Best thing I ever did. Day of surgery I was 247 and am 191 now. Size 20/22 to 14. I can eat pretty much whatever I want, just not a lot. I exercise 5-6 days a week, a mix of cardio and strength training. I rewarded myself with 20 personal training sessions when I got under 200. Knees don't hurt any more and I love how strong I feel. You still need to make good food choices though...bad stuff slides right down.

For the first time in many years I actually feel normal about food, and don't obsess about it. I don't track what I eat, just concentrate on making good choices at each meal. I indulge every now and then....I think depriving yourself sets you up for failure (at least it does for me).

Best of luck to you!!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
