Highest weight: 276lbs

Pre-surgery weight: 267lbs

Today's weight: 164bs

Total lost:103lbs

Goal weight: 160lbs

4 lbs to go!!!!

My personal goal weight:136lbs, for a normal BMI

28lbs to go!

I AM NO LONGER OBESE!!!!!!!! I am now overweight! Haha it feels great!!

-Haven't started working out again yet....still on my to do list

-Still having slow and steady weight loss average about a pound a week.

-My vitamin D was low at my last appointment, started taking a prescribed vit D weekly

-Water consumption still about 30oz a day....still working this!!!

-I bought a pair a shorts, cute denim SHORT shorts....I haven't worn shorts for about 10 years.... sagging skin on my thighs but I'm still gonna wear them

-I have days where I feel like I look great and I feel super confident! Other days I get hung up on my flabby parts...but I guess if I started working out again, I might feel better more often...

Still no regrets! So grateful for this surgery, truly is life-changing

Unbelievable the progress you have made! I look forward to a normal BMI as well.   I start my 2 week liquid diet on Thursday.  16 sleeps to surgery day!

Thanks! And good luck!

Thank you.  Excited and nervous all at the same time. 

Where is your surgery? How long after your all day session to surgery date was it?

My surgery at the George Dumont Hospital.  It will be three months from my all day session to surgery.

HI! Haven't been on for a while, so have missed your updates! OMG! You are doing JUST AWESOME! Your starting weight and you goal weight are pretty much exactly like me! Soooooooo nice to hear that you have been so successful! I am so happy for you!

I am still waiting for my date....been about a year wait right now...got tired of NOT trying to lose weight so started seeing the Dietitian in November, I feel allot better just trying then doing nothing and waiting.....Not that I am losing allot, but I am at least back to the weight I was then I was referred. I also worry, I will lose TOO MUCH and not be able to get the surgery! LOL! Can you imagine??!! LOL!

Anyways, I wait.....please keep the updates coming.....you are very inspirational!!!!! Thank you for inspiring me with your updates!

Thanks! I also saw the nutritionist prior to surgery to try and get into better eating habits. I did not lose much, maybe 10 pounds. But that was better than gaining! I will try to keep posting monthly!
