Every day I'm so grateful that I chose this surgery to better my life. I'm down 57lbs as of this morning, wore a size 14 jeans last night (cant even tell you the last time i wore a 14!) and I'm feeling amazing. I'm not as self conscience about going out or taking pictures. I notice I can keep up with my nieces and nephews when only 5 months ago I couldn't. I'm physically, mentally and emotionally in such a better place and I'm enjoying life so much more than before. There have been some bumps along the way but I wouldn't change it. Thank you all for helping me get here. Even if I don't comment often, I do read this thread every couple of days and you're all inspiration for me so thank you.

I have finally made it to the "teens"...219.6. Down 7lbs. Only 20 more to onset land. Can't wait.

I really hate auto correct...should be 77 lbs and onederland...uh

We're so close, Dorian, I weighed in at 240 this morning, yay! My ultimate goal is 180, but if I see 199 I'm going to be ecstatic.

We're in this battle together, everyone stay strong and remind yourself hourly if you have to, why we started this fight...Keep up the hard work!

Great job on the weight loss! When was your surgery??

I hear you about 199. Havent seen that in years. I already feel so much better that I guess it really doesnt matter where I end up. I picked 150 on my own but think 175 or 180 is more realistic for me. Guess we will see where it stops. Just wanna get my back fixed! Thats my main goal. And of course looking better is a perk!

My surgery date was April 2 this year.

Today was a rough day of hunger. I thought it was never going to end.

You are looking amazing!

Alright, here goes with the comparison pictures.

#1-I don't have many from before surgery. I really hate this picture but shows the old me.

#2- this was about a month ago. I was down 80lbs at this point.

#3- was last week. Down 120lbs.
