Surgery Date - 10/2/12

How are you feeling? Have you lost any weight?

Today is my surgeriversary 10/3/12 I am 1 year out. It went by fast. I have lost 92 lbs was 225 now 133. I'm amazed! I have 8 more lbs I would like to lose but if I stay at this weight I will be okay.

Congrats

Today is my 1yr surgiversary! I have lost 129lbs since surgery and have lost 145 lbs from my highst weight which was August 2012. Doc was very pleased and so am I.

Hey October buddies!! This is our Surgaverisary month!! I am down about 100 pounds since surgery. Started out at 285-287 and now flucuate between 185-187. I have not lost any weight, not even an ounce since I was 7 months post op which was disappointing as I thought we would lose at least till we were 12 months to 18 months post op. I am not sure if it has anything to do with my hysterectomy I had in May or not. So its been 4 months without losing not even an ounce. I have about 30-40 more to lose to reach goal so hopefully it will pick up again soon.

Hey Kiserassy,

How many calories are you eating? Do you exercise? You may need to switch up your routine.

I second clairpooh. I have found that when I change my exercise and/or food intake, I have a drop. I've honestly noticed that if I increase my calories every once in awhile, it helps. I assume it brings my body out of starvation mode.

I read this and wanted to post it for my October surgery buddies' date=' and for everyone else. It really hit home for me!

"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.” ~B. Moawad[/quote']

I love this quote!

Sorry it takes me so long to answer, I do not have this app on my phone anymore so only see it once in awhile on the computer. I am getting about 1000-1200 calories some days less. I havent been exercising as I am so busy with school, all I can do is study. Also with surgeries almost back to back with 6-8 weeks healing in between its been rough. Tomorrow makes a year since I had my gastric bypass. then had 6 weeks to heal then December 29th had gallbladder surgery that was another 6-8 weeks to heal, then May 2nd had a complete hysterectomy which was 8 weeks to heal. So 6 months of my 1 year has been healing from surgeries. I have noticed lately that I get terrible pains in my pouch and I am having lots and lots of acid as my stomach growls constantly. I am wondering if I am or if I have an ulcer. I looked over my papers from my last visit with my surgeon August 8th and I weighed 181. Today I weigh 187. So I have gained weight. Thinking maybe I have a fistula, I go back to surgeon November 12th so will ask then about everything.

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing..... We are coming up on 1 year and 3 months since surgery and wanted to know how everyone is adjusting to their new lifestyle. As for me, I love myself more and more each day. I love working out (not at the gym)... I love going for runs in my community so winter is a real bummer right now. I have reached my goal, and will start working with my NUT of the next step. I will keep going (losing) until my next appointment with her which is in Jan. Have anyone stabilized with their weight lose so far? What are you doing to maintain?

Thanks!

I have stabilized now I think, been at this weight 130 for 3 months. I think I may be still losing inches because my clothes are getting loose. I feel great still watching my carbs. I'm down to size 6 and a lot of times 4. Merry Christmas!

Looked back at old pictures. Don't even recognize myself.
