30 to 50 pounds?? You look very petite and fit to me!

Coming up on 19 months post-op. Lost 130 lbs and stable at 155 with a BMI of 23 for the last five months. Type 2 diabetes gone. Hypertension gone. sleep apnea gone. Back and knee pain gone. Blood work is perfect across the board. I love the new me!

Looking forward to losing the back and knee pain the most...

I am about 11 months out. Had surgery June 5, 2012. I started at 256 and I weigh 140 today. My RA meds have been cut way down and I love fitting into a size 2. This soccer season i played 5 nights a week on 6 teams. i am planning on trying out for the police academy next month. Still working on gaining muscle at this point, but a broken ankle is making that hard.

The hardest thing to me is staying on track with protein, and vitamins. It seems when I get kicked off track it can be so hard to pull myself up and get back on the right path. Breaking my ankle through me off of my routine and therefore I have been slacking off.

you all look amazing !

Hey tammy... missed this post the first time around. Good to see you... you look awesome. I had surgery 15 months ago and am down 186 lbs. I am fluxuating between 156 and 154... but mostly stay at 154. My date of surgery weight was 340. I am seeing that alot of the ones that were on the boards way back when stop in every now and then.... I think we get so busy with our new active lifestyles that we rarely have time to stop in. I think this is a great support group and I really like helping others. So hopefully more of us oldies will start chiming in when the newbies have questions. We are all success stories... share share share!!!!

Congrats!! That is awesome. My surgery was April 1, I'm down 70 pounds but feel a little stuck right now. I guess it will start again when my body says so. Seeing how well people are doing further out is very inspiring to me! Way to go!!! Take care!!
