18 mths postop today! minus 160 lbs..so far...

Just sharing a few photos..for anyone new to the boards.  You'll learn to recognize me...i post photos ALOT..lol  I am just so happy with all the changes that have happened, and I want to share with everyone what is possible.

I have lost 160 lbs so far..starting at 354 lbs..today i weigh 194 lbs..

my restriction is still very great...i can eat 2oz of dense protein (chicken tenderloin) and that is a meal for me.  I am still losing weight..lost 8 lbs this past month..just following the protein first..and exercise (walking mainly).  I love my sleeve!!

Wowsers!!!  You've lost almost an entire adult male!  You must feel just fantastic -aside from looking wonderful!

Thanks for the pics - they are so motivating for me.

I love your photos!  Keep 'em coming!

You are one of my VSG heroes.

 You look great Dawn.  Your photos are truly inspirational.  Congratulations on your success and future success.  Love my sleeve!

I love it. You look great. Thanks for sharing.

You've done so well Dawnie, you must thrill yourself daily.  Congratulations!

Way to go! You have been one of my inspirations since before I had surgery, and I love that you're still succeeding 18 months out.

I just got my husband to take my 6 month shot and can't wait to post it (2 days), but just wait until I get to onederland - I'll probably out-do you in photo posting!

You rock! always an inspiration. Think 'stall busting' thoughts for me. I think i'm having my very first one.

Thank you for this! The last 1 1/2 weeks have been rough adjusting and I need things to remind myself that this will all be worth it! Your pics definitely prove that!

Keep up the good work,

You look so wonderful Dawn!  Such a youthful appearance too!  I really notice your lovely eyes now more so than before too.  It's like you unzippered a much younger person from your suit!
