Well I had been feeling pretty discouraged lately. I have been watching what I have been eating and working out regularly at the gym (my new obsession);) . Anyway after doing all this the previous week I did not go down at all. I tried not to let it get to me and I just kept on doing what I was doing. Anyway this week I was down a couple pounds :clap2: and I decided to get the measuring tape out to see if maybe I was loosing there too. Turns out I was!

I have lost 5 inches around my hips and 5 inches around my waist. After doing the total measure and adding things up I have lost over 21 inches from my body, legs and arms. So happy to see this. Still have a ways to go but I feel better knowing that things are working. :P

Good for you! Sometimes we don't see the results of our hard labours until a week or two later. The lost inches are a fabulous indication of how well you are doing!

Congrats! That is a great feeling isn't it! I love being able to shop in the "normal" stores and finding things that look great. I've plateaued but I'm loving being "thiner".

Have a great week.

I have more, but these are sort of the most recent significant ones.

1. I had to take my wedding band in to be made smaller. It slipped off in the shower today and almost went down the drain.

2. As of today I am severly obese on the BMI scale (Yeh...I think) which is am improvement from the Almost super obese and the mobidly obese I was.

Andrew - you are an inspiration! Are you exercising yet?

Yes I have been exercising since 2 weeks post op. I credit it with much of my sucess.

I go at least 3 but more often 4-5 times a week and spend an intense 50 minutes on the eliptical (Level 8-9 Speed 9-10, HR ~150 BPM, ~850 calories burned per session)

I am going to start lifting weights again soon, but I dont know when I can find time. Working full-time, business on the side and a young family can eat away at my time pretty quickly.

Thanks for the compliments guys.

Andrew

DameJ - remember muscle (which you are building) weighs for than fat (which you are losing) You are looking good girl. Keep up the great work.

Gaffer - you rascal you are incredible. That hula is fall off for sure!

Argon - Don't think I didn't notice that ticker of yours go down cuz I did. You are an inspiration. I guess a little change in your diet got things moving (down) again.

I think that I might have lost some more weight but this is because I have been sick. My size medium pants are kinda baggy and I have to hoist them up periodically. I guess this is the up-side of being sick, eh.

I would speak to Maral about it - she is really nice and will give you the proper advice. She explained to me that it is about healing and not damaging your band or stomach by not making your stomach work too much.

      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?

      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
