ms.pinup85 28 Posted September 23, 2012 Hey everybody it's been awhile since I been on here I just wanted to talk about my progress I had my surgery May 21,2012 I was 271 it's now 4 months later I am 192.6 and still losing I can remember the day I reached onederland I was so happy I took a picture of the scale lol...I am 37 pounds away from goal and I am getting there slowly but surely I work out 4-5 times a week for at least a hour in the gym and sometimes it gets rough but I am determined here are some before and after pictures 3 Misty, berniec and Cheryl Barfoot reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tbooks 40 Posted September 23, 2012 I definitely know its going to be a struggle, but overall it definitely looks like you havent allowed falling short to totally deter you. Looking at the before to the now shows you have put in work...It is a good feeling to see that as long as we do what we need to do we can reach these realistic goals...I hope to have my surgery sometime next month and just want to be as successful as I can be because I know everyone is different. At the beginning for you was it really hard to get your liquids down, and have you had any dumping? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
