Recommended Posts

Running two miles in the amount of time it took me to run 1.5 in July :D I am 5 weeks out as of today and 40 lbs down.

Im training for my first half marathon which is set for Sept 11th of this year! My 1 year post op is September 30th!

Who woulda thought that in ONE year I went from "the fat girl who couldn't run" to "100 pounds down going 13.1"

I am so excited for the challenge. I could barely walk a 27 minute mile before, now I can run almost 5 miles without having to stop. My fastest mile is 7:30 now :)

How was your half?

I'm only 9 days post op but my bed has stopped creaking every time I move! It seems silly but it is a NSV for me because I share my bedroom with my 10 month old daughter, and it used to be that every time I rolled over she cried, and if I had to get out of bed, it woke her up. We are both sleeping so much better!

I finally built up enough endurance to do a 5k! This was a huge goal for me considering a year ago it was difficult to even try a mile.

Most recent NSV....being able to take a picture one time and not nitpick everything about it. Also having candid pictures taken of you at an event and not chasing down the person with the camera to delete the photos

This may be silly, but I am loving being able to scratch my entire back! OMG-and yoga? I am so addicted to yoga now! Never in a million years would I have guessed I'd become a yoga person!

My surgery date is Dec1 2016 looking forward to all the things you all are doing. Hoping to get enough weight off to avoid another knee replacement although I have no cartilage in the knee I may not be able to avoid it. looking forward to not needing a seat belt extender on the plane when I travel. Great triumphs all!!!

If the cartilage is gone, you will still need a replacement; however, you may find that you can put it off a lot longer. That's the case for me. I'm down about 175lbs and while my knees are still shot, and I have limited mobility in them, the pain is GREATLY reduced. I no longer have any plans to get them replaced in the near future.

Funny thing is, it didn't help my hip at all. So that sucker is getting replaced in January. Looking forward to a lower risk of complications and a faster recovery thanks to the loss of all that excess weight!

My grand-daughter can put her arms around me, someone asked my son if I was his girlfriend, I have a really bad back but I sit with my legs crossed anyway!! I sometimes sit with one leg under me, I don't think everyone is staring at me when I eat! I can cut my toenails and paint them!! People don't recognize me until I speak!

As winter is just about to begin where I live, I got out my winter clothes from storage,and a tight jacket is now a coat...not even exaggerating cant wait to wear it, also so many things that haven't fitted for a couple of years are now a perfect fit! I have a new wardrobe without even shopping :)

      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
