1 year

1 month

10 days

And I hit my goal!

Sept 21/15 - Oct 31/16

Lots of hard work.

Many sacrifices.

Lots of self talk.

Much dedication and self motivation.

But it was all worth it!

The time flew by and I can't believe I am where I am just 13 short months after my Gastric Bypass surgery.

I saved my own life and will thank myself everyday.

I wasted too much of my precious life and now I'm gonna make up for it!

Turning 41 in a couple days and I've never felt better, happier, healthier and of course lighter!!!

Thanks for all that have traveled along this journey with me!

I have been lately, yeah. I was really worried that I'd have loose skin (aka bat wings) so I've been concentrating on upper body lifting and I'm quite pleased with the results. I do have some damage, don't get me wrong, (especially when I bend over, you can see the loose wrinkly skin a bit) but overall I'm happy and proud of what I've accomplished

Thank you for the nice compliment!

I am going to continue on working on toning up more and maybe even lose a few more pounds

I think the hard part now is maintaining! Eeekkkk! LOL

Thanks for sharing, I'm scheduled for my sleeve on 11/17 (fingers crossed) and one of my worries was the excess skin many have spoken about apart from other things people have spoken about online, like the strain on relationships afterwords. Some of the surgeons on realself.com stated that excess skin was inevitable and I don't forsee being able to afford a body lift. I am 235 lbs and hopefully with hard work and exercise it won't be too bad. I think the pros of a potentially healthier life outweigh the negatives... Thanks again.
