350Lbs To 238Lbs In 10 Months So Far... Wow



Recommended Posts

THis whole weight loss thing still hast hit me even though I'm down over 110lbs since my surgery last year!!! I went to Walmart the other day and I tried on a pair of 36" jeans and they for perfect.... I remember trying to squeeze into 48-50's just last year and it seems so surreal!!!

People treat me so differently now an there isn't a day that doesn't go by that girls are complimenting me on how good I look... No better feeling

Ohh and my new passion for fitness and helping people is driving me to becoming a personal trainer... My specialty niche will be working with obese and pre and post operative weight loss surgery people....

Living and loving life all due to my sleeve and hard work as well... : )

Before @ 350lbs

Way to go! It is funny how it takes a while for our brains to catch up to our bodies, isn't it? I remember going through boxes of clothes I'd saved on my way up the scale from a 4/6 to a 22/24. Staring at jeans thinking, "I will NEVER fit in these again!" - yet every month I visit my little treasure box and start pulling out the next size. I still look at them and think, "nope" then start sliding them on and holy cow I can zip and button!

Good luck with your goals, I think the best healers are those who were once ill themselves....

Yes I slip up all the time but do my best to do the right things but if I want to go out to eat for a special outing I won't hold back and say I can't.... Don't use that word anymore and just keep co conscious of what I eat and make sure I bust my tail at the gym.....

So do you think it is possible to ruin your sleeve, like it will not do its job anymore? (Ex. If you've been making not so good food choices (candy mainly and not in moderation) or is that just silly talk?)

You can definately ruin your sleeve.... Although you will never be able to eat the amounts you used to I know that anybody can easily eat 3,4,5,000 calories a day if they ate crap like ice cream (slider foods) and all that!!! If you are conscious of what you put in your mouth you will never lose to much track and will be able to have those days where you can relax a little... Working out is a must.... We don't want to be skinny fat people... Tone up an slim down at the same time so the process is smooth sailing and look half way decent when we get down to goal weight....

But yes some of the stuff they say is silly talk but for the most part it is all great advice...

My secret if I'm gonna go off course a little is to eat a salad or veggies before my guilty pleasure and I get full and my calorie intake wasn't all that bad...

      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?
