199.00

Can I get a whoop whoop!!!!

Hell yeah!!!!

I am in ONEDERLAND BABY!!!!

I will NEVER have a 2 or God forbid a 3 as my first number in my weight....ever again!!!!

I am 19 pounds from my original goal and 29 pounds from my new, adjust goal. I am NO LONGER CLASSIFIED AS OBESE!!!

I started as MORBIDLY OBESE!

Now I am classified overweight...but at almost 5'10'' and wearing 11/12 jeans - I LOOK GOOD!

at 179 I will be in a normal weight range for my height....at 170 I will be amazing!

I can't believe -

THANK YOU to all those on here that have been my sounding board, my mentors, my family!

Good luck to those waiting in the wings...you will love it!

Best thing EVER!!!!

Uh - I lost a LOT of hair! I dreaded taking showers because of the massive amount of hair that would come out! I had to clean my brush every time I brushed my hair!!! I was fortunate in that I had a LOT of hair to start with. I went and had some long layers cut in, and at the 6 month mark...I have all sorts of baby hair growing in! Lots of little baby hairs sticking straight out of my skull! I just suffered through it knowing it would turn around - and it did!

Did you take Biotin or any other supplement to avoid the Hair loss and it happened anyway?

      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.

      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! 😞
