Not Sure What To Call It...but I Am In The 300's!



Recommended Posts

How exciting it must be to know that it is working!! I have the same fear that I will be in the 20% who don't lose or gain it back. I have another dilemma too... I had to post pone my surgery from July 6th to July19th. I guess the doctor wanted the holiday off and I had to schedule it around work things. Anyway, I am stressing because I have to fly to a conference in TX for work at the end of September. I am at 352 right now and fear that I won't be able to sit on an airplane. It has been a while since I flew. Is it realistic to think I could get down 60 pounds by then. I remember flying at around 290 and I could do it. I don't dare fly at this weight. Any thoughts. I don't want to be unrealistic but I also don't want to tell my boss I am too fat to fly.

I flew at 441lbs or more...so you can too...and if you are committed to shedding the weight and your body agrees then it may be possible to shed 60 lbs before you fly. Drink a ton of water...even though it is super hard to do at first...and eat lots of protein...and it will happen. My body likes to rebel so I am a super slow loser unless I drown myself in Water and don't give my body an option but to release the fat.

Thanks for the encouragement. I booked my flight. A coworker is 8 years out from the RnY and a size 6 . I booked to fly with her and she offered to take the middle seat. I am so thankful to her and relieved about flying now.

You are so inspiring, Brandymarie! I have about 280 pounds to lose and I'm terrified I'll be in that percent that don't see results. But reading your posts and other's posts is giving me hope! My surgery isn't until 8/23. Congrats and I wish you continued success!

I was so scared I wouldn't lose anything either! But amazingly enough I am and I still pretty much eat what I want. I eat NO where near what I used to which is the best part! I actually crave the Protein more than anything. If I can do this, you can do this!

      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.
