Nearly A Year And Fabulous!



Recommended Posts

This is a miracle! I've never felt better in my life. Even when I lost 110 (and gained it back) I don't remember feeling this good. No more metabolic syndrome, no more apnea, no pains in my feet or ankles, my knees are fine. Feeling deprived was my big thing in the past, cheated often, could hardly wait to eat again.

Not this time. No beers or sodas -- I miss the occaisional beer, but not that much. I rarely eat bread unless it's fabulous, famous, or absolutely unavoidable. No Pasta, not even the good-for-you kind. I love both bread and pasta, but I don't feel deprived. I think the reason is because it's my choice, not a program requirement. I'm the one who's in charge.

Here I am now, down 5 sizes and below what I thought was my goal and still drifting downward. Un believeable.

Sooo encouraging and inspiring!! I'm 5 weeks post op and have felt like I'm going to be the one who gets the surgery but doesn't lose the weight even though I haven't had a major stall yet!! I hope I'll be the one saying this a year from now!!

Thank you do much for the post!

Fantastic! Good for you! Glad you did it without feeling deprived, too. That can make the journey a whole lot easier.

Keep the positive lights shining.

I agree -- How encouraging! I'm happy for you! :wub: Thank you for sharing!

I am also 5 weeks post-op. I have been at 182 lbs for the past 3 weeks. Definitely losing inches though!

I hope I can say that I am at goal, or below goal a year from now, God willing!

      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... :(
