Not too bad. You are really lucky to have avoided major skin issues. You should see mine. I look more like a melted candle. LMAO!

Don't you feel like you've been freed via VSG? That's how I feel about my wl (despite the nasty side affects of my surgery).

You look amazing! Even if you don't want to wear a bikini yet, you could seriously rock a tankini or one-piece or something. You are so tiny! I hope I have your success!

 Thanks, I'm working on toning up! Hopefully more stomach mucles will help with the strech marks!

I think you look good. (sorry looked at this thread yesterday couldn't see the pics) Question for you. How did you get your abdomen and arms looking good? i am hitting the gym 3-4 times a week and i am not seeing much of a difference (i am 4 weeks post op)

 Great job on getting to the gym!!! 4 weeks post op I was probably sitting on the couch griping about my stomach hurting and not being able to eat a darn thing! 
To be honest, I didn't start working out intensively until early January. 
Arms were never really my issue as a pre-oper. I carried almost all my weight in my stomach and legs, but even legs weren't horrendus.
I stick to a mostly protein based diet: and mostly chicken at that. I, however, am not a carb hater!! I eat carbs with probably every meal. I try to do the 3 bites protein- 2 bites vegetable- 1 bite carbohydrate rule. 
GYM:
Monday & Wednesday: elliptical machine for 45 minutes, averaging 150ish(?I forget now..) steps per minute and (at my weight of 157ish) burning about 450 calories.. sorry this is kind of vague. I always program the machine on "variety" or "performance".. whichever changes the incline and resistance automatically.
Tuesday & Thursday: Lacrosse practice.. basically running around for 1 1/2 hours. Also a good arm workout because you use your upper body to hold the stick and arms to shoot.

So I'd say I work out 3 times a week.. not great.. but a good starting point. 
I also go to school and have to walk around a fairly large campus. I probably do maybe 3/4 of a mile average per day on campus.

PS, part of the reason I look tiny is because I'm laying down and my rib bones and hip bones stick WAY out! I really AM "big boned".. I am in between sizes 8 and 10, closer to a 10 though.

Hope that helps!
