Fishing for compliments.

In normal life it's frowned upon as if proof of a character defect,

however

I think our population could use the confidence boost in a safe environment. Some days I need it more than protein...

If you need it too, feel free to share your selfies or stories and feel the love pour in...

❤ Thank you ❤

I feel like there’s more of a difference than these two pictures show (besides the outfit and the lighting I don’t see a whole lot different between the two), but I’m getting close to a 60lb difference between these two pics and can really feel it! The first is from one or two days into the two week pre-op diet and the other is from yesterday.

Fishing for compliments and reassurance! ???

There is definitely a difference! You have a great figure with more definition now. You look fantastic ?

Whoa, that is amazing! You do look really smart in the before pics but now you look smart AND sexy. Love that dress, it must be so fun to try on clothes! Seriously, you look hot and I hope someone in your life tells you that every day! ?

Great idea!

I'm just so full as I write this because over the last 10 months, I'm down 108.7 lbs. I had a revision from the lap-band to SIPS and I couldn't be more happy. I did have some complications in the beginning which required a month long stay in the hospital, but even with that, I don't have any regrets! My life is on TEN!!!

Even though I have not shared publicly my WLS experience with friends, people seem to be genuinely happy for the new me. I've always socialized, but I'm even more eager to hang out with my friends, go on couples dates, business social settings, etc. because I can easily find something to wear and feel even more confident in myself.

I'm feeling great physically. No more back and knee pain. Off of all meds (blood pressure, cholesterol, symbicort breathing treatment) and off of CPAP machine for sleep apnea. Also, since having the lap-band removed as part of the revision, I no longer have acid reflux. While the vanity is great, the health benefits have me over the moon ecstatic! I'm sooooooooooo happy!

Congratulations on all the good things! I'm only 3 months out and it's unbelievable how much better I feel. I'm so happy to hear about your continued success. Nothing better than being happy and healthy (especially for those of us who were neither one for such a long time)

In the left photo (pre-op) , I was in my choir’s 80s concert. In the right photo (7 months post-op) I was in the play “You Can’t Take It With

I love the pics you chose! You really do look amazing!

Pre-VSG and post-VSG. I have lost 61 pounds and hope to lose 10-15 more.

What a great transformation. You look really good, and younger, for sure!

I see a huge difference! It looks like more than a 60 lb loss to me! But, my mirror plays tricks on me too. Sometimes it's hard to see changes in yourself but we're here to tell you, you look great!

Oh my gosh lady you look amazing you should totally be excited and happy!!! Awesome!! :)

I can't believe the difference everyone's weight loss makes them look so much younger! You guys look amazing.

Glitter Godess my favorite word from You can't take it with you! "Keck" was in it myself years back, maybe even played the same part!

All of you are totally inspiring me!! So awesome! I just had my first appt. with the surgeon so it won’t be til next year if I am approved but everyone is doing an amazing job!
