Onederland at last! (And a few NSVs)



Recommended Posts

I have been on a terrible stall, flirting with onederland for weeks, losing and regaining the same two pounds a number of times. But today, I am 198.5!!!!!! I haven't been under 200 in probably 24 years. Can't wait to keep losing and shopping for normal sized clothes. It's so liberating! My tickers says I've lost 86 pounds, but I have actually been 111 pounds heavier at my highest weight. Or at least the highest that's been recorded.

NSVs:

Yesterday was my 35th wedding anniversary. We were at a family reunion for my husband's side of the family and there were relatives of his that I hadn't seen in a long time. One of my husband's uncles asked someone if I was Mike's new wife!!!! (His brother has a new wife, so he knew there was a new wife somewhere). Made my day as well as my husband's day!

Last week I was with a group of people I was going to be taking to a local restaurant/dancehall. One of the ladies asked if she needed to change clothes into something dressier. I told her I was going just like I was, and she said, "Yes, but you're all cute and sexy!"

Two weeks ago I was in line at the register at Walmart. An older fellow checking out at the register started a conversation with me. We chatted for a few minutes and then he stopped, looked at me and said, "Has anyone told you just how pretty you are?" I almost started jumping up and down and doing a happy dance, but I restrained myself and said, "Not in at least 20 years, but thank you so much!"

This morning I was dancing around the kitchen to a Michael Jackson song on the radio and I did a dance step that I haven't been able to do in a million years! Ha! Shocked the heck out of me that I could do this certain little twirl step again.

Really, I cannot wait to get to goal, but the journey itself has been rewarding (and sometimes disheartening). No regrets.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
