7 months Post Op and have lost 81 pounds



Recommended Posts

Hey Everyone!!

I haven't posted in awhile and I thought I would drop in and post something to let people know how everything is going!!

Its been a long 7 months since my surgery and I can sit here and say its went by fast and feels like I have been banded for much longer than that. It has been nothing but positive results since I started my journey back in May and I'm continuing to be successful each day, week and month at a time.

I'm currently sitting at 81.5 pounds lost since my highest recorded weight of 344 pounds in March of 2013 and about 65 pounds of it has been since surgery!! Its beyond words of all the accomplishments and goals I have met in the past 7 months and the hard work has paid off and will continue to pay off in the future. I have stuck to my doctors guidlelines since I have been banded and have done everything in my power to eat the right things and not fall of course.

A lot of things have opened in up my life in the past 7 months and there are things that I couldn't do in the past few years that I can do now with no issues now that I have changed my lifestyle of eating and getting healthy. Its so much motivation for me and inspiration to others around me to take care of themselves and show them nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it.

I haven't had any band related issues other than I had a few episodes of getting stuck. I have vomited only once since I have had my band from getting a stomach virus a few months but it wasn't as bad as getting the flu.

For anyone that follows me on here, I have a dedicated YouTube channel that I track my progress weekly and for anyone that want's to see the transformation from when I first started my journey to present day check it out!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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...
