Wow. It has been 11 months since my surgery. I can't even wrap my head around all that has happened. My starting weight was 285 and I now weight 195. My weight loss went super fast at first then it seemed like somewhere in September it just said eh I'm done. Which is hard. Harder than I thought it would be. My parents payed for the whole surgery out of pocket and when they ask if I have lost anymore weight I feel like sh*t. I am also at the time where exercise is important to keeping up your weight loss and I can't exercise. Before surgery i had major back pain so the doctors told me i had to lose weight. I lost most of the weight but the pain got worse. So they finally x-rayed and saw i have juvenile degenerative disc disorder. I also had fractures up and down my spine. I have also just been generally unwell. I can't work, I can't go to college. I can't exercise. I am just stuck. its also hard not to turn to my old habits because i was an emotional eater and if i hadn't had the surgery i probably would eat everything insight. So I'm still very grateful to have had the surgery and I'm sure my back would be a million times worse… but its still hard. Sorry for my boring update but hopefully my next one will be a little more exciting.

It hasn't been easy but I'm happy. I've had some ups and downs the past few months and I just now can see a difference and I'm loving the new and improved me

thank you so much

Thank you

I have lost 70 pounds. I started at 285 and now I'm 215.

hey you can message me anytime!

I have lost 18 pounds since surgery and 30 pounds if you add the 2 week pre diet

hahaha I guess I'm a pretty extreme person

The past week has been very hard for me. I stopped losing weight and I was worried I wouldn't lose anymore. So long story short I got very depressed which I have had problems with depression. Well today I was on the highway and four cars in front of me wrecked and two of the cars came sliding towards me and some how I moved just the right way. Honestly I have no idea how I did it and the way the cars were coming my car would have flipped over a bridge. ( no one was injured) but I had the realization that life is precious and I'm only 3 weeks out of surgery and I have a lifetime left.

Hey I'm 17 almost 18. I would love to join!

She has a pool so I will be showing of for sure.

Hahaha If only I had the guts. She is the most controlling person I have ever met.

Thank you. And grandmothers are crazy and I can't let her get to me.
