As of yesterday, i'm officially down 60 pounds since my surgery date of Jan 25, 13. Today I celebrated by running my first 5k.

I never thought in a million years i'd be in a 5k, voluntarily, let alone JOGGING it.

WLS surgery has been the hardest thing I've ever done in my life, but little moments like this remind me of why I did it.

I attached a photo of a very happy me at the finish line. :)

Wow congrats! That's one of my goals too.

I am going to be banded June 21st. May I ask how you found WLS hard compared to other programs? I am nervous.

It's by no means an easy out to weight lose. I've probably worked harded with this than any fad diet or program before. You really have to learn about YOURBODY and what works for YOU and the band. Think of your band as a marriage. It's no longer just you, you need to consult your other half before making desicions.

For me the hardest park of my journey has been the excepting myself for who I am. Weightloss is hard when you've been over weight your whole life. I have to look at myself and remind myself that I'm not who I used to be anymore, and learn to love/embrace the new me.

Congratulations! I envy you and wish I could do a 5k but due to my disability I'm unable to run but I'm walking and not relying on a mobility cart or my scooter. I'm walking with a cane for many years and have depended on wheelchairs, scooters and mobility carts. I know I'd lose faster if I could jog or run but I can swim and walk with my cane do I'm getting there.

I'm losing slowly, I was banded on 12/28/12 and as of today I'm down 50 lbs. so I'm happy.

      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?

      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... :(
