I am officially 7 months post surgery and am incredibly happy with my progress so far. I'm down 122.4 lbs total, and 80.8 since surgery. A few of my NSVs:

- The arthritis in my knees causes significantly less pain

- I am walking 2 miles most days, and hiking when I get the chance (up to 6 or more miles)

- My strength and endurance is increasing. I still get winded and need to take breaks (especially on inclines) but there's no way I could have done some of the hikes I'm doing pre-surgery.

- I'm down from a tight 2X to a L or XL.

- I have collarbones again

Below pics is from shortly after I started my journey (pre-surgery) to this morning.

Great job!!

Amazing! You look totally renewed ❤

That's fantastic! I really appreciate seeing the results of people with a starting weight similar to mine so I can get a realistic view of potential results. You are much taller than I am, so I'm a lot wider at the same weight, but I'd be very happy with losing 80 pounds in 7 months. Congratulations on your success!

You look fantastic. Congratulations!

Congratulations!!!! You look fantastic and it sounds like you feel even better!!
