These pics are NOT easy to share because I have No make-up on and tons of loose skin and wrinkles, hence the the Yikes in my title! All that being said, I couldn't be happier and healthier. Last Summer I was wearing a size 22 swimsuit and the one I have on in the pic is a size 10, so YAY! Having had gastric bypass has truly saved my life. I was a slow but steady loser (can't exercise much due to a chronic nerve condition) and only have a few more pounds to go. These last 10 lbs. are the hardest. Being obese for 30 years took it's toll on me but I'm so happy now that I refuse to dwell in the past. Advice for those just starting out ... Take "Before" pics and measure yourself!!! Here are my stats:

54 years young

5' 2" tall

HW 285

SW 260

CW 138

GW 130

Inches Lost

chest: 12"

above waist: 21"

waist (@@belly button): 18"

below waist (apron): 19"

hips: 15"

thighs: 8"

knees: 3"

arms: 6"

Thank you so much everyone! I can't seem to lose these last 5 lbs. so I may be where my body decides it wants to stay. Hoping to have skin removal surgery next year so that should be at least 10 lbs. Best of Luck to all on their journey to health!!!

Wow you look fantastic. I am exactly the same age and height as you but a lot heavier. This is my first time on here and it is my 13th day since surgery . Seeing you and hearing your story gives me motivation well done and all the best

You look amazing
