1 Year Out Today!!!



Recommended Posts

One year ago I was on my drive to the hospital to have the VSG done. I remember how nervous I was and was just hoping and praying that this would work for me. The nurses had trouble getting the IV started and I wondered if that was a sign that this procedure wasn't for me. BUT, I'm happy to report that it totally was for me:thumbup: I'm going to post my monthly weight loss stats below. I want to thank everyone here on the board for their support and am so excited to see what year two will bring. Good luck to all those contemplating taking this step, hopefully you will come to the best decision for you!

Pre-op diet (1 month): -16 pounds

Month 1: -21 pounds

Month 2: -15 pounds

Month 3: -11 pounds

Month 4: -13 pounds

Month 5: -9 pounds

Month 6: -4 pounds

Month 7: -5.5 pounds (hit during this month)

Month 8: -5.5 pounds (went below goal)

Months 9-11: +/- 3 pounds

Some pictures:

The first swimsuit picture is what started it all. The second swimsuit picture is me from a couple weeks ago while in SC. I now live a much more active lifestyle and love to bike around town with my husband on my pink cruiser. The last one is my new profile picture.

Thank you all for the kind words!

I pretty much eat 4-5 small meals a day. I no longer track anything, but make sure to take my Vitamins and if I ever have issues, I'll start tracking.

Today (not the greatest example of quality eating:-)

breakfast-Jimmy Dean's sausage Breakfast bowl (I ate about half)

mid-morning snack-two pieces of a quesadilla leftover from last night

lunch-salad and Soup (ate about a quarter of the salad and 1/3 of soup)

dinner-6" sub from subway (can now eat most of it, but take off the top half of the bread)

dessert-couple handfuls of chips, half a creamsicle (ate at two different times)

      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
