Its My Turn....the New Me! Pics!



Recommended Posts

I started this journey a couple months ago. Hit a speed bump when my first mammogram showed a grape size mass. Had a biopsy its benign thank the good Lord. My mom died from it and my grandpa had it too. I need this weight off for my health and my families too. Had my surgical consult. My psych eval is scheduled as is my swallow study and fitness and nutritionist. I am blessed to have UHC on a low deductible and they cover it all at 80/20 with oop max at 1750$. Waiting is the tough part, all visits will be done by next week as will the closing of the short sale on my home. Damn what a year it has been and 2013 will start me off as a new woman! Comments support are welcome as I take this scarry road. Luckily I have a loving husband and beautiful 4 year old daughter.Congrats to us all on this journey"

Hi newbie I am hoping to be sleeved in November! I just a barium swallow done today! It truly was the most disgusting thing I have ever drank! I did awesome they said too! They have never had someone drink both cups so fast and keep it down. Once again my determination is boiling over. I had this done because I had an endoscopy done last year due to polyps in my stomach causing me severe pain. I really cannot to meet my bariatric coordinator on Monday and accomplish the psych eval and fitness visit next Thursday. Then all that's left is my nutritionist and we submit to insurancr for the pre certification! Smooth sailing is ahead and I am pumped! Thanks to all watching this thread and caring. Support is keeping me motivated as well as a brighter future free from the restraint of this weight! I can conquer the world without it! You will all bear witness! BTW my name is Tiffany!

      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?

      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... :(
