8 months and 154LBS feeling amazing

I can't get over how well things have gone for me.

It shows that if you really commit and dedicate yourself to a new way of life you can achieve anything.

i spent half my life overweight and obese and never could see the end of the tunnel until I found out about health insurance will cover most of my surgery here in Australia.

My highest weight got up to 322 in 2018 and I felt sick looking in the mirror, was so unhealthy and unfit.

i researched everything for months before I found the right surgeon for me and it was so refreshing to find a surgeon who actually cares and I didn't have too many actual prerequisites for surgery really.

my BMI was 43 and I had multiple co-morbidities and now my BMI is 22.7

It was a pretty simple process took about 3 months and starting Weight was at 322lbs; I knew I had 3 months wait so I decided myself to start my diet early and I was able to shed 65lbs before surgery and was 257 surgery day Oct 28th 2019.

and today 8.5 months since I started my diet and 6.5 months post surgery my lowest weight this week was 168lbs ?

I've pretty much been in maintenance now a few weeks anyway most days weighing in between 168-170 and feel like a brand new man.

i just want everyone to know it is possible to reach your goals as I exceeded all mine.

i barely recognise myself when I look in the mirror.

I've added before and after photos below feel free to comment.
