15 months post op

Starting weight 575

Current weight 298

Keep showing up and putting in the word it's not easy but it's so worth it. You can tell when I started lifting. The last 4 pictures are the last 4 months.      

I saw one of buddies Dad at a event I go to every year in Tennessee. He took this picture of us to send back to my friend. When I saw it I couldn't believe what I had done to myself.

That was my it moment.

I realized even though I still did a lot even at 575# if I didn't do something soon my girls would not have me in their lives. I was such an angry person too. Simple things other people did upset me because I knew how hard it would be for me to do.

btw I'm 31 and wish I would have done WLS in my early 20's instead of YoYoing for so many years.

A little over 5 months Post op. 207# overall and 145# from surgery

Still a long way to go but it sure does feel good to be able to live.

First picture was taking 1 week before surgery second was 3 weeks ago.
