So today I made goal! Here I am, one week shy of six months post surgery, and my official BMI is ‘normal’. Not overweight and not obese, any more.

So I know that having blooming gallstones has helped with this last few pounds - eating low fat (gallstones), low protein (liver damage) and low carb (dumping syndrome) is pretty restrictive, but I will have my gallbladder out in a week or two (that will drop me another 1/4 pound ?) and then I am into my maintenance diet.

And here, the difference:

Wow! You look beautiful! Look at your smile!

You look amazing! I'll bet that dinosaur in the first pic wouldn't even want to eat you now - too skinny! He'll hang back and see if you have a plump friend

If he can stand the travel I'm still more tasty than I want to be. Oh how hard I am working to become bony, want to go from Ham to sparerib, keeping my little hooves so active it's a wonder I haven't split one!

Wow, look at you! Gorgeous! Well done:)

Nice job! Congrats- you look amazingly happy :)

Congratulations on reaching your goal. You look fantastic, such a beautiful smile

Congrats!!

Great job! You look fit and healthy!

I am temporarily hijacking this posting, I have been looking for a title to post under, didn't want to start another one and wait for someone else to bring it out.
There are couple ladie I miss seeing a hearing from on Bariatric Pal.
Has anyone heard anything from @ Mrs Grumgee and @ Lillybilly?
Mrs G lives in Red Deer Alberta and lillybilly I think lives on one the ABC islands in the Caribbean, either Aruba, Bonaire or Curacao. She was scheduled to have her surgery in Columbia South America.
Probably they may have had surgery and recovering. Mrs G maybe not, she is going through Canada's Universal Healthcare and they move v e r y -v e r y slow, good healthcare but not fast at all.

I reckon start a new thread with these names in the title. No-one will find it here!

Amazing

Congrats! You look amazing!
