✨ 132 Pounds Down & Still Going ✨

In 2021, I weighed over 400 lbs. By the time I had bariatric surgery, I was 391 lbs. I was exhausted physically, emotionally, and mentally. I knew I wanted more for myself, but I also knew the journey ahead wouldn’t be easy.

Bariatric surgery didn’t magically change my life overnight. It gave me a tool. The real work came afterward—changing my habits, rebuilding my relationship with food, staying consistent, and continuing to choose myself every day.

Today, I weigh 259 lbs.

That’s 132 lbs gone since surgery and a version of myself I never thought I’d meet. While I’m proud of the weight I’ve lost, I’m even more proud of the strength I’ve gained.

This journey has taught me patience, resilience, and that progress doesn’t have to be perfect to be meaningful.

To anyone considering bariatric surgery or currently on their own journey: keep going. The days will pass anyway. One day you’ll look back and be amazed by how far you’ve come. ❤️

✨ Highest Weight: 400+ lbs

✨ Surgery Weight: 391 lbs

✨ Current Weight: 259 lbs

✨ Total Lost Since Surgery: 132 lbs

✨ Goal Weight: 185–195 lbs

If you’re on your own journey, remember: progress is progress, no matter how slow it feels. Keep going. One day you’ll look back and realize you made it through things you once thought would break you.

391 lbs ➡️ 259 lbs ➡️ 185-195 lbs (Goal)

❤️ The journey isn’t over, but I’m proud of how far I’ve come.

Weight Conversion Pounds and Kilograms
In nursing, weight is one of the most important numbers for safe medication dosing. Many medications are ordered based on kilograms, while patients in the United States usually know their weight in pounds. This means nurses must be comfortable converting between pounds (lbs) and kilograms (kg).
