I don't mind being #2. :-P

Surgery 12/27/2012

Down 95lbs (+ or - a pound depending on the day)

30 more lbs to go to goal. My energy is finally ramping up. The closer I get to goal, the more I want to exercise and eat right.

Current weight/size: 151/ size 8 pants/size 10 top

Starting weight/size: 308/size 26W-28W/3x range

Highest lifetime weight size: 332 32W pants

Total lost from highest weight: 181 - size of a good sized man...OMG

Victory i claim from sleeving: 157 - size of a slightly smaller man... OMG

No wonder I have skin for two people... off to plastics in a week to get that body work done.

But, the biggest victory of all is that my life is evolving and changing in ways i never imagined. I have more friends, i am changing inside in alot of ways. I am healthy, I feel attractive and vibrant. I have become a very confident horseback rider since I am so much stronger. I can hike up mountains - I am so much fitter. And, I seem to be able to maintain, so far so good anyway!!!

I started my journey at 279 lbs. on 12/05/2012, I am 5'6 3/4" tall, I was a size 22/24 depending on the clothes, I wore a 3XL shirt and sometimes they were to small. I am currently 173 in a size 11/12 pants and a med to lg blouse. I still have about 20 lbs to goal weight, but I do believe that this is mostly excess skin. Looking to have TT and breast lift soon. I need a full body lift but can't afford to do it all at once.

I heard many stories of inexpensive surgeries abroad, I am currently looking into all of them. I had my sleeve in Tijuana with Dr.Almanza and I was pleased with his work. I wouldn't change a thing except doing it sooner!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
