NORMAL BMI

Today is 51 weeks since surgery and I weigh 167, I now have a normal BMI.  My wife and I were talking the other evening and she asked me what my expectations were a year ago and if I had thought I would be where I am now. Of course the answer was NO. I never thought that this would be possible in just a year.  Highest measured weight was 375. First consultation with surgeon 359. Day of surgey 324. This morning 167. I have more energy and feel like I am 25 yrs old, probably better than I did at 25. I know I am healthier than I have ever been. No more medication of any kind, only vitamins, No more CPAP, high blood pressure, GERD or any of that stuff. Women are a lot more friendly, which is nice, but I am a happily married man and want to stay that way. But it is nice when women give you that smile. Well I am starting to ramble, bottom line is life is good. pan head

Congrats on your amazing weight loss.  It's a great feeling, huh?  I am a year out (Nov. 15th) and haven't lost as much as you, but a pretty good amount.  Still need to lose those last 20 and it's just taking forever now.

Thanks Jaime, It has been an amazing year for me. I don't know why I have been so blessed, but I am thankful. Just keep at it and I am sure you will get to your goal.  pan head

Congratulations on your amazing weight loss. I always enjoy reading posts from people when they've made it to the one year anniversary. It just seems like such a wonderful change for everyone and I can't wait for mine.

You've done a remarkable job sticking with the plan - I commend you! I am glad your wife was supportive in this - my husband has been amazingly wonderful and it sure does help.

Thanks for telling us your thoughts - and keep up the great job!
