Good Day fellow members.

I'm from Windsor, Canada. I started my journey at 350lbs. I am almost 4 years post-op and RNY has been the best decision of my life.

Wow!! You look amazing and I'm sure you feel it too!!! Congrats to you! Your video made me kick myself again for not keeping up with good progress pics as I go through this journey. I'm 5 1/2 months post-op and have lost 130 lbs....have about 60 left to get to goal weight. I've only really took weekly pics for the first few weeks :-( Congrats again!!

I started at 348....down to 216 now. I've eaten what I'm supposed to.....drank lots of fluids and exercised a lot. Just followed all the rules ALMOST all the time.

Thats the key... excercise. For some reason, when you excercise at 350 pounds, it does nothing but if you excercise at 200 pounds you actually see a difference. You can actually see the scale move and that motivates you to keep at it.

I can only hope to have the same results! Im so excited. I cant wait to reach my goal

Stay focused and best of luck

Wow! What a wonderful transformation.

You will. Just remember to stay focused. Eventually you will re-teach yourself the proper way to eat and you will end up living a long and healthier life.

Best of luck

Wow you look fantastic!! What an inspiration you are to us all Did you start off exercising pretty soon after your surgery? I am pre-op and I have such a hard time motivating myself to exercise now.

Yup... pretty much immediately after surgery. In my first post-op summeri was walking 5-6km a day and brought it up to almost 10km a day by the end of the summer. Nowadays my summer walks are around 13-15km a day and i love it. Right after surgery I had a ton of energy... still do
