Hi!

I just had to share this with you all,, especially anyone else out there that may be starting this journey on the very high end. Please see me stats below.. I started my WLS journey at a very high weight. Reality is most individuals on this forum are just starting their journey at my current weight or less! If you are on the high end of the scale, do not be discouraged!!!

I had a personal goal of wanting to lose 100 lbs by my 9 month start date (Pats) -- and Sunday was weigh in… I DID IT!!!!

103 lbs lost in 9 months.

Gosh what a great feeling, I cannot put into words how much this meant to me.

It was hard, anyone who thinks having the surgery just makes the weight fall right off of you is a fool…it takes much effort and it takes incredible determination.

It all is so extremely rewarding!!!

I know I still have such a long way to go, but for today.... I am very Happy!

Next goal: “Onederland” --- Oh it feels good to just type the word! LOL!!!

That is fantastic. How did you do it? What type of exercise are you doing? I am just stuck at 6 months at a 45lb loss..I started at 240 and I am currently at 179. The doc at my 6 months check up was a bit disappointing..

Encouraging, I started preop at 370lbs. So far w/ surgery on Aug 23, I am down 54lbs. I hope I get to 100lbs by 9 months.

Hi!

I count my calories, carbs & of course protein! I try keeping the calories between 800-1000, carbs under 45 and my protien needs to be around the 70 g mark.. but again, I am a larger than normal person...

I walk, outside if possible if not I am on treadmill... I do 3 miles approx 5 days a week.

I really had a tough time in July & August.....looking back now, I really feel I was not pushing the Water as much. It also was a very socially active copule of months and enjoyed a few cocktails which impacted my weight loss. I am back on track now and so badly want to hit "onederland" by Christmas! I cant think of a better Christmas present!!

      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?
