My doctor can't believe it.............



Recommended Posts

I just thought that I would give everyone an update on my progress. I had my weigh in yesterday. My surgery was Nov. 10, 2005 and I have dropped 64lbs. I haven't even had a fill yet. As I said, my doctor couldn't believe it. Twice he asked me if I was feeling okay. Apparently I am above the average for weight loss. He said it is a bit abnormal.

My only explanation to him is that I am eating so much more healthy now than I ever have in my life. I am loving myself, excited to wake up every morning, I have a genuine smile on my face every day, and THANK GOD, those men out there who aren't afraid to say to you, damn girl you are looking GOOD. My confidence level has shot through the roof and I am so excited for the new me. More fitted clothing and shorter skirts, you bet

ya! Still camera shy though. My mother is dying to see me. The last time she saw me was when I was at my highest and that was 254lbs and that was in October.

Good Night All !!

Fantastic!

What are you eating? Are you exercising? Please share. I have only lost 15 lbs since Dec. 12, 2005. Albeit I haven't been drinking as much Water as I should and fighting my addiction to Starbuck's coffee. In fact I started drinking one cup a day about 3 wks ago and that's when the weght loss stalled.

At any rate GreatNews from you!

      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! 😞
