I posted this earlier in a thread on our May 2012 thread - not everyone pokes around in the monthly threads so I thought I would cross post here as well.

I have never posted a pic - and have said that I would wait until I was at goal to post one, but bah what the hey - these photos of myself and my dear husband (who also had vsg two weeks before me) are from right before surgery (May 8, 2012 - DH) and May 21, 2013 for myself. We are feeling great and hubby is working hard on building muscle and fitness, and I am still losing and also upping the exercise. I still have about 25 lbs to go to get to the upper range of my goal at 140 - which is a healthy BMI.

I used to wear a 3-5x on top, 2x pants - now I am wearing a size 8 (!) jeans - and range in size from 8-12 in tops...where I used to just buy the largest thing online and hope that it fit, now I have to try everything on an have become very particular about the way clothing fits :)

Not great at adding images but here goes.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
