Recommended Posts

thanks all, i really could not believe it when i seen those numbers. i really hope to keep up with these losses. And cathy im sorry your doc was discouraging to you. I sometimes dont think that they actually think before they say things. mine today constantly reminded me that i have "Alot farther to go and its up to you" i was thinking yes I know but are you at least glad for what I had done. Just keep pluggin along is what i am gonna do.

Wow Jenn you're doing incredible. 2 weeks post op I lost 15lbs and it took me a week to lose the 10 I gained in the hospital with all the fluids. Doc said the expectation is 5 to 15% so I was on the low side with 6%. I was thrilled as I basically had lost a pound a day but doc was so negative I ended up leaving the appointment so discouraged but not going to let it sabotage my success. You're an inspiration!

your doc is an idiot. doesn't he know that every person is different? i lost tons of weight at the beginning and now at around one year out i've been in a 3 month stall but my doc is very encouraging she says as long as i stick to the program it will come off eventually. besides the scale isnt everything - i dropped 1 dress size even though i havent lost a pound in these 3 months and i can walk and move a lot easier - and 1 pound a day is alot of weight to lose youre doing great!

Get to go back to work tomorrow. Kind of nervous about making sure I get my Water and Protein in. I used to only eat at lunch and have a drink at that time and not again till I got home after 12 hrs. Hoping things go well. I'm going to weigh tomorrow also. So here's hoping for a loss.

      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
