100 lbs lost in 6 months with pics



Recommended Posts

I started my journey on June 18' date=' 2012 at 334.9 lbs, I was a very sad and sick woman who was not living, just existing. Well fast forward 6 months and I weigh 233 lbs (101 lbs), everything about my life has changed! I am loving my new life, enjoying my new body (so is my husband, he's like a kid on Christmas morning - every day!) and I love it! Thank you to Dr. King in Oxford, Mississippi, your my hero! The pictures below speak for themselves, the first two are before and are the most I ever weighed, the first one is the saddest I was ever in my life! The last two are last week (Dec 11) and I still can't believe it's me!

Feb 2012, 345 lbs

May 2012, 334.9 lbs (surgery day weight)

Dec 11, 2012, 234 lbs

Dec 11, 2012, 234 lbs[/quote']

I'm just starting this journey .... You look great!

Hi

I am trying to get my appmt set up with Angie at Dr. Kings office. My internist has recommended the VGS with Dr. King. I have type II diabetes and high BP. I spoke to my insurance company and my Active Health rep says she things it can be done more quickly than I thought because I tried other things with my physician. I am praying for a January consult and to get this show on the road but have read some scary thoughts after reading some of these message boards.

At any rate I have questions. I am looking for support too. Thanks.

Gaye, your post gets me so much hope as I'm starting about where you are. Have about 15 more pounds to lose before I can have surgery. I don't know how old you are, but I just turned 45 this yeas and I don't want to waste anymore time living life like this...I want more! But, it is pretty scary.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
