Thanks for all your support!
5 months since surgery and I'm down 110 pounds today from 430... with binge eating disorder, no less!
I did uncover some unpleasant truths along the way. My highest weight was over 700 pounds and my right knee needs to be replaced as a result. I also have degenerative disk disease and I'm still under 40. My doctor said 90% we will fix for sure.
Even if 10% of my health isn't quite 100%, I am still very fortunate. I am grateful to all of you for helping me along the way. I would never have been able to do it without all the help and support here. Thank you guys so much! I will always be grateful for my WLS family.
I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!

You are doing great!!!!! Just imagine what the next 5 months will bring....I can't wait!
