This was me 3 years ago and 1 year ago.

Thank you! I'm 5' 6" and my starting weight was 228. 216 at surgery. I'm at 174 now. Not doing any formal exercise yet. Had complications 2 weeks after surgery. I developed 4 blood clots that got infected. So that was a major setback to my recovery. It's been rough but I don't regret anything. The weight loss has been amazing and it does get better. Just now having more energy. I'm in a size 12 now. Was in a 16/18 With insulin resistance which is gone now!

Down 54 pounds in 4 months. Blood work has improved. Getting energy back and sleeping better. Feet and knees no longer hurt!

Great ideas! I had surgery on 11/11 in Utah. So we're about the same post op time. How much weight have you lost? I'm so excited to hit my goal weight! Glad I kept some old pants that I can fit into now! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
