I had surgery 240 days ago, just shy of 8 months. Today, I hit the goal weight my surgeon set for me 175lbs, my personal goal weight is 160lbs. Never did I think I'd get to this point. I was always thinner growing up, through an abusive marriage and babies I gained a LOT of weight. My highest weight was over 300lbs at one point. I started this journey at 275lbs, my weight at my pre-op appointment was 265lbs. I finally feel like the outside matches the inside, even though I was morbidly obese my brain never registered that so I always felt thinner in my head (opposite of what is common). I can run a 5k on the treadmill in just over 34 mins, before it was over an hour! Went from a size 24 pants to a size 8, size 2XL shirt to a Medium!

You look great! Congratulations! Can I ask how tall you are? My surgeon said my goal may be 165. I think 145. I’m 5’3”. 66 yrs. Sleeve 9/23/19. HW 285 SW 245 CW 180. When I see someone look great like you always want to put it in prospective.

Awesome! Looking great! Keep up the work. Your personal goal is in sight. Great job!
