Recommended Posts

Today I am happy to report that I am no longer in 24's, or 22's even 20's, Okay I still wear 20's but need a belt. I am in size 18!!!!!!

I am thrilled and needed to share with someone else other then my husband. Though he did comment on how my butt is shrinking. LOL

Congratulations!!! It's a good feeling, isn't it?

I started as a 22 and currently in a 16 but they are big so I'm ready to move into a 14. :rolleyes:

Exactly! I was able to buy my first shirt in an XL and finally not in the plus section. Just seems crazy to think I can finally do that. Love it though!

Wahoo! Way to go sister! I am 6 days out and am starting in a 20 and can't wait to wear my 18's and 16's I have put away. I don't know what I would do with myself of I got lower than that! I wore 14's in middle school lol. I'm starving but seeing your success makes me proud for you and excited for me to get there!

That's awesome! Congratulations!!!

Our stats are similar. I can't wait to go shopping in the "regular" section of stores and not have to go to specialty stores. In fact, I'm just belting my clothes until I can do just that. No buying new clothes until they are a 16 or below!

That is excellent. How long did it take?

Honestly it's been 7 months. 6 months of meetings with nutritionist brought me from 234 to 217, then a month and a half after surgery I went from 20s to size 18. I couldn't go to the gym for the first six weeks so my weight loss was stalled. Some weeks are better than others.

Congratulations! Isn't it a wonderful feeling? I too just bought my first pair of dress pants since my surgery---yep, size 18! It was great! I refuse to buy anything else until I'm out of the Women's section and in the Misses section. :) Hopefully, that won't be long for either of us!

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
