I never would have dreamed of showing anyone my weight on a scale. I absolutely dreaded weighing in at the DR's office. As if they cared right?!. Scale numbers are the thing nightmares are made of in my world. I think I was traumatized as a child when they would do "health checkups" at school, everyone would get called to the cafeteria and have to be weighed in front of the people standing behind you. Horrible experience!! Not today folks!! I am thrilled to share my scale experience! My starting weight 10 months ago was a even 267 Lbs on the day of surgery. I am now officially over 100 lbs lost (barely). This process has defiantly been a complete life changing experience. I still have a hard time accepting the numbers, it just doesn't seem real so I weight a good 5x in a row just to make sure I'm not delusional ;) Only 5 more lbs and I will be considered "normal" I have never wanted to be more "normal" in my life :) From morbidly obese, obese, overweight to normal in 10 tiny months! I would do this surgery 100x again if I had to just to have these moments. I'm incredibly grateful. God is good all the time!!

What a great post! Thanks for sharing. You are in inspiration.

@@bellabill Discipline is key! You know as well as I that the surgery definanly helps but it won't do all the work for us. It does take work and that's why it's aggravating when people say WLS is the easy way out. Keep at it!

@@Jefferyc79 Thank you! With a little time and patients you will!

@@Elode thanks! I'm just starting my journey. But, the fact that I'm 22 plus pounds down before the surgery is awesome and I'm not even on the liquid diet yet! You are my motivation, ride or die!

@@Elode, every time I see your posts in the 'trending topics,' I'm filled with dread - the titles always read like one of those internet pop-up ads or the subject line of a spam email. Then I read them and sigh with relief. Congratulations!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
