I lost 40 lbs before surgery and the intake nurse at the hospital actually tried to talk me out of having the surgery saying I didn't have that much to lose. I literally wanted to hit her. She had no idea of what I had already gone through in my life of weight loss struggles. I had 70 more pounds to lose and wanted it to stay off forever. I was approved for surgery by the surgeon and by my provincial health care plan, so really it was no ones business but my own. And that's exactly what I told the nosy nurse in January of 2014.
I am now 11 months post op and am at 145lbs. 5 lbs from my goal. I wear size 5/6 jeans and can share clothes with my 16yo daughter. As opposed to the size 24 pants I wore previously.
So really, just because we are lightweights, doesn't mean we don't matter or that we don't "deserve" surgery. We have our own struggles and weight related health problems. ( we also have feelings too)

I will be one year post op in January. I can eat pretty anything. Just in very much smaller portions. I avoid fatty foods and high sugar foods as they make me Dump or feel ill. Otherwise I'm feeling like I can eat fairly normally which was what I had hoped for.

It is a great feeling when someone from your past tells you how amazing you look. Gives me a kick anyways!

You realize that underneath all that fat was actually a small framed person. It's still weird for me that I fit a size 6.

Current weight 145lbs.
Largest pant size 24
