I have lost 55 pounds/So EXCITED



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone :)

I am so EXCITED because I have lost a total of 55 pounds so far. It is a milestone in my life because I have hit my first goal, to get down to 300 lbs. I have 155 lbs to go to reach my ultimate goal.

I am 27 years old and my starting weight was 355 pounds in March. My WLS was on April 11, 2011 and since then the weight has been coming off. I am hoping that I can lose another 20 to 30 pounds before Christmas. I decided to get Lapband with plication because I told my doctor that I was not interested in the bypass surgery, but I needed to lose 200 lbs. He told me that my best option was to get this procedure that is somewhat experimental because they haven't been doing it as long as other surgeries. I was apprehensive at first, but I came around and I am glad that I did.

I have been a member of Lapband talk since March, but this is my first time on Sleeve plication Talk. I am just glad that there are more like me out there.

Thanks

That's awesome! Do you mind me asking how much you lost in the presurgery diet?

Dont mind at all. I was down to 344 on the day of surgery.

      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?
