Jane_J 117 Posted June 13, 2010 I am at 13 months out from the op but I lost 21lbs of it in the pre-op time which for me was long as I had to postpone once cos I had a cold.:thumbup: So its been a slow and steady thing. I feel absolutely great these days. I remeber hitting a BMI of 25 and rushing around telling everyone I was normal!! Before that it was 30 and rushing around telling everyone I was now just overweight! Good luck with your journey. Tiffiykins did it much faster than me as she committed to a proper exercise program. She is awesome. I am only just discovering the joys of exercise. I just did walking which at the start was an achievement in itself. I am doing a Race for Life 5k on the 27th so wish me luck please.:scared0: Cheers, Jane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Goodlife, no I actually thought I would be dead by now, I felt so bad. Other people have told me I was courageous having the op but it wasn't really, it was a last attempt to regain some form of life. I did not expect it to go this well and now it has I am very enthusiastic for other people in a similar situation to do it too. This forum is an absolute lifeline. I think we should send links to it all the fatties we know on the off chance they may read it and be convinced. Good luck to you and all the other VSGers.
