Before and After Pics

I was sleeved on August 2, 2012. I weighed 270lbs the morning of surgery; my highest known weight was 286lbs in June 2012. I know I enjoy seeing other people's pictures, it helps encourage me, so I have decided to share some of mine. I still have a long way to go but I am so happy with my weight loss thus far! 

 My birthday, May 2012, weighing around 286 size 22/24. November 2012, 3 months post op, weighing 217 size 16.

 May 2012 and December 2012 (198.8lbs size 14- I was sooo excited to reach ONEDERLAND!!). 

Darn. I can't see them. 

I am trying to post them on my profile now because I know some people have trouble seeing them on the forum. 

what a difference!!!!!!!!!!!!  I want that top you have on.  You and the top are just beautiful.  Keep up the good work.

Looking Great! I'm getting sleeved (if insurance says ok) on 12/31! Can't wait. 

You look great! Keep it up! May I ask how you are doing with loose skin? You look great!

The loose skin isn't really a problem right now. But I can already tell that I will want plastics. I am young, only 22, so I was told that loose skin shouldn't really be a problem for me. Toning is key, I plan on starting to really work on it starting in January. 

Congrats! You look great! Can I ask how tall you are? Your starting weight and pre-op sizes are the same as mine.  I am going to shout it from the rooftops when I can wear a size 14.

Thanks! I started at 5'5, I have shrunk to 5'4 now. I am so happy to be in a 14 and in ONEDERLAND! I can't remember the last time I weighed under 200. 

WERK GIRL!!! YOU LOOK GREAT!
