Uuuggghhhh Time Is Sooo Slow!!!



Recommended Posts

Just crossed into the 290's and feeling spiffy! I was banded in November but I lost 30 pre op my goal is 140 I take it a pound at a time and try not to look at the long road ahead

Very inspirational.

My wife was banded last October (late october) and has lost 50 lbs...when I took her to JC Penny's she actually got into a smaller size and she was just in the normal jeans section..not the maternity (which she expected)....I can't wait until my waist size goes down...I expect to be in at least 34 waist jeans next year at this time.

Hey bigmomma, I'm totallly with you on this one! I've made an appointment with a great surgeon but it's not for another couple of weeks! Aghh! I'm so ready and so willing to lose the weight with the help of the band, I just need to be patient...which can definitely be a big struggle for me.... And I wouldn't give yourself too hard of a time with the few extra pounds you've gained -- just think about the future and how much better it's going to get, especially if you continue to put the work into it that you are now. Keep it up! You'll do great!!!!

      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! 😞
