14 weeks and 50% down!



Recommended Posts

I am beyond thrilled to say that 50% of the weight I've set out to lose is GONE! 62 pounds gone in 14 weeks!!!

This is honestly the best decision I have EVER made for myself. I've been lucky and have had great restriction since surgery. I have yet to ever really be hungry and my outlook on food is SO different.

I have made the changes and I've reaped the benefits. I jog 2-2.5 miles a day, hoping to run a 5k by the end of the year. Then my next 'big' goal is to run the Disney Princess half marathon at Disney World in 2012. More than anything I thoroughly enjoy running.

YAY me!!!

Good for you, Twinkles. That is awesome weight loss for a 14-week period of time. That is because you changed both your eating and exercise habits. I've changed both habits, too, but I have much smaller results. I've lost 24 lbs since my 9/17/10 band surgery. Still, I'm happy with that result. Twenty-four lbs is more than 10% of my original body weight which makes a big difference in how healthy I feel.

I don't think I've yet found my sweet spot. I only had my 1st fill a few weeks ago. I currently have a 3cc fill and probably need more as I'm only somewhat restricted. I'll go back for another fill next month.

All in all, I'm thrilled with the results of my surgery. Best decision I ever made!

So amazing, Twinkles. I can "hear" the excited in your post. Good luck with your next goals and working towards your runs.

Isn't this just a fun journey when everything clicks? Sounds like you have the rountine down and have made all the right changes to live a healthier life. Don't ever lose that determination. It takes just as much and a little more when reaching that ultimate goal and it looks as if you have developed the tools to make it all work. Way to go!!!!

You are absolutely amazing and an inspiration to many. You are lucky that the weight is coming off so easily. Best success on this continue journey. Good luck with the Disney Princess run, sounds fun. I don't think I will be able to get there to do that. Can you wear a tiara to run?

Thanks all for the kudos... I AM beyond pleased with the way this all has gone for me and like someone said above, I only regret I didn't do this years ago.

HAHA - Cangel - I haven't seen any tiaras in the pictures, but I've seen many with tutus. lol... But I DO like the tiara idea!

Now that I've actually typed that goal out, it seems all to real and now I REALLY want to make sure I accomplish it!

Again, I wish all you continued success and kudos to those who have been banded and had awesome success too!!!

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
