I started my journey on June 18, 2012 at 334.9 lbs, I was a very sad and sick woman who was not living, just existing. Well fast forward 6 months and I weigh 233 lbs (101 lbs), everything about my life has changed! I am loving my new life, enjoying my new body (so is my husband, he's like a kid on Christmas morning - every day!) and I love it! Thank you to Dr. King in Oxford, Mississippi, your my hero! The pictures below speak for themselves, the first two are before and are the most I ever weighed, the first one is the saddest I was ever in my life! The last two are last week (Dec 11) and I still can't believe it's me!

You can have the same results that I have had, you just have to do exactly what your dr says, don't eat anything that your not supposed to, work out all you can and I promise you the weight will just fall off. I just got home from my 1 year checkup, I have now lost 125 lbs and I still can't believe it! Here is my before and 1 year post op photos from the dr today (not after yet, still have 32 lbs to goal)

1. Great job. what was your exercise routine. I'm post op 2 months have lost 43 lbs but i think i got to exercise more
   

Wow!!!! Great job!!! Love the smile you have now!!

Hey girl. You look awesome. My surgery was 6/18/13 which was your 1 year post op. I pray I can lose 125 in a year too. I go for my 6 week checkup tomorrow and I feel my weight loss is being very slow. However I'm down 25 lbs but I did stall on my weight for about a week. So knowing alot of people do this doesn't get me too discouraged just yet. I just joined this site and anxious to see all the threads. Keep rockin it girl. U look amazing. ????

Thanks guys! I love all the support I get from this site! I'm now down 131 lbs and I'm not working out much these days because we just moved, we sold our house and are now building our dream home - a log cabin on a lake!
