Hey guys decided I would post some pics and my story. I’m Mike and I’m 37 from Montreal. Waited a full 5 years to get this surgery. Best decision I ever made.

Surgery was Nov. 22, 2018 and I’ve since lost over 180 lbs! I work out 6 times a week; cardio, swimming and various exercises.

let me know what you think!

mike

Thanks @Snapcase-

yeah I believe in the power of positive thinking!

@Mikeyy I feel you brother. Not easy sometimes. And we have to support each other. Not everyone knows the reality and struggles of what we go through and live with daily.
I used to wear a 7xl shirt. A size 68 pant waist. Jeans would cost me 120$ a pair. You know how glad I was to buy a pair of 18$ wranglers off amazon??? Lol

Your hard work and perseverance is truly inspiring Mike. Best wishes on reaching your goal.

Amazing progress man. You're an inspiration.

Wow you look amazing!!!!

Fitting in airplane seats is awesome. I remember the first time I wasn't squished against the person next to me or didn't need a seat belt extender. But that was a thrill.

You look great! Keep up the good work.

Thank you so much!

been working hard. Training is a mental game more than physical. And. Arguing exercises. Went for a 16km hike recently. It’s all about pacing and objectives.

Now that I can fit in airplane seats I’ll be able to take long flights to other countries of the bloody commonwealth lol

mike

Yep, amazing how much of this journey is mental hey. Not only will you fit in the seats but you won't need an extender strap!

I am terrible pacing myself, I want to be able to reach all my goals last week I am currently just trying to get a half-hour walk in when I feel well enough so about 4 times a week, I'm still having days where I just feel too weak and wobbly, so doing what I can.

Plan is to start going to the gym once I am up to it
