I haven’t shared this. I had surgery in November 2023.
I am now at 248.9 #
I was at 340 #
I was on insulin. Blood pressure and cholesterol meds.
I am now on NOTHING! yay!
These photos are pre-surgery





These are post-surgery




This has been the hardest 7 months of my life! Physically I’m doing incredible. Working out 5 days a week. Off all meds. Mentally it’s thrown my OCD/Anxiety into overdrive.
I don’t recommend surgery. But I’m finally getting my health back. Looking forward to backpacking this year.
God is good, one day at a time.
Don’t let your health go. Take care of yourself.
