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

[brandymarie81 108]

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.

How are you doing in the weight loss? Do you weigh everyday?

[brandymarie81 108]

I was weighing almost daily...but I haven't weighed since last week. I am determined to start weighing weekly...Sundays only.

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!
