This is more of a before and during, as I am not quite to goal. First pics were right before starting my pre-op diet in late June and the last pic is two days ago. Size 20-22 down to an 8 in less than seven months. Loving all of the energy I have now!

actually, you look great right now! I'm guessing at 5'8", you're pretty much at a normal BMI, too...

Thank you! Your results are spectacular! According to my smart scale app, my BMI is normal. If I did not lose another pound I would still be thrilled with my results, but there is just something about reaching my goal...I am not ready to quit pushing yet. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I am so happy with how I look and feel now. I am off of meds for diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. I am active. I like doing things again. Surgery was the best decision for me, and like so many others, my only regret is not doing it 5 years ago.😊😊

I am loving all of these before/after pictures! What amazing transformations. I think this is the first time I've seen before pics from @catwoman7 and @Arabesque. It's so motivating to see your success stories.

I like seeing them, too - I had this picture in my head of what Arabesque probably looked like - and it's great to see what she looks like for real!

These are such an inspiration. I'm 5 weeks out and have hit a stall, the scale did move some this morning, and I have been so discouraged. Every time I have lost weight in the past, I would stall after losing 20 lbs or so, and then gain 30. I love seeing the before and after pictures because I feel like with this tool, there is hope!! Thank you all for sharing.

These are a couple of my favorite before and afters 😊
Surgery was May 14, 2020
So I’m exactly 8 month out today!
Gastric bypass
Starting weight: 268
Current weight: 148
So that’s a total of 120 pounds gone! ❤️ I feel better than I’ve ever felt with have more self confidence and self worth! No regrets!
Congratulations on your surgery date!!! wishing you the best of luck!

Okay, I'll play along! I don't have a "before" pic that really represents how big I was, because I generally avoided being photographed back then. My before is from a chorus concert I did--and I will admit that I was wearing a "man girdle" at the time. (Cringe.)

I went from 250 to a low of 132 before bouncing back up to 142.
