what I've learned being 11 months post-op



Recommended Posts

my eyes are way bigger than my stomach (still)......

Guilt is not what I should feel if I eat a cupcake. ...

123lbs lost is actually great......

If I dont lose any weight 1 week its OK...

Feeling mad sometimes because I still cant eat salads or slaw is OK....

Being able to buy clothes anywhere is nice....

I can walk past Lane Bryant and I do NOT have to shop there!!!!!

The scale is NOT making me its b*tch I made it my b*tch!!!! :)

I enjoy compliments. ....

Being cold ALL of the time sucks!

Whenever I see french fries I smell grease which is a good thing right?

I still want to lose more weight but if I don't its starting to be OK....

Weight day of surgery: 350

Weight today: 224

Surgery date: 6/29/12

Height: 5'9 1/2

      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! 😞
