I had surgery last week and oh my Lanta, i am getting a little depressed. I keep telling myself this is going to be so worth it but dang I still hurt, can't sleep in my bed, can't eat food, and I'm by myself all day. Not to mention it hurts to get up and down and if I drop something..... Forget about it lol. Sorry guys I think I'm just a little tired and needed to vent. But don't get me wrong I look forward to the future and am so excited for this new journey!!! This IS going to be worth it, I know it :)

Hi Kristin,

HOPE .... You are right that is the critical piece. The Pain will get us to the surgery but I have found only Hope will carry you down the path to Victory.

"Hope in Your Future is POWER in Your PRESENT".

Seize your Victory every day.. I did and so did my sister www.300poundsdown.com and others following "30 Seconds to Victory plan."

People mistakenly think that this journey is about doing the Extraordinary but it's not... It's about doing the ORDINARY, DAILY.

I completely understand what you are saying. The first week after surgery I thought I had made a mistake. I was in pain, I could hardly eat or drink anything and my emotions were all over the place.

I made it, and so will you. I'm 6 months out and 75 pounds down. It was not easy, but you can do it!!

Hey Crystal,

Thanks I will be sure to mention that too her. Every extra bit of encouragement she appreciates especially as she works toward the 200 bench mark : )

Have an awesome day!

      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?

      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
