i was scanning and faxing alot of contracts a big ago and came across a NSV that never occurred to me..and i was thinking i have got to post this and

hope someone reads it and goes, hey, thats right, so can i and just maybe....encourage (esp a larger bmi person like myself)...even if for a moment..

I have posted NSV on tying shoes, no more seat belt decapitation, putting my own socks on, fitting into regular bathroom stall...and the list is endless....

i have no shame, i just post reality as i experience it...

last year i couldnt stand for more than 5 min at a time (100% TRUTH) and here i was standing and faxing for a good 25 minutes.....i recall with great clarity having to fax one or two items and coming back to sit down as my legs, just couldnt handle the girth/weight

granted its not much ado bout anything

but to me, it was MAJOR

Love the graphic CG! Right there with ya, I hated having to get up to even go to the ladies room, now I try to get up every half an hour or so and walk down the hall just because!

This week I even started taking the stairs. I can do the 4 flights no problem...it's that 5th flight the last one that has me panting for a good 10 minutes when I get up here, but I'm determined, and your my motivation!!!!

i am so proud of YOU.

every step is a step forward..last year when i started this, to get to the bathroom here at work was 54 steps one way. with me being as large as i was, it was so hard. and i had to pause half way.....but after surgery, i went every hour and you know after a while, those 54 steps became easier and easier....that little jaunt down the hall actually helped me.......so you are 100% right GF, just keep on doing it and looksee what happens....you and stairs.

this is for you honey from me

      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
