ALFxRNY

I don't think anyone comes here anymore but wanted to post anyway. I am not doing so great on my journey. Put on so much weight and trying to fix it. From the pandemic to losing some family members and very recently losing my mom things have just been really hard. I am still trying but I'm extremely discouraged. My surgeon had already given up on me for not losing enough weight. I've been referred to another surgeon to figure out how to get me back on track. I pray everyone else's journey is going well. Take care of yourselves

BTW, got the new girls

Those of you struggling with sagging and falling out of the cups must try these bras. They are truly awesome!

I think I'm a 38D now but my poor girls look like deflated balloons, just pitiful. Don't even want to stay in the cups most days

I’m 5’7” and at my heaviest I was 321 but when I started my journey I was 309. My surgery date is 6/28/18. At the end of my 7 months of required nutrition visits I was 283. But then I got on birth control and ballooned up to 294. I was told not to worry about it because the liquid diet will take the weight off but it is very annoying 🤦🏽‍♀️

I've been wondering where [mention=335760]Frustr8[/mention] has gone. I miss seeing her on this board.

Hey everyone! I am nowhere near where I want or need to be but I am doing okay. My goal is around 175 but my scale keeps fluctuating between 197-202 and it’s been this way a while. This is me currently. Still fighting the good fight. You all look amazing. Hope all is well with you all 🤗🤗🤗

Happy Belated 1 Year Rebirthday/Surgiversary to all of the May and June summer surgery buddies!!! I celebrated 1 year out on June 28th! Also want to with all of the July summer surgery buddies the same! We did it guys!!!

How is everyone?? I’m alive. For now. Been struggling with some medical conditions lately (was just diagnosed with Hashimotos), still dealing with problems that come from starvation (can’t afford food or meds or anything....) Thought I’d share my Breakfast with y’all. It’s a banana with a little Peanut Butter, a small amount of honey, and some chia seeds sprinkles on top. Not much, but it’s something.



I quit my job due to my unexpected illness, and am now moving cross country. I posted my resume online and have gotten one phone call so far for an interview. Hoping that I can survive long enough to get a decent paying job. (Moving up in the world!)

I wanted so share some photos. The one with me and my cousin was actually a while ago but I was the same weight before my surgery. Started at 252 and am down to 168. I’ve come a long way. Anyways I posted the first picture on my Facebook from since my surgery. I’m in a medium shirt!! Omg!! The skinny girl on the left is my cousin. Love her so much 😂 :)

@alfxrny what is it about 220?! I’ve been stalled out in the same range but got to 217 this morning. I’ve been worried since this is where I hit the wall losing weight through WeightWatchers before.

That was my post on Jan. 12. Since then, I'm stuck at between 191 and 189. I am beginning week 3 of my workout and am for the most part back on track with eating but the scale is not budging. This makes me so sad! I'm going to start back tracking my food today. I had stopped writing it down and thought I was doing a good job on guesstimating.

Happy New Year everyone!

I don't post a lot, I kinda lurk. But I love hearing about everyone's process and progress! I'm 5 months post op tomorrow! I can't believe how much time has already gone by!

I'm currently stalled out, I blame letting too much sugar back into my diet over the holidays. I think I'm still losing inches though, and hopefully the scale will start moving again soon.

Hope everyone's New Year is of to a great start!

I love being able to try on anything! Even if it ends up looking absurd lol!!!

I had already posted my NSV's a few weeks ago, but got some new ones:

Officially threw my size 14 jeans up on the fat clothes shelf in my closet. Those tight size 12's are no longer tight.

Had to change the wrist strap to my watch from the large size to the small.

Can wear a long sleeve top AND a sweater AND a jacket liner underneath my winter coat and still able to zip up easily (last winter I could only close the coat - barely - if i wore a very thin shirt underneath).

Can wear nice thick woollen socks in my boots now (my feet shrunk!)

Found at by accident that I could sit on the floor with my legs crossed underneath me comfortably. I haven't been able to do that in years.

Hello. Sleeved Aug 15. Down 48 post surgery, 63 since pre surgery diet. Went from size 22 down to 16. Still nauseous and throwing up sometimes. Not tolerating most meats, eggs, or tuna. Still struggle to meet Protein, liquid, and exercise goals. Happy about the weight loss so far but nervous that the honeymoon period is going to end before I am fully in a routine of hitting those daily goals and then of course it'll be extra hard to get to a completely healthy weight. I haven't given up though.

September 2017- attended seminar, a few days later I got a letter of necessity from my pcp

October 2017- first consultation with surgeon

November 2017- started my 7 months of nutrition with the nutritionist. Did my sleep study. Did my abdominal ultrasound. Also did my cardiologist appointments

February 2018- had my upper endoscopy (performed by my surgeon)

April 2018- did my psych evaluation

May 2018- finished my nutrition appointments and attended my preop class

June 2018- had my rny/bypass

I found out that I was approved by insurance about 5 days after my paperwork was submitted and got the letter from insurance the following week

My weight loss has been stubbornly slow. I’m down to 184 at the moment. I’m in side lg shirts and size 18 pants. I can’t eat anything without being nauseated.

Wearing jeans I haven’t wore in a year.

Our thread seems to have died. I admit I’m not on as often as I used to be. How has everyone been? Hope all our summer surgery friends are doing well. Wishing all of you a happy, blessed, and prosperous new year!

You look fitter, younger, happier and more confident! Nice job!

Other nsv, my new obsession with actually trying on clothes lol. Was always afraid to because things didn’t fit and I’d be disappointed. Not the case anymore!

Hmmm, current nsv, not gaining over the thanksgiving holiday. I mean I don’t cook for thanksgiving but still. My weight has been stalling like crazy but my measurements are still shrinking. I was able to fit into a size 14 pair of jeans earlier in the month. Impossible!

I’ve always been cold but with the weight loss I am FREEZING
