Hey everyone! It has been a while since I have been on here but I wanted to do a quick update. :) My before picture was in 2009, I was just over 300 pounds but I would never admit it. I had not weighed myself in some time, but a couple of months before this picture was taken I was 298. My after pictures were taken within a month of each other. The most recent being me by the tree. I weigh 202 today. I am 4 months post op gastric bypass. I love my pouch and I am so thankful for my struggles, because they have definitely made me a stronger person. I was a size 24 jean in the before picture, and I am in a 12 now, and they are getting baggy on me too.. so I should be in a size 10 within in the next couple of weeks or so. I average 3-5 pounds a week depending on you know, my crazy body. :)  

Before:

 

 

 

After: 4 Months Post Op 

 

That's awesome! Congrats! I can't wait to be on the (is it called the losers bench??) hehe I'm new to this, but you look great!! I love seeing the transformation!

 Oh it feels amazing, but I am not going to lie, I did struggle and still do a bit. Good luck on your surgery!!!

 Thanks :) 
I am totally prepared for struggles, I have slowly been introducing the possible things that I could not tolerate or have to make a major lifestyle changes for, to my husband and his optimistic approach to them reassures me, that the struggle will be worth it! :) 

 Oh totally worth it! You will not regret it! I promise ;) But remember, just when you feel like your world is crashing prayer is the best. I dont know if you are religious but honestly you dont have to be to pray. That got me through so much!

You look terrific and so happy! good job!

You look GREAT!  Thanks for sharing the inspiration.

 Uhm..... where is all your sagging skin?  Where are your bat wings?  You look fantastic!  can I ask how old you are?  

Congratulations!!

 Hey thanks so much!!! I have sagging skin under my arms and my stomach, I do well to hide it. My skin has bounced back a lot more than I thought, but not enough for me to be completely comfortable. I am 25, I will be 26 on July 4th. :)

Looking fab Jenna. Unless my math is off you're only 3 months out not 4, which is even better. Feb to March, March to April, April to May.

 You would be correct. Its hard to believe it has only been 3 months.. It feels like SO much longer!

Congratulations....you are making incredible progress.  Your friends and family must be amazed.

 They are shocked to say the least!! So soon out, and so much weight gone. I am down 64 pounds from the morning of surgery. And a grand total of 98 which is hardly fathomable. 

Keep posting photos...I can't imagine where you will be in one year.

 Me either! I am actually 3 months out haha. My surgery was Feb 15th. I was off a month... I have 52 pounds to go until I have reached my doctors goal... however I am shooting for 140-145. That is what I was before I developed PCOS and really started gaining. So it should be interesting to see how I look. I cant imagine losing 50 more being that I am in a size 12 jean already. This is so crazy.. You look fantastic by the way!

I think you will easily hit your goal.  Three months...WOW.  Thank you for the compliment.

You look fantastic! Hoping to join you soon as I have surgery Tuesday! Congrats!

 Good luck on Tuesday! You will do great!

NIce job,,,your so pretty

You look awesome!!!  Great job :)
