I HAVE LOST 55 POUNDS



Recommended Posts

YES I am still overweight but the weight is coming off! I am so happy because I am smaller right now than I was 4 years ago. I am happy because I no longer have to take my insulin resistance medication. I am happy because even though I am not shopping in the petite section, I can actually find my size in some stores.

In March I was a size 28 womens or 4x, now in July I am a size 22-24 or 2x. My Husband says that I am "HOT", and I think more of my appearance now because i wanna keep getting those compliments!

Surgery Day: April 11 (Lapband with Gastric Plication)

Starting Weight 355

Target Weight 145

Current Weight 300

Band Fill 3.5cc

Since getting surgery, I have become more active because I go to the gym 3 times a week and I see a fitness coach and a dietician. Everyone is amazed at the weight loss. I feel so much better and I have a pep in my step! I am hoping that I could lose about 20 more pounds before christmas.Even though I am still 150 pounds away from my goal, I am one step closer! Wish me luck! Anyway, I just wanted to tell someone that I lost 55 pounds.

You can do that easy by Christmas. I had my surgery April 4th and am now down 80 pounds (I know I need to fix my ticker) I am hoping to hit 100 by my birthday in October! It is a lot of work, I work out 5 days a week and ride my bike almost everyday. I started out a size 26 and am now down to a 18 and some 16's! It is hard not to look at the plus size clothes, you will be their soon too! congrats and keep up the good work.

I have a feeling you're going to lose way more than 20 pounds by Christmas. I started out right about the same place you did and lost 85 pounds the first 8 months. You're already 10 pounds ahead of where I was at the same point. You're doing great. Keep up the good work!

Hi Cindy and Brenda,

Thanks for the encouraging words, and Brenda I hope to be 100 pounds down before the end of the year too. I guess that I didn't want to set myself up for failure. I hope that you make it, at your rate of weight loss I am sure that you will. I just want to shop anywhere with out having to search for the plus size section every time. My goal is to be a size 10, and I will get there.

Thanks :)

In about 50 more pounds down, I may see myself as a Hottie :lol: I will keep everyone posted. The next 50 lbs will be even better. And yes, m hubby is my rock and I love that even when I was my heaviest he has Never once called me FAT. For that is the reason for my success because I have someone that is always checking on my progress every step of the way.

Thank You,

FeFe

      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! 😞
