And I hit my goal!
Sept 21/15 - Oct 31/16
Lots of hard work.
Many sacrifices.
Lots of self talk.
Much dedication and self motivation.
But it was all worth it!
The time flew by and I can't believe I am where I am just 13 short months after my Gastric Bypass surgery.
I saved my own life and will thank myself everyday.
I wasted too much of my precious life and now I'm gonna make up for it!
Turning 41 in a couple days and I've never felt better, happier, healthier and of course lighter!!!
Thanks for all that have traveled along this journey with me!

10 months Post Op 118 poounds down!

I am 24 wk post band to gastric bypass found these photos of my son and I down 164 pound my son lost 46 with diet and exercise oh how we have changed

Good to hear you're both going well
I'm having surgery in Adelaide on 17th May, so I go as well as you have

You look amazing!
I won't ever be seen in a 2-piece, as my tummy is where all my loose skin is, and I won't be able to afford plastics. I'm also ridiculously short-waisted and probably would look silly in a bikini even with a flat stomach. I'm just hoping to get my upper thighs toned up to a point where I feel comfortable wearing a suit without a skirt to it.

There is about a 120lbs difference between these 2 pictures. Before picture was taken November 7th, 2014 and the after picture was taken today, September 13th, 2015

I hit my goal weight of 160 today! I still want to lose another 5 lbs so I'll have a bounce range.

where did you go? Lol

In preparing for surgery, every evening consists of research for me. Whether it be browsing threads on BP, watching videos on YouTube (actual surgeries & success stories, etc) , following WLS people on Instagram for meal and excercise ideas, watching My 600 lb Life, and now Fat Doctor.
I just have to say- Fat Doctor hits home the most for me. Dr. Summers is my favorite part of it all! His outlook on obese patients is heartfelt. I absolutely love to listen to him talk about the obese and what contributed to their weight gain. He also discusses how society views "fat people" and the prejudice they experience. Fat shaming is a real thing and I know we have all experienced it on at least one occasion. I guess I respect this doctor more because I have been to doctors who chalked excercise and dieting up to being a cake walk and not understanding my lack of success or believing that I was fully dedicated to the program. I have PCOS and while I don't blame it 100% for my weight, it does play a significant role in my inability to lose weight. My younger brother who pitches in the minor league (very fit & healthy) thought something similar about me and my efforts. So when he was home in the off season last year, we walked every morning, went grocery shopping and cooked together (meal prepped for the entire week). He quickly realized that my body did not react to clean eating and excercise like it should and changed his entire perception. For the record, he was always loving and never disrespectful when addressing my weight. He just thought that I did not know how to determine exactly what my body needed to succeed. So, it's nice to see that Summers recognizes that there are multiple factors.
I highly recommend this show to everyone! I watch it on Hulu and I'm on season 3 out of...6 I believe? It truly does show the good, the bad and the ugly (and I mean...the UGLY). It's filmed in England so it took me a quick second to get used to "stones" over "pounds."
Oh....and it doesn't hurt that Dr. Summers is nice on the eyes
