Still on my journey, loving me!
WORTH IT$100
Wow, it's been 3 years, since I've been here and my journey continues, as all of ours will. I've found a way to manage my weight and keep everything at a manageable range. I'm still in my size 10 jeans, although I've fluctuated between a 10 and 12 a few times. Which is still ok with me since I was in a 24 before my surgery. I'm happy with who I've become. New and better job. Looking better today ar 47 than I did at 25. I love myself and my life. Here are some current photos.

Thank you SO MUCH for your posts. I am 8 days pre-op, and everything you shared has truly blessed me. We are the same height and age. I am a bit heavier than you - July 19th, when I started this process I was 348. Today I am down to 320. I told my doctor I would look sick if I got down below 200 pounds, but you do look wonderful and quite happy. I thank you for sharing. It has opened my eyes to new possibilities for my own life.

Congratulations for taking this step!!! You sounds exactly like me at the beginning of my journey. I told my doctor the same thing. Under 200 for me, would not look good, but now that I'm here, can certainly see where 10-15 more lbs certainly wouldn't hurt! It's amazing to see your body transform and as I'm typing this right now, I still look in the mirror and think wow, I thought I'd look a whole lot smaller at this weight. So my doctor actually knew what he was talking about. That's certainly because he's done surgery on many people my height and he has seen the results. So my goal is now 180-185. As you know, or ideal weight, according to doctor's, is 170-175. I'll see what i look like at 180-85, then decide if I want to go further. It sure is nice to know I can actually reach weight goals now. This surgery will be the best decision you have ever made for your life. Watch how young you start looking and feeling, it's amazing!!! I'll be following your progress! I'm going to send you a personal message with my info, so I can follow your progress and if you have any questions or want to chat, in there for you. Most importantly, when things get tough or frustrating, just remember why you are doing this and what a year post op will be like.

YAAAASSSS!!!!
I missed you guys!!! OMG!!! Where did the time go?!?! It's been a year and 2 months since my surgery and life is awesome!!! I'm not going to beat around the bush, let's get to some stats so I can go to bed! I'm 5'9, 44 years young! Highest weight pre surgery 302; currently weight 195. Total lost 107!!!! Went from a size 24-26 and 3X tops to a 14 or large (still have big boobs!) Went from a size 22-24 pants to a size 10!!! I don't ever recall being a size 10. Maybe in junior high!?! LOL!!! I still have 10-15 lbs I will lose, I'm patient, not in a race, I'll get there. Even though everyone swears they will force fed me if I lose another pound. I tell them just watch me! So here are some photos!
