The transformation has begun



Recommended Posts

Ok, I've had 2 big "rolls" of fat - one above my waist (below breasts) and one below my waist. Today I just realized that the roll of fat above my waist is SMALLER! When I look down my front, I used to just see that roll of fat above my waist. Now, I can barely see it (past my breasts that is) and very obviously see the roll of fat below my waist.

Strange I know to be excited to see a roll of fat - but I am! I never thought I would see a difference in my body so quickly! Woo Hoo!!!!

That is great news. I asked my husband this morning if he could tell a difference, and he said yes....a roll on my back is gone. LOL Normally that would hurt my feelings that he noticed I have fat rolls on my back....but it made me happy. :lol:

I can tell a difference already in my clothes. The capris I'm wearing today are really lose. Maybe in another week or two I can buy something smaller. woo hoo.

well I can hardly let you two have all the fun. I bought a new belt that I could barely buckle before surgery knowing that I would fit into it just fine in a couple of weeks. yesterday I wore it on the third hole all day and wasn't in the least uncomfortable. I was ordering a pull over as a fundraiser for my kids high school football team and I ordered an XL not a XXXL. I actually tried one on and I got it on, it was tight but I got it on. That's enough for now...I don't want to highjack your thread too much.

Congrats to both of you fircrackers. Can't wait to hear about all of the changes to come.

Nancy I have had a similar experience. What is really interesting to me is that my stomach is usually not what shows weightloss first. I usually (according to my husband) show it in my rearview first. Yesterday he told me he could see it in my shoulder area and I have noticed my t-shirts hang differently now. I will take weightloss however I can get it but to see it in an area that is usually hard for me to lose is great. Thanks for starting the thread!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      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!!
