Thank you ladies! Sent from my SM-G920W8 using the BariatricPal App

@@Dub You look so amazing. I'm so happy for you my friend!!!

Still can't believe this is me! Only 9.6 pounds to go until I hit my goal! I have muscles! Who knew!!!!?? I'll be hitting my 10 month post op Gastric Bypass date on July 21st! I can't believe I've lost 114 lbs in 10 short quick months! I am working hard to hit my goal by the one year surgiversary date, but if I don't then I'm not going to be too sad about it..... Cuz how can I be!? I will say that losing the last 10 pounds are the hardest! I may not be losing too fast as per the scale now, but I can definitely see a change in my body so I'm totally happy! !! Heather

Thank you all ????????

Thank you @onedetermined... @@turtle5569 & @@Katieisin!

@@heather5565 show off!!!!! just kidding bud LOL LOL only closed my eyes for a second you lost more weight when i wasn't looking!!! happy for you and your success sad for ME I'm seeing less and less of you keep up the good work i know you will kathy congrats I heart you KathyYou're so awesome! Hahaha I've been on BP a bit more lately! You'll see more (or less) of me when summer/camping/hiking/biking season is over Which here in BC Canada .... might be next week!

Thank you all! I am now down 118.8 pounds and only 4.6 from goal! OMG So crazy!

I was never told that I can never have alcohol again. I was advised to not have any for a while after surgery but not even given a time line. I turned the big 4-0 about 6 weeks after surgery. Did I have a glass of wine. You bet I did! I was turning 40! Have I had many drinks since...? Um.. yes. Yes I have and no I have not had any problems. At 11 months post op I am down 118.8 pounds and only 4.6 lbs from goal. Don't care what people say - I'm gonna have a damn "adult" drink whenever I want. I've worked very hard to get to where I am - in life and with weight loss. I'm 40 years old. I can make 40 year old decisions and if drinking alcohol is one of them, I'm gonna do it. Lol I have even had a forbidden beer or two. I'll admit it - I don't feel great after a beer because of the carbonation and it filling me up so quickly, so I don't drink them very often at all. We are all adults and know our own bodies best. I get that the doctor and nutritionist knows a lot about the effects of alcohol but not ever drinking again is unrealistic. In my opinion.

WOW Daniel! Like OH.EM.GEE! you better be super proud of yourself... if not then I will come find you and kick your (wee little) bum! That is an enormous accomplishment! In one year to boot °•▪°•▪ holy!!! You are simply amazing and a huge inspiration. Good on ya! Keep up the hard amazing work!

You better not get any negative comments! I have noticed that lifting weights are helping a bit with my bat wings. A bit. I am starting to get nicely formed biceps and the "V" is showing but alas I don't think underneath (wing part) will ever go fully away. Unless I have surgery... which as of now it is not on my mind. Maybe someday I will have the boobie implants and a tummy tuck but I doubt I'll do my arms as well. Good luck to ya and don't sweat some wings, for me - I'd much rather have some hangy skin and bat wings than being unhealthy and 273.4 pounds! I only have 4.6 lbs to go until goal so I'm super happy. SW 273.4 CW 154.6 Gw 150 Ultimate goal weight: 149.... so I can say I'm in the 140's Good luck to you and keep kickin butt!

Holy Amazing results!huge difference! Awesome!

Omg I laughed so hard! Hahahahaha your phone is possessed and really crazy happy! Hahahahaha

Thank you ???????????????? I don't mind being someone's inspiration - it keeps me in check and makes me want to keep going ????

My stats: SW 273.4 CW 159.6 ????????☺???? Thank you to you both! Thank you so much! ☺☺☺☺☺☺

You have done so well and you look absolutely stunning. I am so impressed with your hard work and determination throughout it all. You've motivated me to get my sore, tired self to hit the gym on days when I so could've blown it off. Amazing. You've been a beacon of light for many who are feeling lost out there. Seeing your results and the knowing that you put one foot in front of the other and drove those results is highly encouraging. Much respect !!!!!!!! You brought me to tears! Jerk. Lol ????Thank you, this truly means a lot to me. This makes me want to work just that much harder! (Damn you! lol)

You just made my day!My week! My month! You're very sweet! Thank you!

Wow thanks everyone! I get down a little bit when I work so hard and I weigh myself and see that the scale hasn't budged or I gain a pound. But maybe I should just come on to BP and read your comments! That'll cheer me up! I just can't believe how hard it's gotten since I hit the "last 10 pound" mark! But I keep working at it and hit my goal!!! Thanks for all your support! Heather

@@heather5565 you look great wonderful transformation all that exercising paid off achieving muscles last 10 lbs sometimes do take forever that's ok - you look awesome now keep up the great job have missed seeing you visit more often ok kathy congrats You're awesome Kathy!

This happened to me just today.A friend I used to work with on another ward said out loud (very loudly) "Omg I swear you're even skinnier than when I saw you last." (Which was like 3 days before) And then she kept going on and on that I need to eat more and stop being so skinny. Other people were standing around that I didn't know and then of course they started asking questions. I didn't want to explain anything with complete strangers let alone why I'm "so skinny" now. Which btw - I'm not skinny. I'm smaller but definitely not skinny! It was so awkward!

Thank you!!! I am over the moon happy!
