13 Months post-op Swimsuit Pics - Yikes!

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"
