Yesterday was my 6 month surgiversary and I cannot be more pleased with this journey. I have so much more energy, have discovered a hidden runner inside me, am more active with my kiddos, and all-around more confident.

U look awesome! Hope I have the same success. My surgery is March 25th. I'm a bundle of nerves. So happy for u lady.

U look amazing, my surgery 4/8 and worries kicking in but ur post great, thanks

Way to go!!

You look amazing. Gives me great hope for 6 months down the road for me.

Looking great and excellent weight loss for your first six months. Congrats, all your hard work is paying off!

any recommendations on how to be as successful as you?

I'm on the 25th too! I was crying last night thinking about some of the skin pictures I have seen.

You look great woman! What was your start weight?

My starting weight the day I started my 2 week pre-op liquid diet was 278.4.

any recommendations on how to be as successful as you?

Sorry it took me so long to reply! I would say the key for me has been sticking to the "basics".... I do no more than 30-40g of carbs per day, at least 60g of Protein, and 80-100 oz of Water. That keeps me feeling full and satisfied for the most part. I also started running and I really enjoy that. :-) Good luck!

Hey candy. How are you feeling?

• Inspirational...seriously. I'm about 6 mos and just crossed the 70 lb mark. I don't think I have any conscious memory of being 24 pounds from a weight goal in my entire adult life. It really is quite surreal for me. I am challenged by exercise, I have always loved it, but I have other priorities now, like my babies (2 y/o and 1 y/o). I am relatively active and I did complete a 5 k almost jogging the entire thing in March 2014. But your pics really are an eye opener, I wanted to congratulate you on such a profound transformation, you must feel amazing. I'm gonna keep working on the exercise, I want to be a good example for my babies too. Another 5 K is coming up in May...maybe I will be able to run the whole thing this time. Thanks for your info and the sharing of what you do.

You are so close to your goal! You are doing amazingly as well!! Thank you on your kind words! I hope to be able to run my whole 5K too... The training is hard, but every time I complete a run I feel amazing. :-)

@livvsmum what has been your diet post op.... once you could have regular food. I'm just curious and ask this to the ones that have lost a lot of weight so fast like you. It seems the general consensus has been to stick to Protein and veggies and limit carbs...... I pretty much try to do the same.

I try really hard to stick to no more than 30-40g of carbs, at least 60-65g of protein & 80-100oz of water. That combo has worked for me. I also track everything on myfitnesspal.com. My name on there is livvsmum if you want to friend me & see my logs you are welcome to :-)
