Almost There



Recommended Posts

I'm almost there!!!! I had my surgery on August 11, 2010 and feel it was my best decision ever. I actually started my preop diet 5 weeks prior to surgery date. My starting weight was 387. Surgery day I was 350. I weighed this morning at the gym and was 278. 109lbs down in a little over 6 months and about 23 to go for goal. I didn't start with a problem eating good foods; my problem was quantity. I also have been very disciplined about going to the gym twice a day, 5 days a week. I usually do 40-50 minutes of cardio in the morning before work and my strength/core training during my lunch. All I can tell you is when you start seeing results, that impulse that use to make you eat more food (because it felt good), takes over and makes you want more weight loss. Every week in the gym has been more intense than the last. Constant progress in strength gains and duration/intensity on cardio has paid off. Congrats to you all whom have had similar progress and I wish you all the best and a very Merry Christmas......

Congratulations, Duane! Those are awesome numbers. I was just banded two weeks ago, so am still getting starting on my journey. I hope to be where you are in six months or so.

Thanks for the inspiration. Merry Christmas!

Great information!! Congrats!

Congrats on your decision to make a change in your life. I just wanted to update this thread with my current weight. I'm sitting at 269 now; down from 387. Because I'm 6'6", alot of people tell me I look like I weigh less than that. I'm finally starting to see more of the muscles I had when I played ball in highschool and in the military. I only have about 15lbs to go, then I'll be coasting.......

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
