UpandAtom 126 Posted September 15, 2016 Hell again everyone, time for a new update since it has been four months since my 5/9/2016 surgery. The stats: High weight: 380 Weight at first visit: 365 Surgery Weight: 351 Current Weight: 249 In the four short months since surgery I have lost 102 lbs. Unbelievable. I have lost 131 since my all time high. I never would have thought this possible! SImply the best decision I've ever made and I would highly recommend to anyone looking to change their life. I feel great and exercise a ton even though a have a badly injured knee that has me pretty hobbled. But I am DONE making excuses. Injured knee or not I am going to move and keep on moving! I walk > 3 miles per day and bike approx. 5 per day. It causes me some pain but I want to get to goal and stay there. Come winter when my local forest preserves become hard to walk i am going to start and strength training and Water aerobics/swimming. I might even try cross country skiing if my knee can handle it (I am going to post an update on my knee in the guys room if anyone is interested). It is crazy the things I can do now that I couldn't a few short months ago. I'm canoeing, camping, hiking, walking, swimming. I'm enjoying new clothes I never would have worn before. Truly a life changer! All the best everyone - go get em! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Truly a life changer! All the best everyone - go get em! What a story! Awesome work. I've lost a lot pre-op (93 pounds and counting), so I have been a little nervous about what my loss will be like after my September 28 surgery. Your story is giving me some comfort since you took off quite a bit pre-op, too. All the best to you moving forward! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

migalo 142 Posted September 16, 2016 Wow well done. Inspiration! Just had preop today and I'll be staring my liquid diet somewhere around 375. I'd be stoked to see your kind of loss. I enjoy hiking and walking so looking very forward to the great outdoors. Congrats and thanks for the update.
