64lbs Lost! 3 Months Post Op



Recommended Posts

Hey everybody! I've been so busy I haven't had a chance to post with being back in school working on my Ph.D and taking care of my mom who was recently diagnosed with cancer. But all in all God is good and she's going to pull through this...

I have been steady in the gym even when I don't eat that good, but I stay true and faithful to my Fitness Pal. I have so many successes . Here they are:

I have gone from a size 26 to a size 16. I actually bought a 14/16 jacket ! I almost fainted when I looked in the mirror. A pair of size 18 skinny jeans are just falling down now. I bought them just last week.

To some it may be small, but I was able to lay on the floor with my honey and he wrapped his arms alllllll the way around me and I was so comfortable . He's 6'4 and like 225 and I felt so small. It was a cute feeling. He still can't believe I am so dedicated. One of the most supportive things is that my honey comes to the gym with me after he gets off work at 5 am. I think that is so super sweet. He would just come in his uniform and even work out with me sometime.

I work out 5 days a week at 5 am for 45 - 60 mins . I do strength training and ab workout too ! But more than the weight loss, my energy level is thru the roof. I feel so good abt myself and confident again. I feel sexy, cool, vibrant and all that other good stuff. When I look at pics now I still can't believe it. Although I have a way to go, I have come a long way as well.

I'm in the process of planning my wedding in June 2014 and I want to wow everybody! I mean I want especially my Husband's mouth to drop. I want them to tie that corset until I can't breath, well enough to walk down the aisle at least. Lol But even more than that I want my mom to be in good health to see me. She's always been supportive in my weight loss and just wanted me happy. She loved on me at my biggest and told me how beautiful I was .

I thank God for the support on here and have made some great friends. The journey continues! Stay motivated and if you mess up just get back at it. Don't beat yourself up.. Consistency wins all the time !

Sorry so long ...

Wow is right -- congratulations! And so happy about your Mom, too. Way to go on all the exercise. I'm pretty sure that is the key to success. Your body must be so happy to be on track again. I'm so looking forward to being banded in a couple of weeks. This is very inspirational -- and I'm just off the treadmill. Best wishes!

It's all about sticking to the program and embracing the new lifestyle. You can't "hope" for these results, you have to go out and get them. GREAT job!

I can see the joy you are sharing through your words.

The band journey certainly is easier when you have support from your loved ones. Often times those that are close to do not want us to succeed.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
