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.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
