I'm over the halfway mark to my weight goal! -
I had my gastric sleeve done September 10, 2020... I started out 330# before surgery.... I'm down to 260# now... I've been stalled out for over two months now.... I exercise when I can (Bad back/knees)... I follow my diet , get my protein and drink my water... But still not losing any weight... I've done everything I can think of to break the stall.... Even went back to liquid diet.... Sometimes I think this was a mistake having the surgery...
-
sorry to hear that don't feel down. Maybe a reset meaning something new. I am in the process of having the surgery a second time. I had Lapland in 2012 removed in 2018 and I have gained everything back and some. When I stalled on lapband I had to do something new for me I joined a free boot camp and Zumba and then boom dropped 38 pounds in 2 months. I know you said bad back and knees so find something with your limits. But I think try something new I stalled for 8 months

Did my weekly weigh in this morning and am a little disappointed that the scale has not budged since last week. However, I am focusing on the fact that I'm sticking to my plan and that I can see that I'm losing weight, not only in my face, but in how my clothes fit. Guess I'll be using the quarantine to do a big purge in my closet!
-
I know the feeling. The scale is an awful tool. It has way too much power over us.

As of this morning I'm only 9 lbs away from hitting 100 lb weight loss. I'm hoping to lose those 9 lbs by my 6 month post op mark. Time to put in overtime!

I'm contemplating getting rid of my now ridiculously large clothes. For me it's big step to let go and just do it. My old clothes are like a safety net that I want to keep, but something tells me if I keep that safety net then I will go back up to my old weight.

I met with my surgeon on Friday.. I've completed all my tests and all my nutrition meetings as well as meeting the weight loss requirements for my insurance. We are officially submitting to insurance for approval and I was given a surgery date of January 16th 2020 (13 days before my birthday!) Fingers crossed all goes through
-
Feel as if I am not losing the weight as fast as others that I know. Any advice that may help?
-
The only way I can tell that I'm losing weight is from the scale and my clothes "getting bigger".

Here I am on October 4, 2019 thinking back over my Lapband journey and how I thought I would be banded for life. Unfortunately, I have been sick for some time, and am on medications; and well my weight has constantly slowly increased. I was 225 pounds when I had my Lapband surgery on Dec. 17, 2010. At least my weight hasn't reached 210. I have been fluctuating between 202-206. For that, I'm grateful. I'm just excited to be able to have another tool to assist me with my weight loss journey. I'm not looking forward to the liquid stage, however.

I'm going in for a sleeve revision October 4th. It worked well for me, and I am not back to my starting weight. However, a revision is strongly encouraged at this time (there are additional medical issues). I have decided to forgo the insurance process, even though I know I would eventually be approved. "Eventually" is the key issue here. I have a small window to create this to where it will not impact my work or home life as much, and waiting for the insurance approval would take over a year.

My Surgeon asked me a question the other day and i didn't give it a lot of thought at the time.
He asked "do you tell"
we were talking about peoples reaction to seeing me since i lost such a large amount of me.
I answered that i do tell if they ask but that it seems most everyone is afraid to mention it if they haven't seen me in a while or they decided they already know the answer so they don't need the truth from me (we all know those types)
I have had exactly one family friend come right out and ask me how i lost so much weight this year and i told her i had Gastric Sleeve.
I am sure family has passed it around to other family (you have that type family don't you? or is it just me)
So that left me wondering "do you tell" and i dont mean right at surgery time. more like a year or so down the road do you say how or do you just say cut out the sugar and carbs and WAALAA
Its a real personal choice to open yourself up to that kind of criticism and we know all about how we took the "Easy" way and yada yada yada.
hope everyone is having a great week

If people ask, I am open about it

People know cuz my sissies have big mouths. And when skinny peeps ask out of morbid curiousity and they are "related" somehow to me, I look at em and arch my eyebrow and smile like, WTF? Then I just shrug and say, "I can neither confirm nor deny." (I've practiced this in the mirror many times. LOL!)
But today, I was talking to a lady in my oncologist's office and she said "Oh don't you love you Surgeon X - bariatric surgeon? I'm in her weigh loss program!" And so I really opened up to her and talked frankly about the program and the surgery and details and how I'm so much happier and healthier, etc. So there has to be a real genuine need and desire for comraderie--otherwise, "Bye Felicia..."

08/20/18 - weight 165.5 / bmi 25.9 / bmr 1602 kcals / fat% 17.4% / fat mass 29 lbs
08/16/19 - weight 149.5 / bmi 23.5 / bmr 1500 kcals / fat% 16.7% / fat mass 25 lbs
desired range fat % 11-22 / fat mass 17-38.5 lbs
just got back from my 2 year check up and wanted to post. The kcal drop has me worried and thinking i need to up the weights and trim back the cardio. Never saw myself as a person who cared for bulky muscles but the increased calorie burn from more muscle mass certainly wont hurt.
New goal for the next year i guess.

With my kids, I simply told them that the reason I was doing it was so that I could do more with them, and be more involved...I mean I went to most of their baseball and football games, but, to be more involved, in actually teaching them how to play their sports and coaching them...they caught on pretty easy...I tease them and ask them if they will share some of their "bad" food with me...and they say "Daddy, you can't have that...you know better..."

hey guys..... been a long time. Update: We are nearing a conclusion on the propery settlement with my ex.... it's been two longggg years.
It will be two years March that my beloved Tina (my band) has been gone. Not going to lie, keeping the weight off has been HARD... but still chugging along. Weight is at 155ish.... but I joined Crossfit and my body is becoming more leaner and stronger. I didn't realize how weak i had become. I really thought id die doing crossfit.... but i have really started to love it.... I know... but i do.
Two weekends ago... i bought my very first wedding dress.... (picture attached). I know i was married twice but both were when i was prego... and never had one. This is the last time, so im doing it right. We are going to Jekyll Island Club Resort.... Looks like September 2019....
Thursday the 7th we leave for a short mini vaca to San Pedro.... and then the Honeymoon May 15-24 is in Italy.... Venice, Florence and then Rome. I know we are doing it backwards, the the trip was planned first.
Miss you guys..... if anyone wants to fb me or Instagram or email..... Christina Callahan Cenac (fb), christinacenac (Instagram) or christina2315dd@yahoo.com (email)
P.S. Yes the dress still needs adjustments... hehe

You are going to be a beautiful bride Bayou!
Wow, still having to deal with that property settlement? Man, that is crazy.
You so deserve all of this happiness you have found with Tim. I swear he is the reward for all the years of suffering. I hope he knows he got the rainbow unicorn!

I have actually thought of you a many times after you lost your band and wondered how you are doing. I think your weight is absolutely amazing. I don't know if I could hold my down without the band! Jekyll Island is great...I live in Georgia...it is beautiful and you are going to make a beautiful bride! Good luck!

I'm 13 years out from having weight loss surgery. I would have to say it was the best choice I have ever made. I have been successful BUT now I'm feeling like I'm sliding back and getting comfortable with old eating habits. I absolutely do not want to ever go back to where I came from. I'm just needing support and some pointers to get me focused again. Any one have any thoughts or suggestions. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

Gastric banded March 2013, lost lbs. Had removed Dec. 2016 due to complications of hernia. Had band removed with fundoplication.
Gained back weight wasn't happy. Started journey again cause i was determined so on had 1Feb 2019, nissen takedown with hernia repair with Roux-en-y gastric bypass!
-
Well January finally did it. Started the month and ended the month at the exact same weight.
First time my weight journal has had a Zero written in it.
Feb 1 is the 18 month mark and it does feel like the end of one journey and the start of another.
Do not see the surgeon again till August but he was happy at 175 so i do not see any issues there.
-
I stalled out in January as well. Maybe from less activity in the cold weather? Anyway, you've had amazing success so far. Hope all continues well with your journey, whether losing or maintaining.

Ten years ago I had by-pass surgery. My starting weight was 562. It has been a long road, and I wanted my goal to be 180. I am 218 and now I find out my weight for 5'1" should be 143. I really think I can get that thin. HELP!!!!!
-
You may want to be thinner, but that is a success! Wow! You must feel so much healthier now!
-
Of course you can get to 143! You lost 344 pounds...didn't you? And, honestly, did that seem possible all those years ago?
Orchids&Dragons is right. You've done awesome so far. While there's never a guarantee, you've proven that it's possible. Patience is your best friend.
-
Girl! Super congrats!!!! Like these ladies have said, you've done the hard part! Now just take it one meal at a time/1 day at a time and do this thing! SMASH it! Set those short term goals. You'll break into onderland before you know it. You're so close!!!! You can doooo eeettttt!

Hello again,
I have lost a total of 72 lbs. Feeling pretty frustrated with myself because I have been at the same weight for about 6 weeks. BUT considering it has been through the holidays and there has been a lot of celebrating ... I am cutting myself some slack. 😕 At least I have not gained! 😬
-
I went to my 4th NUT appointment this week and I was absolutely surprised that I had actually lost 9 pounds from my last appointment. I can get a bit obsessive when it comes to scale use so I've decided to only do pre-op weigh-ins at my monthly appointments. It saves me a lot of anxiety, I think.
I actually was prepared to go to the appointment with excuses on why i gained, so this was a big win. I didn't actually add much activity to my routine, the only thing I changed was having protein shakes every morning instead of just weekdays. I really thought my extracuricular snacking activities were going to cause an issue, but I'm not going to let that make feel like it's ok to snack late or keep eating cheese non-stop. Also probably helps that I had the stomach bug a couple days last week. I think my organs liquified and came out....yuck...
