BMI as of yesterday = 29.9! It's been a whirlwind 6 months since I started the pre-op diet. I am down 75 lbs. Went from a size 22/24 jeans to size 12. I wouldn't characterize my story as a success yet because I've come to realize that the biggest challenges still lie ahead, but I've made a lot of progress. As per gamergirl's request, I have uploaded pics.

^ Me before pre-op diet. Highest weight 260.

^ Yesterday. 75 lb loss. Current weight 185.

Everyone have a great weekend!

Thanks Laura! I have to say in the last 6 months the most important lesson I learned was to plan every meal and plan every workout. I don't have much control when I do things on the fly .

Oh. My. Gawd! Look at you! Congratulations!! You she'd 75 lbs and several years from the looks of you. You look AMAZING. Honestly you look "normal", not overweight to me. Way to go!!

So glad you posted pics
