Surgery 6/15/2009

My highest weight was 238 when I qualified for surgery. Lost some before surgery. Today I am 2 years and a month out from surgery and weigh 160. I have lost 78 pounds. My dream goal would be 141, the lowest in my 5'8" normal range, and an awesome goal is 150, but I am a normal BMI.

So - I lost 33% of my total weight

But of "excess" weight, which I count as my high 238 to 165, the highest normal weight is 107%

or if excess is my dream goal I have lost 80%

And to 150, I've lost 89%

Happy? Glad I did it? Absolutely. Even with the hard parts, the tough parts, the painful parts - absolutely the best thing I have ever done for myself.
