Isn't it an amazing feeling to see that huge milestone. You have smashed it in such a short time too. What can you do now that you struggled with 100lbs ago ?

I made a comment a while ago that it is amazing how as you gain weight you don't notice all the negative changes to your body but when you loose the weight you notice EVERY TINY CHANGE!

My knees no longer grind when walking up steps.

My feet and ankles don't swell up when walking around or being on them for a period of time.

I get up from sitting much easier.

I walked around all day (9 hours) at the amusement park and didn't really get worn out or "ready to go" in a few hours.

I fit into smaller booth seats at restaurants, and don't worry about specifically asking for a table.

Gezz, the list could go on and on!

I need to remeasure myself because I see a huge difference. Even my shoes are loose.

I went from a 4x shirt to a 1x or 2x depending on the cut. Size 26 jeans down to a size 20, which is loose.

Flip side, so many almost new expensive clothes to donation! Three trash bags already and I need to go through my shirts tonight! We really need to find a way to do a clothing exchange for bariatric patients.

Great job!

I had to pick up a 50 lb bag of pet food the other day and it was pretty heavy! Then I realized I'd been carrying around the equivalent of almost 2 of those every day for years pre-surgery.

Imagine how you'll feel after the next 100 lbs are gone!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
