This is our Goldendoodle we brought home around Christmas. Our boys are totally in love with her.

According to my scale and the BMI calculator this morning, I am no longer obese. I’m now in the overweight category for the first time in over 15 years. I’m just over 12 lbs from my initial goal and hoping to hit that mark at my 6 month check up appointment next month!

I was fortunate to have very little pain associated with the surgery. I stopped taking any pain meds the afternoon of the surgery. I only had some complications with bleeding that would cause me to become light headed, dizzy, and faint when sitting up or standing, so my stay in the hospital was prolonged by two days. Once the bleeding stopped, I was up and moving and ready to go home.

Great transformation! You can definitely see the difference. Favorite Snacks are almonds, string cheese, carrots, beef Jerky,

Here is a before and a current. I'm still early on in my journey, and would like to lose another 40 lbs or so until I hit my "goal weight." My highest was February 2017 at over 327 lbs, and the bottom pictures are of this morning at 226.2 lbs.

Most red meat. I can tolerate a small amount of ground beef.

Congrats to you, that is awesome! I had surgery 10/16, on surgery date I was 283 and was 222 this morning, and highest weight was over 327. That's over 105 lbs lost total and 61 in about 14 weeks. I was a size 44 waist going in, and am down to a 34 or 36 depending on the pant, and from a 3XL shirt to an XL or L shirt now.
I still struggle with image and forgetting that I'm now 100lbs lighter. Can I fit in that booth, or sit in that chair? It's not a problem now, but was such a habit of thinking that I am still adjusting.
I'm 27 lbs from my initial goal of 195 and hope to hit that by April 1st, and then we'll take it from there to see what a true goal will be. It's funny, I remember talking to my wife and saying that 250 will be a good first start, then 225, and now 195. That goal is near, and it feels great! I agree, best decision I've made.
Keep up the good work.

I've now lost over a 2 month old horse and have my eye on that newborn giraffe. Once I hit that, I'll evaluate and see from there! My initial goal weight of 195 is 28 lbs away and I can see it!
