I know its not much....but



Recommended Posts

Just wanted to share my progress so far. 41 pounds gone. Exercising 5x a week.

The left photo was taken the first day of school this year in August 2013. I weighed 369.

The right photo was taken last week because I felt "skinny" for some reason at work. I am now 328.

My surgery was 10/2/13. I still have a lot of work to do, but:

1.) my clothes fit better

2.) I'm rediscovering old clothes I haven't worn in 4-5 years

3.) my shoes fit better!

4.) I'm not tired all the time

5.) people notice my weight loss now

Forty one pounds is awesome! Great job and keep up the good work. Give yourself credit and realize it takes time. I had surgery in October as well. I am so glad I did it and am experiencing some of the things you mentioned (clothes fitting better, feeling better, and people noticing) and it is an awesome feeling. Be proud of yourself!

Fantastic job!!! Don't discount the non-scale victories! Feeling better, moving better, clothes and shoes fitting better...those are just as remarkable as the numbers dropping on the scale! Keep it up, sister :)

So happy for you! I like #4 -- not feeling tired all the time. That feels like the key to everything, doesn't it? Having the energy to make good choices, to be active and happy in our lives. Yippee! Keep at it -- you are doing beautifully.

Believe me I am not discounting myself at all. I do feel so much BETTER!

I just meant that it's not as much as some other people that post pictures of themselves on here (like 100 pounds). Don't worry, I'm proud of my 41 pounds.

Just had a fill yesterday. At 6/10cc now. I'm hoping to me down to 50 pounds by Feb. 1st. :)

By the way! I found a GREAT free app last night. You document pictures of yourself and share them with others on their weight loss journey. It is great encouragement.

The app is called: Weilos

My username is: nicolemarie3726613

I definately recommend joining :)

      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! 😞
