as of today, I am down 101 lbs!!! I have been stuck at 99 lbs lost for a couple months now...I met my personal goal within 6 months...and hit my new goal of 135 a couple weeks ago. I have gone from a size 18-20 pants to a 5/6, 2-3xxl shirts to a Small. 44 DDD to a 34D bra. and I still can only eat about 3 oz of dense protein. I am so thankful for my VSG--it has changed me in so many ways! I look NOTHING like I used to! I still take second glances in the mirror when I see myself LOL. See my before and after pics below!

A big congratulations on your success and holy crap, you're right in that you don't look the same!  You were def pretty before and after, but if it weren't for your eyes and smile, I wouldn't have known you were the same person.

Other than your VSG(obviously), how did you work it to get such amazing results?

Thanks so much! I know everyone I know says if they saw me walking down the street they would not know me....I think I look completely different! I have never been able to do any sort of  protein supplements--I have always gotten my protein my eating meat---To this day, I still eat a very low carb, high protein meals and snacks--my snacks are usually left overs-- so each snack/meal is usually 25 grams of protein or so...Also, when I was trying to lose weight, I was doing cardio 5 days a week (10-20 min sessions of high intensity cardio) and since I hit about 145 or so, I work out 2 days a week 20-30 min on the eliptical and about 10-15 min strentgh training to maintain my weight loss...my dietician told me I needed to add in whole grain carbs so I can adjust--I started adding them in on occasion a few months ago....

Wow, you look amazing. I kept scrolling from before and after pictures trying to figure out if you were the same person. It's funny that I do the same thing when I look in the mirror. The VSG has changed many lives for the better and continues to do so. GREAT JOB
