Before and After Pics



Recommended Posts

I had surgery on May 2nd. Highest weight 236 Current weight 168. I still can't believe this is me! For the newbies keep on going! This is the best decision I've ever made.

Dayum! You literally look like you stepped through a time machine. Gorgeous.

Today-- trying on a pair of size 6 pants...down from 24's exactly 8 months post op today. attachicon.gifImageUploadedByBariatricPal1479956648.582926.jpgattachicon.gifImageUploadedByBariatricPal1479956659.828222.jpg

Here is the funny thing... I knew I'd fit into a 6- and the only pair that they had was on a mannequin. Asked the sales clerk to take them off so I could try them on. She looked at me and tried to talk me out of it- saying they run very small. I repeated to her that I wanted to try them on and she obliged but kept repeating that they wouldn't fit, they run small.

Boom.

(I should add that I WAS wearing baggy clothes when I walked in...but STILL!!!)

Sweet!! You are rocking those size 6 cute pants!! Congrats, you look amazing! LOL about the sales person. Probably was just being lazy and didn't want to undress the mannequin.

There is already a huge long thread dedicated to before and afters.. but it is such a fun topic I don't mind repeating!! :)

This is what losing 150 pounds does for you! A girlfriend of mine said the sweetest thing "I didn't know you had a teenage daughter"...LOL. I do feel like I look younger being trimmer.

Taken within the last few weeks

This was taken in December i believe - I think I was 20# away from goal,back when I was a bit curvier. I was feeling pretty good, but, I like how I look better now even if my T&A disappeared since this photo was taken.

Hey y'all!!

Long time, no talk - training for a half marathon and work has been insane lately!

My two year surgiversary was November 20th, and I tried on my old Cotton Ball dress because it was hanging in my closet, lol. (Cotton Ball is a southern cotillion ball - traditional thing with debutantes, etc. - I was 17 when I did it).

Left is from my wedding <3 that dress is a size 28; the one on the right is a size 8 (I'm a 6 generally, but bridal does run small!)

HW: 330

CW: 150

No skin removal

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
