Major Scale Victories!



Recommended Posts

Ok, I am so ridiculously happy right now! Tomorrow is my 6 month surgiversery. As of this morning, I have lost over 100 lb! Also this morning I am no longer obese, now just overweight! Last week I made it to onederland! I am now 196.6 lb and a size 14. I started at 297, a size 24. I lost 15lb preop. I still have about 36 lb to get to goal. I no longer have a doubt that I will get there. I have had a couple of short (1week or less) pauses in weight loss including our week long vacation in the Dominican Republic where I ate what I wanted including dessert at lunch and dinner (no gain). I have lapsed with the exercise and know if I start back I will loose faster, but motivation is just not there. Anyway, sorry for the long post but I am soooo happy with my VSG!!!!!

The first two pics are day of surgery and the next two are this morning.

Thank everyone! Evidently I can't update my ticker from my phone. So it will have to wait. My body is far from normal, but I hope it will be close someday. I definitely will need plastics. I feel so much better and even find myself chasing my kids around! My experience has even converted my husband who will probably be having the surgery done next year! Previously he was a " just eat like you have had surgery" guy. Obviously that did not work for him either. :)

That is fantastic! Great job! I hope I can come close to what you have accomplished. You look great.

Can you give us some insight as to what a typical day was like? What did you eat? Did you count calories or carbs? What type of exercising did you do?

With your wisdom maybe more of us can accomplish our own goals. Thanks.

      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
