Hi 👋🏽 before surgery I weighed 305 lbs , I wore a size 22/24 and I'm 5ft 7in. Today, two years after gastric bypass surgery I'm 175 lbs, I'm still 5ft 7in tall, but I wear a size 10 now and I feel 👍 my only issue now is the sagging crepey skin hanging from my thighs and arms ucky really grosses me out 🤢 But I can't afford cosmetic surgery so I have to improvise by covering up all the time

Philadelphia, PA in the house!!!

Hello Everyone!!!
It's been a while since I posted anything but life has been great and on Friday at my doctor's appointment I got weighed and I have lost 102 lbs since my surgery on April 21st. On April 21st I weighed 285 lbs, today I weigh 185.6 lbs and I wear a size 14!!! I am very busy with school and working full-time and I'm only 12 credits away from receiving my bachelors degree in psychology. Life is definitely better when you subscribe to living a healthy lifestyle which includes exercising daily, eating clean, healthy food, getting your required amount of Protein, and drinking pleanty of good old Water. I walk five miles everyday and do strength training which includes sparring and yoga three times a week. I look good, feel good and I am grateful that I had all of you guys to give me encouragement that I could do this. I'll try to check in more often but to be honest I have so much energy now that doing anything that requires me to sit still is not an option. So for those of you who are still waiting for your surgery dates or to get approved for the surgery, be patient and don't give up; it is well worth the wait to live a happy and healthy life, God Bless You All!!!

Wow! I am excited, elated, and obliviously happy about my decision to have weight loss surgery! When I look at photos of me before and after surgery my first instinct is to praise God for the doctors who did the surgery and the nurses, heck all of the employees working in that hospital who made my surgery uneventful and ensured my speedy recovery! Next I get overwhelmed with emotion that ranges from crying and then laughing because after 20 years of being obese and unhealthy I am now healthy and a few pounds away from my goal weight. I am grateful for the support and information I get from all of you here and I thank my god that even though we are millions of miles aprat I consider all of you my family. To anyone reading this who is feeling unsure or afraid my wish for you is that you will not give up because you will love the new you just as much as I love the new me!!! I am walking fiv emiles every day and I can mop my floors withour any back pain or being overcome with shortness of breath. I am off of my blood pressure meds as they were causing my blood pressure to drop too low, my HC1 test is now ata normal range as I can no longer tolerate anything sweet, no articifical sweetners for me I only use blue guava Syrup (10 calories per teaspoon) when I need to sweeten a drink or my hot Cereal in the morning. Life is good for me and my family now as I am more active with my grands and great grands now that I am healthier. I pray that everyone experiences the same results or even better ones as you journey on the road to a healthier, happier you. God Bless

Hi Waneta35, I have several before and after pics on my profile page. I'm grateful for the surgery and I am celebrating the results thus far, but I do not wish to see them on this page. I never want to go back there and while for some seeing reminders of where they came from keeps them focused on moving forward....that does not work for me. so this is my celebration page where I focus on moving forward instead of looking back..... :lol:

Hi Waneta35, I have several before and after pics on my profile page. I'm grateful for the surgery and I am celebrating the results thus far, but I do not wish to see them on this page. I never want to go back there and while for some seeing reminders of where they came from keeps them focused on moving forward....that does not work for me. so this is my celebration page where I focus on moving forward instead of looking back..... :lol:

Congrats on the new you, you should post a picture of your before and after

That's awesome news! Praise the Lord! I hope you reach goal weight.

congrats!!! You have inspired me today, thx for sharing.
