2 more pounds to obese class 2
ProudGrammy reacted to Seahawks Fan for a post in a topic
I’m so close to dropping into obese class 2 at 264. After that on to the next goal which would be obese class 1 and onwards. I kept my 3 & 4X shirts & worked out in them until last week when I went into XL & skipped 2X altogether. I’m frequently at the gym & now running 6mph on the treadmill. There’s still a long way to go but I feel pretty good so far. I track EVERYTHING on MyFitnessPal & it’s such a tremendous help. I also have an Instagram page with examples of plates I eat that’s a work in progress. You can check it out at, “ my_tiny_healthy_plate “. Hope all are doing well in this lifelong journey to happiness health! -

1 pointHey! Don't worry, I felt the same way and questioned my decision to undergo gastric bypass a few days after my surgery. I cried and all I wanted to do was sleep. It does get better. Vent on these forums...the members are great and we have all been there. Just remember why you chose to do WLS in the first place and you will be fine. Good luck! Message me anytime

You look great, keep up the good work! -
1 pointThat’s exactly why I’m leaving it as surgery and hard work. Both of those are true and quite frankly you are under no obligation to spill the beans just because someone else feels the need to be nosy. The lack of information is for them to figure out how to handle, not for you to do that. As you move through this process you’ll be able to recognize those you feel comfortable talking to and those you don’t. You’ll also start to feel more comfortable about the surgery itself as well. I know a lot of this is easy to for us to say and harder to do. But after I hit 40, I got to a point where I realized I was no longer going to feel obligated to do anything. I wish I would have lived my younger years that way. Lol

Having trouble believing my stomach is gone
Laughing Bird reacted to heidikristen for a post in a topic
I also had a little bit of a "freak out" moment last week when the hospital posted the results of the biopsy done of the stomach tissue that the surgeon removed. It was described as "glistening, pink, healthy tissue". Yes, I'm thankful that it wasn't diseased... but it did freak me a little to think that I voluntarily removed most of a perfectly healthy organ. I was sleeved on 5/18 and I truly DO feel hunger... but I'm learning not to fear that hunger... rather eat that small amount every two hours like my nutritionist suggested and never feel ravenous.
