Here's my one month post op pics. First pic is 1 day before wls, then today's pic

My weight-loss journey 10 months post op

updated down only 30 pounds a long way to go but it's fine this was a few weeks ago in down 10 more pounds since this pic

Just past my 1 year post op on Oct 15th! I, of course, wish I had lost more and have a hard time always seeing the loss, but I am feeling great! I am down 126lbs and hope to get off another 50-70lbs. Congrats to everyone on this journey! It is not easy or taking an easy way out. It has been difficult and emotional, but so worth it! Be proud!

4 months next week

Starting weight: 330
Weight on day of surgery: 309
Current weight as of today (1 month 3 days post op): 289.6

I followed my doctors guide for food. Drank proteins shakes and no sugar added Pops when I wanted a treat. Also made a lot of turkey chili and all vegetables chili with a lot beans for protein . Of course a lot of walking. I just started the gym last week to tone up now.

I've reached the 120 lbs. lossed mark right at 4 months since my prediet. I feel great and so blessed. I'm down from taking 19 necessary medicines with a diagnosis of congestive heart failure to taking 2 necessary MEDS with one soon to not be needed. I am pain free, happy, and walk and move around more than I have in 25 years. I used to weigh 447 and today I was 227. I am so blessed. I hope you see what I see. I had a super hard first 3 months post surgery. I am 56 and live in Florida. Love my family, exercise when I can and getting ready to starting lifting lightly again soon. God is good.... All the time!.... Just me.... Jim

7 months post op

I'm 2 years and two months out....

I guess I posted in the wrong place before.

@@toohot74akaelh2 The weight came off quickly but honestly very gradually- I would have weeks where I would lose nothing then randomly lose 6lbs but most of the time it was 2-3lbs weekly which is about what you're supposed to lose anyway regularly. I do work out a lot now (I didn't work out a lot during the losing phase though). I have sooo much energy to burn. I have an update pic I took with my doc on 5/5/15. He was amazed. He's so awesome. The before pic was day 2 postop on 10/9/13.
