10 months post op

Well, its 10 month since surgery, and I weighed in this morning at 201 pounds. This is unbelievable for me. When I started the WLS process I was 385 pounds and I had the hope that I might weigh below 250 pounds. I'd see people post about getting to One-derland, and I'd think that would never happen for me. Well, guys I'm within 2 pounds of One-derland, and I am so grateful for WLS. It feels surreal.

I still have weight to lose in my belly. I'm thinking I'll use my belly to determine when I'm done. I am only 7 pounds from reaching the "overweight" BMI - that's my program's goal for me.

WLS a powerful tool. It doesn't make the weight loss easy, but it makes it possible. I am so happy with my sleeve and my new health and energy. If you have been struggling with obesity, consider WLS. It really works.

best wishes,

Carol

Hi Carol,

Congratulations on your great progress. You have really used your tool well. One-derland is right around the corner.

All the best, Katy

consult weight 241 (had not been accurately weighed for over 10 years, my medical records just said "wheelchair") high weight was probably closer to 260.

Carol-

You are right- WLS does not make weight loss easy, it makes it possible. For all of is, it is not easy but obviously we could not do this before. Congratulations on a remarkable weight loss and journey!

Hi Carol,

That is so great and congratulations to you! You have worked so hard and you are so super supportive in every post I have read! You deserve so much to feel proud of yourself for your accomplishments, that's an extraordinary amount of weight in a good time period! I'm so proud of you, I hope that doesn't sound condescending, it's not meant that way! I know you will reach all your goals! Keep up the great work!

best wishes back and lots of smiles:),
