiner, and Dr McGregor with me, to go this way. Totally sustainable for me and I highly advise it. ?

You didn't just take off pounds, you took off years. You look so much younger in the second photo!

@proudgrammy thank you hon! You crack me up about the age. Yes, I had to do something before all the problems started...unfortunately my mother’s obesity and her load of issues is what got me going, so I took something good out of it, for me. Anyway, thanks again hon.
