Recommended Posts

I am so excited, yet very nervous. I've lost 13 pounds on the pre-op diet and I can't wait to continue on my journey. This forum is awesome!

My surgery was Aug. 10, 2011. I've lost about 60-65lb.s in all. I'm wearing attractive clothes again...not the "fat uniforms" that I used to wear. I still have a problem with "me" & temptation. But I am determined to stay healthy.I can now play with my grand children...get down in the floor...& get up again like I did years ago. Yes, I flabbed at first, but gradually, my skin started to tighten up. I would loose pounds & then stop. Then i would suddenly realize that I had dropped another clothing size. Talk about ":wow'. It was quite an adjustment. When I get tempted, I look at photos that I have in a special file on my pc. It is full of the worst pictures of me at my heaviest weight at the worst possible angles. I open that file & ask myself if I really want to go there again. It's hard in that my head gets hungry (not my stomach!) Boy do me & myself have some arguments!But, now i wore heels...really sharp looking ones...for the first time in years...comfortably. And I can cross my legs again, like a lady. Love it. I feel younger, feminine, attractive again & it's wonderful.

Just follow your doctor's orders 7 take it easy at first. If you have any concerns..no matter how silly they may seem to you, they arn't to your doctor. The more that you know & understand, the better it will be for you & your doctor. You will be in my prayers this am.

      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?
