Hi ladies, I thought I replied to this post but I think it went to cyber space. I am so excited for us. I spent the day looking at Protein options, preop diets, bought a scale, set up a journey book and checked out fitness centers. For the first time in my life 53 years of being overweight I am doing this for me. Having you as support is going to be wonderful. For dazimom my last name is Bourassa so I feel like we are meant to be friends. Let me know how you are doing!

My orientation is on April 18th. I'm in Ontario so it's covered through our health care but the whole process can take about a year. A girl on another board sped up her process a lot by calling the centre for cancellations for every appointment so that's wHat I'm doing. I was able to get my orientation moved up 2 weeks.

310 to 210 and a size 24/3x to a 12/L.
I'm two years out. I got down to 194 and I've gained weight (but not size) since I've been working out pretty frequently. All though I'm happy with my size 12, I'm still feel like I should be about 30lbs less but my doctor is happy and said not to stress about it too much because I have a large frame.

258 on left/128 on right
Will be a year on March 26th since gastric bypass

6 weeks post op down 40

7 months out from Surgery down 90 lbs

Before - October 2014
At 80 pounds lost - currently at 110 pounds lost.

I'm so glad I took pictures on the way down. It's a fun little exercise to put them together and compare. I do feel like I look just right at the moment when I look at these.

Pre band 2008, pre revision to bypass this January and on the right last week!

Started at 245is. Now 122. I'm 5'6.
I had surgery 9 months ago.

Thought I would post another update! Surgery was 12-12-12. Under 200 pounds finally

I reached my first big goal today! I am (barely ) less than 200 pounds! I am almost 4 months out and started at 266. Still have lots of work to do, but the changes have been amazing and it's so hard to resist over shopping, knowing I won't be wearing it long
