-75 Lbs, Goodbye Obese - Hello Overweight!



Recommended Posts

BMI as of yesterday = 29.9! It's been a whirlwind 6 months since I started the pre-op diet. I am down 75 lbs. Went from a size 22/24 jeans to size 12. I wouldn't characterize my story as a success yet because I've come to realize that the biggest challenges still lie ahead, but I've made a lot of progress. As per gamergirl's request, I have uploaded pics. :D

before

^ Me before pre-op diet. Highest weight 260.

Nearly 6 months post-op - 75 lbs down

^ Yesterday. 75 lb loss. Current weight 185.

Everyone have a great weekend!

Thanks Laura! I have to say in the last 6 months the most important lesson I learned was to plan every meal and plan every workout. I don't have much control when I do things on the fly <_< .

      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! 😞
