Where will we be?



Recommended Posts

I know by this time next year I will be feeling A LOT better about myself and have more energy. I am looking to lose 80-100 pounds! I am looking forward to wearing Summer clothes next Summer! I cannot wait to feel comfortable or more comfortable to take my daughter swimming. It makes me sad that because of my weight I don't want to take her swimming.

I told my mom that when I get this weight off I am not going to obsess about the stretch marks that will still be there, etc. I want to be happy and healthy. I do not expect perfection and will be proud of every step I take. We tend to look how far we have to go INSTEAD of how far we have come. I am super proud of myself giving up coffee and diet dr pepper. I was a HUGE addict for both!

Hi guys. I am Julie. Was banded on 6/7. In a year from now, I hope to be at my goal weight or pretty close. I need to lose about 65 to 75lbs. So in a year, I'd love to be about 135. And in a gorgeous bikini with no leg chaffing bruises and no asthma and no heartburn as I lay out in the sun. LOL

I was banded on June 2nd. I hope to be at my goal in one year with 100 pounds lost. I have never been so excited about something as I am about this. I already feel better and I am only down 16 lbs. Good Luck to all.

I was banded yesterday - 6/28. A year from now I will have lost 85 pounds!! When I hit my goal weight, I will need to buy all new clothes. I have about 50 pairs of pants, in all sizes from 10 to 20! At 145lbs, I'll be an 8! An 8! I haven't been an 8 since I was 17 years old.

I'm also looking forward to where I'll be in 6 months time - I'll be looking forward to my company holiday party for the first time EVER!

Go June Bugs! Good luck to everyone!:ohmy:

I don't have an actual weight loss goal. Maybe that's strange considering I've just had weight loss surgery. I'm just taking this thing one day at a time. If I start focusing on the numbers, I'll drive myself crazy. My real goal is to get to a place where I'm comfortable with my body and to keep it there.

I want to be 100 lbs down at one year, preferably a goal. Goal is 140, 100 lbs down would be 162 (from pre-op diet). I'm down 30, so I have 92 to goal, and 70 to get to 162. We are going to Disney World for the first time ever in December, I'd like to be at 200 then. So, that would be 32 lbs over the next 14 weeks. Which would then be 2.3 lbs a week, which is in the range of do-ability.

I will get smaller!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
