Down 90 Pounds In Almost 8 Months!



Recommended Posts

I haven't been posting as often as I would like, but I wanted to share my story...so far. I was banded on April 5, 2012 and have since lost 90 pounds. The one thing that has helped me actually see/comprehend the weight loss is to take monthly progress photos. I recommend this for anyone just starting out, since many of us anticipate the physical journey and difficulties, but a lot of people are unprepared for the mental and emotional difficulties of actually "seeing" your weight loss. I sometimes still look in the mirror and see my Pre-op self, and that is why my photos are so important!

Thanks for all the support I've gotten on here, especially in the beginning. Keep working hard everyone!!

-Brittany

The April photos were taken the day prior to my surgery, and the November photos were taken on Nov 5, at 86 pounds down.

Congratulations, you are doing great! I wish I had taken pictures on the way. Today is 6 months for me and I am down 44 lbs but like you said, some days I look in the mirror and just don't see that I have lost weight.

You look amazing!! And are a fast loser! :) I hope to have your level of success. My goal is -100 in the first year, even though doc says 60 is more reasonable. Surgery date Jan. 30th.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
