Introduction

A woman named Mad-Hokte has inspired many individuals by sharing her weight loss journey on Reddit. She had undergone WLS and diligently reduced her caloric intake and increased exercise which resulted in an impressive weight loss of 210lbs in 36 months.

Transformation

Mad-Hokte's success is evident in her before-and-after pictures displayed in her post. Many Reddit users have commented on the dramatic change, particularly on her face, which has lost an incredible amount of weight. Her skin looked amazing, which she shared was one of the side effects of weight loss surgery. She did not only achieve weight loss, but she also gained confidence and discovered a love for expressing herself through piercings.

WLS Explained

Mad-Hokte specifically had the roux-en-y gastric bypass, which is a weight loss surgery that significantly reduces food intake by dividing the stomach into two compartments, creating a smaller stomach pouch. This procedure is irreversible and can only be done by a qualified surgeon. WLS may result in some side effects such as bloating, dumping syndrome, and dehydration. It's important to note that WLS isn't a magic solution for weight loss, and it still requires significant lifestyle changes.

Lifestyle Changes

Mad-Hokte attributed her success to a combination of WLS, reduced caloric intake, and increased exercise. She started by limiting her daily caloric intake and began incorporating low-impact exercise such as walking and gradually increased her workout intensity. She also joined a support group for weight loss surgery patients, which helped her stay motivated and remained on track on her weight loss journey. Although her journey has been challenging, she said the rewards are priceless.

Conclusion

Mad-Hokte's 36-month weight loss journey is a testament to determination, perseverance, and the magic of science. Her journey proves that change is possible with the right motivation and support. Although WLS may not be ideal for everyone, her story encourages everyone to adopt a healthier lifestyle by eating well, keeping active, staying motivated, and surrounding oneself with support.
