Fabulous February Post-Op's

[D2.0 14]

Hi everyone! Haven't posted in while. Lets see SD} 2/19/13 194. CW: 139. Went from a size 16 to 8-10. I feel great. No meds only Vitamins. I'm glad I got this 2nd chance at better health. I workout & pay attention to what goes in my mouth. I'm 47 now I can't mess this up.

Hey guys, I need help. I've been stalled at 171-174 for over a month now. No weight, no inches lost. The doc considers the surgery a success even tho I'm still just "this side" of the BMI split between normal and overweight. I'm down from a size 22 to a size 12-14. I could tighten up my eating but there's not a whole lot if wiggle room.

I know I could probably take the last 15 lbs off if I stared lifting weights, but just walking through the work-out clothing section of the store makes me nauseous. I've got some serious PTSD where it comes to fitness.

I WANT to start working out again because I know it would be easy. I've been running up two flights of stairs at a time, just because it's so easy and it gives me a thrill to be able to do so! So what do you suggest? How can I get over my phobia? Help!

Well I'm down 10 sizes! Finally in twoderland LOL....weight loss has slowed a bit, but not stopped. I think because I don't get enough Protein most days. I have issues with that.

Come to think of it, I'm down 10 sizes too! (22 to 12). My dietitian really helped when it came to the protein issue.

This roller coaster of a life we now live on has so many small victories and some things that should be considered them when they just make me sad lol. For example my clothes keep getting smaller, I buy some that fit and the next month I need the next size down. Am I complaining on losing the weight, heck no, but my husband and our bank account defiantly are. I realized my bras that I love and worship from Victoria Secret no longer are they working miracles they are performing a horrible disservice to me. They are a 38D and I loved that part of my body.....I realized I will be working and the girls needed better fitting support....check in at a 36C...I shed a tear. My first bra In middle school was a 38C. They are vanishing like the rain forests. Endangered. Plus side I do have my first real job out of the house since basically 2005 and it's kicking my ass. My back and feet hurt so much, but on top of all that there is the wrist pain from shattering my wrist last May. I am supposed to lose for another 10 months before I should be where I want to be and that scares the hell out of me since I a 8lbs from being there now and still can hardly eat to balance my diet. I never want to be waifer thin...it's just not me. More often than not I look in the mirror knowing I have lost 117lbs in 8 months and am proudly wearing my size 13/14 jeans and my medium/large tops but standing sideways I still feel like I look like I'm in my size 24s and 2-3x shirts. Happy happy days and other I'm just stares t myself like has an change really been made when I know deep down it has been huge.
