Loving Life! 10 months Post-op with pictures,
Hi Everyone!
I am 1 week away from being 10 months out. I have gone from 332 pounds with a BMI of 60+ to 167 pounds and a BMI to 30.5, right on the cusp of being overweight and not obese. I have gone from a tight 28/30 pant and a 5x top to size 11/12 pant and a medium top. I have 35 pounds to go before I hit my goal of a healthy BMI. I don't know if I will get there without plastic surgery but I am going to give it my all. This surgery has given me so much to be grateful for. I feel free. Free from a body that was dying. I am still me and still have life issues, wls does not fix those but it has made life easier to handle those issues.
My brother had sent me the before picture that was taken almost a year ago to date. The other is from a few months ago and I am probably over 20 pound lighter now. I never want to forget what is was like to be super morbidly obese inside and out. It is hard to be that large in all aspects of life.
I hope everyone who desires wls is able to have the chance to change their health. It isn't an easy fix. It takes hard work both physically and mentally. Changing eating pattern for life is a challenge and I am sure it just gets more difficult in maintenance.
Happy Holidays to Everyone!
I'm super beyond happy for you! That's amazing!!! I wish I could see the pictures! My computer isn't loading them. I love before and after pictures. They make me soooo happy! :) I can't wait to be able to have my own set. 167 pounds is soooooo great! "I feel free. Free from a body that was dying." That's absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to feel that.
