16 weeks post-op tomorrow! My NSVs and new pic in profile.

I just had to post because I is how helpful reading people's successes were for me when I was in the waiting process. Tomorrow will mark 16 weeks since my VSG. As of today I am 71.2 lbs down from my pre-op diet. I have reached the glorious "onederland". I go to the gym or workout at least 5 days a week, something completely unimaginable before. I am RUNNING. Flipping running. And not just for a minute here and a minute there, but for 8 minutes at a time right now, working my way up. I never would have ever imagined myself running. Ever. I have gone from a size 24 and the last jeans that I bought (at my 50lbs down shopping spree) were a 16, and now those are even starting to become too big. I have moved out of the plus size section at the store. Y'all there are so many more options in the "regular" size section. I bought a pair of knee high boots that fit over my calves and even have some extra room. I am so happy that I made this decision to change my life and I have a friend that is going for her consult tomorrow!

I don't know how or post a picture in this thread, but there is a before and now picture in my profile. I guess I'm a dressing room selfie-er, because I was scanning my pictures on my phone and found 2 pictures taken in the dressing room at a store. The one on the left is from Feb/March 2014, and the one on the right is last week. I really couldn't see a difference in me in a mirror, but when I compare them side by side I can start to see it. So word to newbies just starting the process, get a good before picture, you'll thank yourself later. 

You look amazing you go gurl

Thanks!!

Thank you! You look amazing!   I have my surgery in 2 days!!! 

You will ROCK this!!

Congratulations on your great successes!  You should sign up to run a 5k :D  

I am! There's a color run in December that I'm signed up for! Can't wait!

Awesome!  I only go to races with my partner and he won't do "messy" runs so.. no color run for me.  But they look like fun times.  I did my first 5k in October and my next one is in March!

You look great!!! Congrats!!!

Thanks so much!
