6 months post op progress update!!!

I am 6 months post op and I cannot believe how much my life has changed!!  I can move, breathe, sit, stand, walk, run, play like never before!  I now weigh less than at my wedding which was over 11 years ago!

Here are my stats.  Then vs now

Bicep 15" v 11 1/2"

Bust 44" v 39"

Waist 41" v 32 1/2"

Hip 54" v 44"

Thigh 30 1/2" v 25"

Calf 18" v 16 1/2"

Weight 257 v 169

I have lost 88 pounds and 34"

I went from wearing size 22 jeans to 14

If you are reading this and thinking about having the surgery.... DO IT!  It's life changing!  Extremely difficult but so very much worth it!!!

I still struggle with food addiction, every day.  I want to eat the bad foods, sugar, carbs, etc but I know that this life is worth every 'sacrifice' that I make not eating those things.  Sugar and I don't get along anymore anyway... man does it make me sick! We have broke up and it feels great!!!  Clothes shopping is so much fun now that I have a heard time not spending too much on clothes that I know I'm not going to wear for very long!

So I am sitting on the top of the mountain today feeling like nothing can get me down and I wanted to share with everyone!!!

This great to see. Congratulations! And it's a good reminder to me that I should take my measurements before surgery! 

Keep it up!

Way to go!!!!!! 

Thanks for sharing! I am getting nervous as my date approaches, it's always good to read these posts!

Very exciting and encouraging to hear! Thanks for the update!

Congrats - we are in the same seat - I also happen to weigh less now then on my wedding day. My ring is getting to big now and I can not wear it swimming any more.....

I recently found a quote online that really helps me when I am looking for food as comfort!

I loved this so much I set it as the home screen on my iPad ?

Congratulations! I too, am super happy that I made the choice to have surgery! Keep up the good work! 

Way to go! Keep making good choices and the rest will follow
