I am now at 8 months post op.
110 pounds lost, I am 54 pounds away from my goal weight of 175 pounds!
A lady I met recently, who oversees the place where my dad lives, was talking to me about her experience. She is 7 years post op, and plateaued at 2 and a half years at 145 pounds. She was right at 300 pounds at her surgery. I was 339.9 at my surgery, and since I have already lost 110 pounds out of 164, I am hoping that I may be able to surpass my goal of 175! My New Year's resolution is to make exercising harder a priority. I do walk a good bit now, and make it a point to get some walking in everyday; however, now is the time where some good strength training would become beneficial.
I have re enrolled in school, work a full time job and I run a couponing/savings website - so I am pretty busy. I have to make time for me. Afterall, this was MY goal. MY dream - to be healthy. Not thin, but healthy.
For those who are asking, or for new readers who never knew, here are my before and after stats:
Before:
339 pounds (352 last year)
Size: 26 W
BP: 137/75
Glucose (Non Fasting): 180
Now:
229 pounds
Size: 14/16W
BP: 90/52
Glucose (Non Fasting): 88
