New Year, new us



Recommended Posts

This is the first New Years I can remember where I don't feel like I failed myself the year before. It's so nice starting a fresh year feeling good about what I've accomplished and where I am. In 2014 I get to continue tweaking what is working for me and make it all even better. To those of you beginning your journey, know that sometimes it will suck and be a royal pain in the butt, but in the end will be worth it 10000x's over. To those of you further out, keep rocking it! It's never too late to take control four lives, even with a bad day, or week, we can always get up tomorrow and start fresh.

Yes it's nice not starting a year with a resolution to "finally" start losing some weight. I feel a sense of hope going into the new year that I never used to have. Like actual hope that every year can be better than the year before....rather than worse.

Hope is an amazing thing to have....I hate that we ever lost it!

For once my New Year's resolutions don't just consist of weight loss related items. Nice to know I am already on the right track with that and can focus on other areas I would like to improve.

      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... :(
