Finally broke the 380's



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I'm Jaylin (32 yoa) from Texas and I'm new to the forum. I had surgery on 12/22/12 with my original weight being 445 and nearly three months (tomorrow) in I am down 66 pnds. I just recently broke the 380 mark I'd been stuck at (fluxing from 381 - 384) for two weeks. I was sick the week before spring break and out of town the week of which set my gym time back quite a bit. I joined LA fitness once my major recovery was done and I typically work out (swimming and Water aerobics) 4-5 days a week with a lot of walking on the weekends. It's a great excuse to head to the mall! Since surgery I'm no longer a type two diabetic and have had normal (though often low at times) bgls since two weeks post surgery. I think my biggest stumbling block is the ability to get enough Protein even drinking my protein juice, because meat and most of the time cheese (other than queso which i know is not a healthy choice) just won't go down or stay there anyhow. I try Beans and love yogurt but I have definate food texture issues that aren't helping. Just wanting to post and say hi and get a feel for the group. Hope you are enjoing your journeys!

Welcome! and I would like to say I am proud of your success!! keep going!! The road ahead may be tuff, but the outcome is fantastic! I never thought I could feel so good, be so active and love life (and the gym) as much as I do. I have about 12 lbs to be half way to my goal and I am excited to stay the course and keep going DOWN.

Best of luck to you! The time flies and soon you'll be shopping and suddenly see what a difference you have made!

Again I am so happy for you and your success so far!!

      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! 😞
