6 month bandiversary photo



Recommended Posts

It's my 6 month bandiversary so I thought I'd update with pictures. I don't think I look that much different in the pictures, but I feel better and my pre-surgery clothes don't fit! Can't wait to see how I look when I lose all the weight and get some plastic surgery!

Thanks for all or your support - couldn't have done this without you guys to cheer me on and answer all my questions! THANK YOU ALL!!!

Thanks - ya'll are so sweet and make me feel good! Vickie - that top is either a 22/24 or 18/20 - Private message me your address and I'll send it to you! I got it at Lane Bryant and is is super cute. I only wore it twice. It can be like the LBT traveling pants - we'll send it on after we "under"grow it! Seriously I will send it to you if you give me your address. (just went and tried it on and it doesn't fit anymore - rather give it to you then Goodwill!)

You don't see a difference? Are you kidding?? Look at your arms. They are hanging closer to your body. And you chin is more defined. We can't always see things close to us. Like the old can't see the forest for the trees.

You look fabby, girl. Keep it up and be proud of yourself. :clap2:

Of COURSE we can see a difference, especially in your face. Your trunk, midsection and thighs seem smaller. If every 10 lbs makes a big difference in how our clothes fit (for tinier people, 5 lbs makes a difference) then no wonder your pre-op clothes don't fit. HECK, you lost half a Hilton Sister! :clap2:

Happy Band Journeys To All...

      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... :(
