6 Months Post Op....down 110 Pounds !



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow I turn 42. In April of this year, I weighed my highest ever .... 338. I decided to have the surgery and thought it was my absolute last chance at a "normal" life. I'm down to 228 this morning. 110 pounds gone - forever. Even though I'm down this much and my self esteem is alot higher, I still feel like the fat person I started out as. I still don't want my husband to see my naked. I knew I'd have loose skin but its still filled with fat. I have no idea where I want to be. I know I want to get to at least 170 , maybe 150. I'm 5,8. Med/large build. I hardly eat anything now and worry about stopping the weightloss if I do reach some sort of goal for myself. My surgery was June 25th. Has anyone else gone through this? I have noticed that I went from a men's 2x-3x sweats to a mens large today when I bought some. I should be ecstatic about this but something says don't get too excited just yet.

Why men's???Go check out the ladies sweats! Oh, and 100? Amazing.

The men's sweats have smaller legs. I should have gotten a Medium. The shirts are longer too.

Wearing them today. :) Oh and I get to change the ticker again this morning...another pound gone !

You should be so proud of what you have accomplished, I am! Now as far as having fat goes, it is great that you have more fat than loose skin, this is good as your body is adjusting well. Really check out the ladies section of casual pants, even Walmart has some great sport pants(danskin) and yes they have slimmer legs, all the rage these days! Take out some older clothes and try them on you will see how far you have come, woohoo great job keep going!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
