Blessed Mz

Due to complications I was first sleeved in March of 2012 then 3 months later I had to have the bypass done. It's was rough healing wise but looking back, well worth it. With the sleeve I wasn't able to keep any thing down, throwing up constantly to the point I developed a hernia smh. Is been a long hard road but I'm better for it. Start weight 230, current weight 125. From a size 18 in plus to a 5 in juniors, I'm soo not complaining. The first 6 months of this journey had me feeling like I made a major mistake, I was miserable and depressed. But when I began to feel better I started to notice positive results and that motivates me to stay in the gym, and eat right. Still working on taking in more protein, since now I'm working on toning and adding 10 pounds of pure muscle lol.

You look great. It's funny we have the same sw and cw 230 down to 125. Keep up the great work!

I must admit even at 230 I've never really had a tummy, it wasn't flat but I never had rolls or anything like that. I just had Hugh boobs, thighs, and tukkus for days lol so those are my problem areas (sagging issues) I'm hoping as I tone I it will improve lol its not crazy looking ams I'm sure I'm probably my biggest critic lol so my opinion is bias. Don't get me wrong over all I'm pretty satisfied with the new me, but I am still a work in progress

Thank you, with support like that I'm sure I will

Thanks, and good luck with your surgery doll

It was and still is a hard journey, so let your results motivate you. Merry Christmas and a very safe Happy New Year to all.

Family members to be the worst, but what you need to know is that your journey is yours and yours alone. Although it would be nice to hear accolades from those that we love and admire but honest it's not always guaranteed. 4 one they may be coming from a dark place themselves and don't know how to show support for situation that they're going to as well. I've also found that most people that do you have negative things to say r just not happy with themselves so its easier to get at you then to get at themselves. Last this is your journey spazz whatever negative anyone has to say as long as you're feeling good about you that's all that matters its called self esteem, esteem of self so forget what they have to say. I'm about 2 and a half years post opt, went from 230 lbs give or take down to about 125-130 and I've yet to get a real compliment from any of my siblings, it took a while to get over being hurt about it but then I realized I was hot with or without the support lol i found my new sense of confidence lol So next time someone says or does something that makes you feel some kinda way, go buy something pretty that you wouldn't have before your weight loss and model around in it for yourself or your someone special (wink wink) and trust me you won't even remember what was said lol. Worked for me

I myself have gone down to a bmi of about 20. I must say coming from someone that's been over weight most of my life it's [ATTACH]38586[/ATTACH] amazing. Now my biggest issue is finding extra smalls lol. With that said I think you should pay less attention to your bmi and more attention to how you feel cause at the end of the day that's what's important Started@230lbs then 125lbs now ♡♡♡

I can definitely relate to your story. I had to have my surgery done twice, for some reason the first time I had it I couldn't keep anything down so 3 months after having 1st surgery I had to have a second surgery. The first was a sleeve the second was a bypass. With all the throwing up I was doing I develop a hernia. But before they could fix my hernia I'd developed an infection in my gallbladder which then had to be removed. After which followed with the reparation on my hernia. As of today I'm gladto say I'm about a hundred pounds lighter and also pretty healthy. So I'm sure as long as you're dedicated, with all the trouble you've had with your pass you will do fine. ♢♤♢♤♢ Good luck
