I'm two months(ish) post op. My biggest goal is to fit into my size 14 American Eagle jeans again. Smaller would be fabulous, but man, those jeans!!! I want them so bad :)

Any other fab goals out there?

I've had a lot of goals through this journey. My first goal was to weigh under 400 pounds, then too lose 100 pounds, then to weigh under 300 pounds.

My current goal is to lose 200 pounds, which I'm only a couple pounds from reaching. After this one, my next will be to weigh under 200 pounds by my 40th birthday in June.

While I want to wear a size 12 again, my goals are to get rid of my Bi-Pap machine (Hate the mask), having more energy, and being able to take my dogs for long walks. I already have more energy than I had prior to my surgery on 2/19. I'm looking forward to the rest. :)

My current goal is not to gain any weight back and to maybe even drop 5 more lbs. during my losing part of this journey I took it 10 lbs at a time... Anything loftier then that would have been overwhelming because I had so much to lose.

It was to first be under 300, then 200, then in wonderland, then get rid of CPAP machine, then my original goal of 180. I have now met them all in 14 months. Now my goals are to get my hip replaced, maintain or lose 5 more pounds, and to get back on the tennis courts after surgery.

My goal was 170 but as I lose I now think around 140-150. When I got married 42 years ago I weighed 144. That would be amazing. My sons have never seen me under 180 and they were kids then.

      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

      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... :(
