I recently celebrated a huge victory! My stomach (around the belly button) went from 63 inches down to 34 inches!!! Almost 30 inches lost. Holy moly! !!!

That is unfathomable. Even better my waist (my skinny part) is 31 inches, from 56 inches. So crazy! !! Measure those inches they matter!!

Sw 333 pounds, size 24

Cw- 174 pounds, size 12/14 canadian/10 american

Height 5'6"

Shout out your victories!

I'm exercising so much easier! I have lost 50 lbs with 50 to go, but what a difference 60 lbs makes on the joints! I am going 4.0 on the treadmill and I could barely do 3.0 a year ago! I'm amazed at how much easier it is to walk, hike, bike! Very happy!

SW: 263

CW: 213

I need to buy a tape measure to see my inches melt away!

I am actually running, yes running intervals on the treadmill for 20-40 mins!!and this is the set it & forget it program because the treadmill picks how long & how fast the intervals will be.

I have lost 56 pounds, I am thinking I would like to go for another 40, more likely after another 30 I will be close to where I want to be forever.

I am totally loving going to the gym & lifting weights.

I love, love this 2nd chance at life, and being a healthier me, wife & mother.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
