Nine month post-op pics - down 96 pounds!

 I am sure loving my sleeve! The weight loss has slowed down a bunch, but goal is within my sights, and I couldn't be happier. :) 

If you have a strong heart, you can also visit my blog, where I posted before/after swimsuit photos. Eek. Brace yourself - it's better, but it ain't pretty. But pre-op, I couldn't get enough of before/after stories, and they are still such a huge source of motivation for me - I want to pay it forward as much as I can. :)

 Thank you so much, Amy! I feel younger, healthier, and happier, too! :)

You look amazing! Such an inspiration for me as a newbie that success will come! Thanks keep up the good work!

 Thank you!! You keep up the good work, too! It happens so quickly - just keep with your program and the months fly by and the pounds melt away, it's so awesome!

OM, I love the smile on your face.. and the small jeans!

Good job!!

 Thank you!! I loved looking at your pics earlier - you look fantastic, too! I am loving these small jeans - last time I put them on, there was no way I could fit them, not all that much later, I tried them on and they're almost too big! Woohoo!!

Wow...you look awesome and love the happy smile! Congrats for the weight loss and for posting pictures! I have not gotten to that point yet!

 Thank you so much!! When I was pre-op, I swear all I did was scroll through the forum here and any blog I could get my hands on, looking at before/after pics and dreaming of such a happy future for myself. I swore that I would do the same thing when I had surgery, because for me, it was just incredibly motivating to see! Post away!!

You look great, lovely smile
Look at them tiny arms on you now. Hard to believe that transformation in 9 months, keep up the good work.
