CONGRATS!!! I remember when I lost my first 100 pounds!!! 🙃 It's the best feeling in the world. That was 2 1/2 years ago. I've kept that plus more off. It's hard work but well worth it!!!

Now for your co-workers, yes it hurts. The only thing I can think of is jealousy. You said the right thing in the beginning, you have the best support system! Many don't have that. Their also a success in helping you lose the 100 pounds. GREAT GOING! 😊 🤣

You look great! Thank God you don't need your coworkers for validation, forget them! I can almost bet money its mostly jealously, so with that being said, don't give it ANY attention. Work on reaching your goal, and then coming up with a plan to maintain it!

Hit a big milestone today...I'm 9 months post-op & lost 100 lbs! So happy for myself though Still working towards goal. Couldn't be happier with my results & my decision to take this step towards a happier-healthier life. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner! I have wonderful support system and for that I'm so grateful. It's funny tho certain people (mostly co-workers) have not commented or asked me 1 question since surgery 9 months ago (which I was open about from the get go). I'm not sure what to make of that but truthfully my family & my "true" friends opinions are what matter to me. I feel like an ugly/angry weight has been lifted from my shoulders which left me feeling lighthearted & happy!


On an unrelated note, has anyone told you that you now look like Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas!? Thought that immediately when I saw your now pic!

You are absolutely beautiful. I am so happy that you have been so successful. A lot of women are jealous and insecure with themselves so they aren't able to compliment. Thankfully you have a wonderful support system. Congratulations on all of your hard work.

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
