WOO HOO!!! GOAL BABY!



Recommended Posts

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be where I am today!!!!

I had my surgery 5/9/11 and in 6 short months have reached GOAL!! WOW, just WOW. I also had my labs done and they are stellar. I lost 55lbs pre-op and 60lbs since surgery, for a total of 115lbs. I am in just amazement of this terrific gift GOD has blessed me with.

I have gone from a 22/24 to a 6 and had a BMI of 43 and now have a 25. Are you kidding me!!?? I wanted to be a 10 and have far surpassed my expectations. I am sooooo stoked. I have never been this small in my life and I feel on top of the world.

My diabetes is gone, my hbp is gone and I do not take any medication for either anymore! How terrific is that?!?!?!

I plan on doing a before and after photo collage this weekend. So, stay tuned!

Kelly,

Congrats on your speedy trip to goal! I posted the same message on your photo thread, but just want to make sure you see it. I hope you have a fabulous gift planned for yourself for getting to goal - besides the ton of cute new clothes and the improved health you are already enjoying.

Congrats! You worked really hard both pre- and post-op so it's not surprising you met goal so quickly. Great job!

I know what you mean about being smaller than ever before, too. I couldn't remember the last time I was a small anything and it's completely mind boggling to realize that even without reaching my goal weight yet (I'm almost there!) that I've far exceeded all other goals I had set for myself.

Enjoy this, lady! You look fantastic and will surely be an inspiration to people preparing for or considering surgery.

Wow, you look amazing!!!! What a transformation!

How long did it take you to lose the 55lbs pre-op and what plan did you follow? I really wish I could hit the rewind button and lose pre-op...sigh! Cest la vie...

Please keep us posted on maintenance and how it goes for you. To me maintenance still seems so far off and still so scary. I'm sure you will do GREAT with it!!!

      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?

      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
