6 months!!! Picture Heavy!!!

Hi guys, I just passed my 6 month mark and thought I'd make an update.
So in 6 months I went from 218.8 (Day of Surgery) to 147.8. For the past two months I have lost an average of 5lbs per month, last month -3 inches, this month -5 inches.
I started @ a size 24, and now am a size 6, my biggest pants are a 7 . My shirts went from 3XL to Small (mostly) and Mediums (very few)
I am soooo happy with my VSG choice!!! I dont regret it at all, it's been alot of work. I work out ((and hard too)) alot, but honestly it could be more.
I hope you guys enjoy the pictures, I am sooo happy with my new body!!!! My outlook on life is sooo much better and for the first time I feel alive!

Amazing! You have totally rocked your sleeve! Congrats!

If you fear nothing, then you love nothing. If you love nothing, what joy can there be in life?

Simply amazing! You look wonderful and you do not have skin problem. That's great. Hey, you lost more than I did in 6 months after surgery :-) But I am not jealous. I am very proud of your progress.
