Hi everyone. My name is Holly and I am 8 months post op. I have lost approximately 120 pounds. My start weight on the day of surgery was 344 and my current weight is 224. I have struggled with my weight all of my adult life. After having my children, it's like my weight just kept increasing. I tried EVERYTHING!! I prayed and prayed for God to heal my body from obesity. Before making the decision to have gastric bypass, I thought about it for years, lol. It was, what if this and what if that. When I finally made the decision, there was no turning back (regardless of what anyone said). I can honestly say that it was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. My life has changed dramatically. I've lost friends (which is crazy), but my health has improved, my quality of life has improved, I can run around with my kids, I feel BEAUTIFUL, and my marriage has improved. I haven't been this happy in a very long time. I have a long way to go to get to my goal weight, but I know that I will get there. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi . I had my surgery Nov 10th. My weight on the day of surgery was 347. As of today I am at 231. I focus mainly on eating Protein and vegetables. I don't do any bread, Pasta, rice, or potatoes. I could do better with drinking Water. I like to snack also, especially at night time. Snacking is my weakness. For exercise I mainly walk. I started off in a pants size 26, and now I'm in a 14-16 . It's a difficult but liberating journey. Best wishes. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
