Road to "TWOterville"



Recommended Posts

Well, I guess I'm plateauing too. (is plateauing a word? LOL!) I haven't lost a thing in almost 2 weeks. I'm not getting frusterated though, I was losing a lot there for a while. I'm still restricted and my eating habits haven't really changed. Hopefully, this will pass soon.

I did have a good day yesterday though. I had to buy a dress for a shower...and....I'm now a size 20. I started this process a size 30! I actually did a little victory dance in the fitting room!!!

Libra that is so cool that you bought a size 20! I don't blame you for dancing in the fitting room--you deserve to bust a move over that accomplishment...size 30 sucked big time. I could never find anything cute to wear so shopping for something like a shower was pure torture! Great NSV for you!

Ahh the weekend, when everyone is out having fun and not posting, except me :) hehe, jk :tea:

OK so I seem to be losing steady which is awesome, I am breezing through the 80's yay :clap2: Everything has been great and then last night happened. Dud duh duh, can you here the music? Ok I know I'm corny. Well basically I took my meds before bed as always went to lay donw like 10 minutes later thinking it was all good. Instant stuck feeling and nausea, sat up told my DH I'd be to bed as soon as it went through. 2hrs later and a cup of hot cocoa I was finally relieved and it was through the stoma. By then I was falling asleep in my chair I was so tired. There was no way I was gonna puke up expensinve Rx's, so I sat there and suffered. I already know which pill got stuck, the bigger one, all my others are tiny pills so no worries with them. But it seems this one is time release so I can't cut it up and it doesn't come in a smaller pill or a liquid. What are these pharmaceutical companies thinking anyway? SO I guess I am adding sf hot cocoa to my nightly regime so they will be sure to gow down easily every time, also taking them earlier in the evening :)

I had to share this. Yesterday at my son's dr. visit he weighed in at 76lbs and I have lost 71 I have basically lost a 10yr old child! Wow that was major visual. Then today As I got in the car I realised that at the rate I am going I will be in the 70's very soon! The thought of being in the 270's again has me thrilled.

Also I have a brand new spring jacket that my DH bought for me 3yrs ago but I couldn't wear it he didn't know, bless his heart, but I can sure wear it now :)

Thanks LapBandit :welldoneclap:

I keep editing my last update, lol, since no one else seems to be as scale obsessed as I am, hehe. But if I have to weigh everyday it encourages me not to get off program cause I don't like to see the scale move in the wrong direction. It's a windbreaker jacket so not so great for pics but I am happy all the same, that and I am still a bit camera shy. I think I will be for a while still. But none the less I am nearing the 70's at breakneck speed, I can hardly wait. I feel like I am catching up to where I wanted to be at my 1yr mark. I'm not gonna hit my original goal of 100lbs in year 1 but I am gonna be fairly close and considering how my year has gone that makes me pretty excited.

Julie that is so awesome!!!!!!!! I hope one day to be able to take a picture like that too.

Tomorrow is my weigh in day. I really really want to drop below 250. I have spent most of my 20's closer to 300 than 200.

Ohh Molly I hope so. It is so hard to not just want the pounds to melt off. I think no matter how quickly I lose it just won't be fast enough

      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...

      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

      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... :(
