9 months - 106lbs down!



Recommended Posts

Next week it will be my 9 month follow up appointment and stoked to be 2lbs from first goal to be within a normal weight! SW 276lbs CW 170lbs. Size 14 to a Size 6.

I am very fortunate that everything has been super easy for me and have not had any stalls yet. The key for me is to keep calorie intake high as I am fairly active. I find I dont lose as much if I go below 800cal.

I currently am getting a few concerned comments about how I have lost too much or that I have an eating disorder which my surgeon warned me about. Its just funny that you can't win either way! Good luck to all those pre-oppers out there, truely best decision ive made :)

Strength train, strength train, strength train. Its worth the investment in a trainer a couple of times a week as it helps heaps with not only skin tightening but also building muscle which burns more calories. Its changed the whole shape of my body too. Other than that - just enjoy the ride and dont sweat over the small stuff like how much or how little you have lost (especially the first 3 months) as there is little you can do!

I'm 5"9 - my priority is working on body fat percentage and building muscle so that makes a difference when it comes to comes to clothing size.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
