Nancy's new adventure



Recommended Posts

On 12/12/12 I had a RNY surgery to lose 120 lbs. I have a small skin infection on Keflex for otherwise doing as expected. I go back to work on 1/13/13 and I hope I will be able to keep the secret. I went to surgery with only my husband and my nephew knowing,.. my kids and my mother dont even know. I am looking forward to some help and some tips from these forums.

Thank you

Nancy

Hi Nancy!! Welcome! I told very few people too. I was off a month as well and so far no one has said anything to me. I only lost about 23 pounds so nothing drastic which is good.

This is a great place. Never hesitate to ask a question or reach out for support.

Congrats Nancy on beginning your journey! Hope you are healing nicely. I was trying to keep this a secret at work. I had only told the teachers on my team... However, you know how that goes. Word had gotten out. I'm okay with that. Good luck with everything!

Hi Nancy. I haven't told anyone either. My surgery is Jan 10 and my work people know I'm having stomach surgery but no details. I work with a lot if mean spirited people and my boss would not be happy with me putting our department in a bind for an "elective" surgery. Good luck to you and God bless.

I am with you on the not telling many people. For the few people that know they are very supportive but the subject itself is hard to bring up with my extended family. Good luck with your journey and keep all of us updated on your results.

      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
