size 6 and 60 pounds gone ...REALLY????



Recommended Posts

ok i just have to share. i decided to go to the store and buy some jeans since all of my clothes are hanging off my body now. I hit the clearance racks and i pulled sizes ranging from 12-8. i tried the 12 and put them on and immediatley fell to the ground, next the 10 just about the same thing happened, then the 8 they fit good and yet still a little loose, who would've thought i'd be going back for a SMALLER size (6) i put them on and they FIT i have never been able to pull up a size 6 let alone button them. OMG i almost started to cry.

i'm not one to rely on the scale so this morning i weighed myself and i have lost a total of 60 lbs!!!!!!!!!!! i love my lap band and love that it keeps me honest. it goes to show you work with it and it will work with you. me and my lap band are one. i have developed a relationship with the band. We've had our ups and downs but we continue to work through it together.

wishing everyone much success

take care

Isn't it fun to shop now? I wear an 8, but at one store and one brand (Eddie Bauer) I can wear a 6. The only 6 I can fit into, but hey, it's a 6 somehwhere!

Congrats! Enjoy your new shopping experiences...

      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! 😞
