Onward To 100 Lbs Lost...



Recommended Posts

Getting psyched up and ready give away more clothes, and recognize myself in the mirror a little bit less, lol.

I crossed the border to Onderland on April 24th, and I have denounced my citizenship in Fattsville. Now what???

If you go from January of 2011 to now, I have lost 83 lbs. I was sleeved 1/4/12 and most of the weight was after the surgery, but I cound January 2011 since it was the highest I had been in awhile, and I started my last "diet" at that time - even if I did not know I had started the big final ball rolling at the time.

Soooo now what? I think my next goal will be to see if I can get to the 100 lbs lost mark. That would be 17 lbs from now, but it seems a reasonable goal.

I have issues with my metabolism (I stall just thinking about a diet) so my weight loss has been a bit slow, but I have an enormous sense of calm after the surgery, because I know I can wait the stalls out now. I will win, not my appetite.

I don't know when I will hit it, but 17 lbs in 3-4 months will be great. If I could clear it by the time my Hubby returns from Israel (he will be traveling for work for awhile very soon) that would be interesting to see what he thinks 17 lbs more does to my appearance.

Wish me luck!

Congratulations! Other than that you're about 100 pounds less than me, we're kind of in the same place. I have lost 89 pounds and am getting really excited about the big 100 mark! I, too, have a very slow metabolism. I was sleeved in January and have lost (only) 44 pounds since the surgery. We should support each other and cheer each other on as we work toward our goal!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
