Loving Life! 10 months Post-op RNY with pictures,

Hi Everyone!

I am 1 week away from being 10 months out. I have gone from 332 pounds with a BMI of 60+ to 167 pounds and a BMI to 30.5, right on the cusp of being overweight and not obese. I have gone from a tight 28/30 pant and a 5x top to size 11/12 pant and a medium top. I have 35 pounds to go before I hit my goal of a healthy BMI. I don't know if I will get there without plastic surgery but I am going to give it my all. This surgery has given me so much to be grateful for. I feel free. Free from a body that was dying. I am still me and still have life issues, wls does not fix those but it has made life easier to handle those issues. 

My brother had sent me the before picture that was taken almost a year ago to date. The other is from a few months ago and I am probably over 20 pound lighter now. I never want to forget what is was like to be super morbidly obese inside and out. It is hard to be that large in all aspects of life. 

I hope everyone who desires wls is able to have the chance to change their health. It isn't an easy fix. It takes hard work both physically and mentally. Changing eating pattern for life is a challenge and I am sure it just gets more difficult in maintenance.

Happy Holidays to Everyone!

Wow, yay for you!  

Congrats on your success!  You're doing great :)  The pics don't come through for me :(  Too bad because I love looking at progress pics!

Great job. You should be very proud.

Congratulations.It feels so good to look at before and after pictures.It shows everyone that it can be done.

Wow...great job. So encouraging for those of us on the journey behind you. Your pic didn't download, but I looked at some of the ones you had from a few months ago and they were amazing.

Your success is so inspiring! I am coming from almost exactly where you started. I am now one month out. I hope in 9 months I can report similar results. I'm sad that the pics didn't come through, but I'm sure you look fantastic! Congratulations!
