Hi everyone,

I just want to say this has been quite the amazing journey thus far. December 18th 2018 I went into my surgery at 285 pounds. 8 1/2 months ago was the biggest decision and biggest step I ever took towards changing my life. For the past 8 years I was a very happy and unhealthy person. Gradually becoming more and more obese by the day. I truly thank my family to opening up my eyes as to how unhappy and unhealthy I was. I first went into my doctors office at a very unhappy and unhealthy 304 pounds. My pre-op diet of protein shakes for 2 weeks helped me get down to 285 just in time for my surgery. I am now today 167 pounds as of this morning. I have not been in the 160's since my teens and I am now 27. I still want to lose another 37 pounds to reach my goal weight of 130 due to my height. But the sky is the limit baby!! I just want you all to know post op and pre op that I wish you all good luck and hope you had and have as much success as I did so far. Hugs to you all!!!

Congratulations!!? I also just got to goal and fee like the albatross around my neck has been lifted !

Congratulations

I’m very excited and happy for you and your success. I’m also quite jealous. But that’s ok. I had my surgery Dec 26, 2018. Highest weight 306. Day of surgery 285. So many similarities. However, I’m only down to 219. But then I’m also 65 years old and been overweight for 37 years. My fat is comfortable and loves me and doesn’t want to go easily. Ha!
First goal is 185 -losing 100 lbs. then on to 165 or less. Can hardly wait!
You keep on doing great! Keep your eyes on the prize of a healthier, happier you!

Wow congratulations
