gaye jarvis 751 Posted December 19, 2012 I started my journey on June 18, 2012 at 334.9 lbs, I was a very sad and sick woman who was not living, just existing. Well fast forward 6 months and I weigh 233 lbs (101 lbs), everything about my life has changed! I am loving my new life, enjoying my new body (so is my husband, he's like a kid on Christmas morning - every day!) and I love it! Thank you to Dr. King in Oxford, Mississippi, your my hero! The pictures below speak for themselves, the first two are before and are the most I ever weighed, the first one is the saddest I was ever in my life! The last two are last week (Dec 11) and I still can't believe it's me! Feb 2012, 345 lbs May 2012, 334.9 lbs (surgery day weight) Dec 11, 2012, 234 lbs Dec 11, 2012, 234 lbs 23 iagree2shine, Wink, PrincessSleeve and 20 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adkgirl 1 Posted January 18, 2013 Congratulations! You are one of the success stories I was hoping to find. I am discouraged with the speed of weightloss and don't know what I am doing wrong. I am losing 1-2 pounds per week, but am just curious if you hit slow Patches and how you got through them? I had my surgery on 12-12-12 and am down about 40 lbs, most of that came pre-op and first two weeks post. Since the first of Jan. I am only down 4 lbs. Just looking for any advise you might have. Again, Congratulations to you! You look wonderful! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
