So I'm only a little over 3 months out and I am amazed at how my hard work in the gym and dedication to eating correctly has rewarded me. Although I still have a longgggg way to go I wanted to share with you guys my excitement.

Oh yeah... sw 318 and cw 242.

cheers to your "melting".... keep up the great work!!!

I have been having pain in my hip for several years. Since I have rheumatoid arthritis I wanted to have a base line X-rays and MRI. I have had several MRI's in my life. In the past it was very painful small.
Well as I laid on the bed I thought to myself wow I am going to enter the tube and have no issues. I went in and still had plenty of room to move around and be comfortable. As I laid there I thought about my year of post op victories and I was amazed at my accomplishments and how much I have changed. I came out of the tube smiling!
Celebrate your victories big or small they seem!

Amen! I celebrated a NSV yesterday too... went to my one year check up (everything was great) and then had to go have lab work done. I always dread the lab work...no the actual stick itself...but the sitting in the lab chair. Yesterday as I sat down I realized that I had plenty of room in the chair...no longer did I have to squeeze or sit sideways!!
It's a good feeling to fit places now!!
Happy for your NSV!!

im having the same problem with back pain and hip pain there nothing i can take but tyenol it sucks

Woooow a 10k!! Congrats everyone!!! Yeah I've had a few moments in the fitting room crying from joy lol can't believe I'm fitting in to smaller and smaller sizes.

I wake up excited for another day!
I can eat foods I love in small amounts!

People who have known me my entire life have been double-taking looks bc they don't recognize me!
I'm doing my first 10k Saturday!!

I have a blog for anyone who is going through the process or wanting to. Katieagoodwin.wordpress.com

Yes! But now 8 months out I feel great. Hang in there, it does get better. The combination of nausea, pain, hunger, tiredness, and stress is enough to drive a person over the edge but it is going to get better. Somewhere around 6 months you will begin to feel a new normal. The first month is the worst I assure you.
