Where's My Miracle?



Recommended Posts

I am definitely what you would call a "slow loser", 11 months out and only lost 79lbs. I've been exactly where most of you are. Sad and upset that the scale isn't moving fast enough like it does for everyone else. But maybe this will put things into perspective before and after pics of me. This is what ONLY 79lbs. in 11 months look like and you know what I'll take losing that then gaining that any day! =) I'm very happy with my sleeve! We always want more which is what got us in this mess in the first place. Give it time.

Hmmm at 5 weeks out I was 23 lbs down - after gaining 20 in the hospital from fluids and post-op shenanigans.

I am not the fastest loser by any means but look at the stats in my ticker now - it adds up. Edit: I am coming up on 6 months post -op.

There is no way in the world I would ever have been able to lose this much this fast without the sleeve - and know that it is staying off.

Look at the trend over time - that is where the rubber meets the road.

      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... :(
