Wowzer, great work... Hold fast to your plan!!!

Beautiful! Congratulations!

You look amazing, well done.

So today is my one year surgiversary!! When I began this journey in the spring of 2012 I weighed 240 lbs and felt disgusted by myself. I can honestly say this surgery is the best thing I have ever done for myself. I am current at 150 lbs. my goal is to get to 140...

I am almost ten months out from my surgery now. The first pic here is me a year ago compared to now. I still have 14 more pounds to goal. Went from about 240 to 154 currently.

Cheri - thank you for posting this update and your beautiful pictures. I am nearing my one year mark and I am 12 pounds away from my goal. It definitely is harder to get these last few pounds off. I also love to read your posts and gain insight from your experience.

Congratulations! You look great!

I've learned a lot from this forum...so when my weight loss stalled yet again, I went back to basics yesterday. I drank a Protein Shake for Breakfast (30 gms protein), Greek yogurt for lunch (14 gms protein) and another Protein shake for dinner (30 gms protein). Got in my fluids all thru the day.
And guess what???? Down 2 pounds this morning. Woo hoo!!!!!

I went to work for my nephew who has a Deck and Dock business here in Tampa, Florida. He needed help packing Water retainers in 2 backyards. The job consisted of a dump truck dropping a huge mound of dirt in the driveway, the dirt being shoveled into heavy wheel barrows and wheeled to the backyard and dumped into the form, and then tamped down with a heavy tamper....all day.
I worked 6-7 hours a day, Monday- Wednesday with 2 guys in their 20's in 93 degree humid Florida air. My young fellow workers complained the whole time and took frequent breaks, even took off to McDonalds to "go to the bathroom". Old Gman just kept plodding along only stopping for Water and a Peanut Butter sandwich. I told them stories of my long life and had great fun with them.
It's been a year and a half since my surgery. I have lost 85 pounds since then, 115 all together. Before the surgery I could barely walk up the stairs. I have been working out for the last year, stepping up the intensity every chance I could. I didn't know if I could do this job, working out is quite different from working all day in blazing hot sunlight and stifling humidity.
I stood the test. I am 64.
