you look fine as is - I don't think you need to lose any more weight (unless you want a cushion in case you have some bounce back later). Don't forget that your bones might be dense from having to ho

I did have a fat % check at my 6 month post op. They said I was pretty much allowed to get to 130 but they would rather me not get lower than 135. I'm 5'6 so I'm not super tall. I'm trying to find the

I do lots of stuff and I think that helps. I like weight lifting. I use a lot of free weights and not the machines. I run, swim, and use the stair stepper (not all in one day of course). I usual

So I was really active on Bariatric Pal as a pre op and immediately following.
But now I'm 10 months out and I figured it was time for an update.
My HW: 257
Surgery Weight: 235
Current Weight: 155
Goal: 135-145
I hit the 100 pound loss mark at around 6 months and I've maintained it since. This has been a terrible long stall but I workout a lot and I think my body is really happy at 155 even though I would like to lose at least 10 more.
Since my surgery I've gone rock climbing. I went from a 27 minute mile to a 7:30. I am currently training for a half marathon on September 11th! Which is 15 days before my ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF MY SURGERY!!
So that is a HUGE goal that I want to accomplish. If I could lose the 10 pounds by then that would be cool to but I'm not going to go crazy over it.
I moved from Minnesota to Montana. I started a pre med program. I want to be a bariatric surgeon one day
I do have a restriction problem. A couple months ago they had to stretch the opening of my stomach a little bit because it was so small that food was getting painfully stuck. But I was told that I could have to have the procedure done a few times because scar tissue doesn't like to stretch. I can tell I'm due for it again because eating with a bra on hurts and I can feel food get backed up after a few bites.
I'm extremely happy with my choice and my new life. My skin is doing amazing. I won't need skin surgery. I've lost over a foot and a half around my waist. 18 inches from around my hips, 10 from around each thigh, and went from bra size 42DDD to a 34B or C.
I was a 3x in tops, 24 in pants.
I am now a small on top and 3/4 in pants. It's pretty crazy how different my life is in just 9 months.
Best decision I've ever made. I hope everyone else is doing well! I've missed you all!!!
