2.5 years (30 months) post surgery.....

I was at 275. I wanted to get down to 200. At 52, it was not easy. I got down to 185-190. I have maintained that loss. I am still hovering around 188.

I still take in a ton of Protein, a ton of Water and next to zero carbs.

And I walk 5 miles every day.

It CAN be done.......I am 54 and my medical lab work has me as healthy as I was at 30.

I was just thinking how young you look! ???? You are an inspiration!

You look great! You have got to feel so good about your decision 2.5 years ago.

I am very glad about my decision. I recommend it highly.

You're an inspiration, Steve! I'm 7 months out and 5 pounds from goal. Once I get there, I may ask you for maintenence advice. What about the skin? Did it redistribute by itself over the 2 years? Thanks and congratulations!!!
