It's the Little Things that help!



Recommended Posts

I'm 12 weeks post. I've been struggling with the thought that my weight loss will stop and i'll never get to the weight i want. But every once in awhile i notice something, like your pants legs getting a bit loser, not popping any buttons on my shirt. Well i had to share my eye opening experience this morning that made me feel so wonderful about my new journey. It's funny, but i was taking a shower letting the hot Water hit my back, i felt like something was out of place and i just couldnt figure it out. So i stood there staring at the wall and realized that my elbows were touching my side. I can't remember when the last time i was able to do that. I finally lost enough weight from my arms that they can lay flat against my body. Like i said it's the Little Things that help me thru this.

My epiphany moment was last week when i was walking at work and my pant legs were rubbing at my ankles.. I dont think they hve been that close in about 24 years.

Man, I love this non-scale arms touching sides victory.

Such a cool discovery.

Thank you everyone, I can't wait to get weighed on the 20th. I haven't gotten on the scale in over a month. :)

      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! 😞
