At seven months out, I have reached a normal BMI. I have lost over 90 lbs since surgery and over 112 lbs since I started this journey. Yay. I do not have a goal weight or size. I may come up with one later but right now I think the middle of the normal BMI range would be nice.

I am so thankful to the people on this site. I fought long and hard for this surgery and although I had medical complications at first, it has been worth it. I have amazing labs, better than pre-op. I exercise six hours a week. I have not felt this good, ever.

I have the standard issues that I knew that I could have such as very very thin hair, extra skin and wrinkles; however, I knew I could live with them.

Here are my before and during pictures without showing my face

Thanks for the encouragement. This journey is much  easier when when you know there are cool people (like you) that are just a post away.
