It's been over 20 years, since I've seen this weight!

This weekend, I blew right into Onederland!! Woohoo! I'm 53, and I had my sleeve surgery on 6/23/15. Since then, I've lost 56 pounds. I lost 20 during the 3 month pre-surgical period required by my insurance.

I feel a bit like a new person. And I don't really mean emotionally. I was a pretty confident fat person before surgery. But now, my knees and ankles and feet don't hurt. I'm enjoying wearing my clothes again, and I'm so excited about the future. I have five grandchildren, and I'm back to being that fun grandmother I always planned to be. Now, instead of just being fun in the kitchen and at the sewing machine, I'm active with them. I can be physically fun with them!

You not only blew in, you took the town by storm! Congrats on an amazing accomplishment!

This is awesome. Congratulations! I know how you feel. I'm 35 but I have never weighed 185- until now... I went right from 160 at 15 to 218 because I was pregnant and had toxemia. I'd gotten up to 266 but now I'm 185 and ecstatic about it! Way to go!

Thank you so much for your message , it hit home with me , I am 59 and really my issues where my knees and feet . I have two sweet grandchildren and a wonderful husband . I just was reading about all the folks that are anxious , seeing therapist , nut's, measuring counting , over thinking a lot . I just told my husband is there something wrong with me ? I'm just one day at a time , using common sense on what I eat and do . I am today 5 days out , feeling good and excited . Your message made me feel good and I can't wait until I and 50 or so pounds down . #onedayatatime #dontoverthink
