Almost 1 Year Post Op

Today is June 1, 2014. In 26 days it will be 1 year since I had surgery. I am amazed at where I am today compared to where I was a year ago. Here is a comparison photo of today versus a year ago:

June 20, 2013

June 1, 2014

 Highest weight: 315
 Surgery weight: 296
 Current weight: 185
 Total weight loss to date: 130

Right Arm: 11"  (I have lost 6")  Started at 17"
Left Arm: 11"    (I have lost 7")  Started at 18"

Right Leg: 20.5" (I have lost 10.5")  Started at 31"
Left Leg: 20"      (I have lost 12")  Started at 32"

Right Calf: 14"  (I have lost 5")  Started at 19"
Left Calf: 14"    (I have lost 4.5")  Started at 18.5"

Chest: 41"      (I have lost 18")  Started at 59"
Waist: 37"      (I stayed the same) (I have lost 16.5")  Started at 53.5"

I have lost a total of 79.5 inches in almost a year. I started in a size 26/28 at my highest and today I am a 12/14. 

Weight loss has slowed down a lot, which is totally fine with me. I am about 35 pounds from my goal of 150. I have a lot of loose skin and hope to someday have it removed from my legs and torso. I don't really care about my arms very much.

UPDATE ON THE HUSBAND

My husband had surgery on July 10, 2013 so in about 40 days he will be a year out. Here is a comparison photo of a year ago versus today:

He has done so good. I am really proud of him.
