11 months post op and so close to my goall!!



Recommended Posts

I was banded in February 6th 2012. On surgery day I weighed 314lbs. The heaviest I had ever been. My goal was to loose 100lbs by my 1 year band anniversary. Today I weighed in at 218!!! So close I can taste it. I still have a month and only 4lbs to my goal. Along with this victory I bought a pair of size 16 jeans today. When I started all I wanted was to get into a 16 and be able to shop in any store. Not just the big girl departments and stores. Now I am dreaming of a 10!! I never dreamed that I would feel this good about myself. I was always running from cameras and mirrors now my husband can't get me away from them. He has been my rock and support through this journey. Without him and my parents and wonderful friends ( that is the ones who know About my band) it would have been so much harder to reach my goals. So here's to hitting my goal of 100 and the next 50 that I aim to loose in 2013!!! Loving life and look forward to the future!!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
