Dashofpixiedust8 1,469 Posted April 20, 2017 I am beyond ecstatic. I am now below 300 pounds! I started at 540 pounds on October 29, 2015 when I started this whole journey. I had surgery on May 29, 2016 at 480 pounds and Now, 10 1/2 months later I weigh 297.8! I have not had a 2 in the front of my weight in FOREVER. I only have 98 pounds to go until I hit my goal! (Which may change, I'm more going for a clothing size goal now more than a number goal ) I used to have to be on oxygen all the time because I was so fat I could not breathe properly. Now I can walk for over an hour with no break and not be out of breath! I am so extremely happy with my progress! I used to HATE getting my picture taken, it was the WORST. Now I love getting in front of the camera, I ASK for pictures to be taken! This is the craziest thing for me. I feel pretty for the first time in a very very long time. I started out at a size 6x (36-38) and now wear a an 18/20 on top and 22 on bottom. I even wear leggings now! I have a large hanging skin on my stomach which I am having removed on June 5th! I will need a revision surgery when I get to goal but I am very excited for the surgery and the relief it will give me. Here are some before and after pics for you guys! 24 blizair09, ursusmaritimus, Ldyvenus and 21 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also some days my stomach feels gross and I don't want to eat. Did you have any of these issues. Also it's embarrassing but I have a terrible diarriah problem. Any encouragement will help!you look great!!!! Thank you 1 Dashofpixiedust8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
