  7. I had bypass on 4/23/18. My starting weight was 340lbs. I'm currently 221lbs. That's a total weight loss of 119lbs! I honestly can't tell you a time I remember being this small my entire life. I'm so happy! First goal: 250lbs [emoji818] Second goal: 225lbs [emoji818] Third goal: 199lbs ...*pending* Final goal: 160-170lbs I never worked out until this month. These last 22lbs until onederland are stubborn. I'm also doing keto and intermittent fasting. This surgery changed my life. I'm almost positive I would be closer to 400lbs by now if I didn't have this surgery.

  14. Girl, you got this! Let me know if you need any tips! 115lbs down, 8 months post op! I'm no pro, but I've been where you're at.
  15. I take pictures every first of the month. I shaved my head 9/1/18
  16. My hair started to grow back in literally immediately. It kinda pissed me off! For some reason when I had long hair all I did was lose it. I shave my head and BOOM growth.

  18. I can't even tell where the losses were previously but it's probably because I shaved my entire head lol
  19. Thank you everyone for your support and compliments! I'm not 100% a fan on my hair right now but it's coming along. I started losing my hair about 3-4 months after surgery. Honestly, it was my fault. I got sick after surgery and could barely eat. I didn't keep up with my protein and vitamins either. I lost a good portion of my hair within a month span. When I say I just a bald spot, I mean it was so bad that a top hair piece couldn't even cover it. I had no choice but to shave my head. I wore a wig at work and no one noticed. I hated these last 3 months but i'm happier now. Hair loss It'll be okay! Make sure you're keeping up with your vitamins, eating enough and getting in that protein!!! I was not.
  20. 340lbs to 227lbs! 8 months out. I'm hoping to be in onederland by my 1 year anniversary! (4/23)
  21. I'm at 234lbs... I didn't lose anything in November and half way through December i'm only a pound down. I've been in a stall for a month and a half. Old eating habits are starting to creep back in & I'm scared. I think i'm going to reach out to a therapist & a nutritionist. I don't want this opportunity I've been given to go to waste. I'm a total of 106lbs down & that's amazing. I never thought I'd be this far! But i'm ready to lose more. I want to hit onderland!
  22. You look like a completely different person!
  23. Thought I'd share some pics of my progress! Everyone is KILLING IT! keep up with the updates. They're motivating.
