Recommended Posts

today is an exciting day for me! october 20th of last year, my birthday, i weighed in at 308! my surgery was december 7th and i had lost roughly 20 pounds from my birthday to surgery date! well today my friends, 5 months after my life changing surgery, i weighed in at 207!!!!!! i really didnt think this day would get here, and here it is! i would like to lose about 50 more pounds but that will happen sooner than later i suppose!! i just wanted to share this happy moment with everyone and hope that some pre-op and early post-op people see this post and are reassured that this surgery is the best decision you can make for yourself! i have absolutely no regrets! our family is headed to the beach next month and i am actually excited about bathing suit shopping!! i get to wear something cute and not look like a granny out on the beach!!!!!!!! ;)

You're awesome chickee ! ! ! They haven't given any info on the beaches down here for the oil crisis long term. They have put out a bunch of fiberglass boon things that are supposed to soak up the oil.

It's kind of scary. I missed the local news last night because we were at a little league baseball game.

I'm super proud of you and all your success ! ! !

      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
