Surgery april 8...excited!



Recommended Posts

Aghhh! Stupid stalls! I'm stuck again only an extra 0.5kg lost :( Frustrating. Trying not to revert back to bad habits.

Hey there Kaz, I was actually thinking bout you today and wondering how you were doing. Ahhh mazing by the way!- .5 is still .5 take that and add it to the rest it will all add up in due course.

I've learnt early on to remember not every time i overate or ate wrong foods did I see immediate weight gain but sometimes I did and sometimes it came on slowly but eventually it did of course - therefore on the flip side, I expect I should see some immediate losses, some slow ones and some stalls.... Just coming out of a stall and slow loss these last three weeks.

Keep going strong - and remember all the good advice and support you give to everyone else :-)

Thanks, I needed that. Yes, slipped off the bandwagon into a chocolate lake again. Not the answer! Have to keep reminding myself of the money and pain I've put myself through for this; I'm determined again! X
Hi Kazyy! I think we are both walking the same path but we will not be defeated! I know stalls are frustrating but we have to push forward. One of my tools is to only weigh myself once a month or I just wait until I go to the doctor. I took someone else's strategy about getting more Protein in. I also let my clothes tell me if I am losing. I bought a dress on 4/25 that was too small for me (it was bulging on all sides, lol). Yesterday was my second time wearing it and it is now too big. I didn't realize how big it was until I saw myself in a photo my friend took. So although the numbers on the scale aren't necessarily going down, my body is obviously getting smaller. So.....take it slow, keep eating healthy, exercising and getting in your Water and Protein and you will do just fine.

Thanks Miss B! I put a dress on today and was tripping over it with less boobs and bum to keep it up lol. You're right, I'm clearing out clothes already. Lost a couple of pounds, probably just the stress of doing school reports haha. Thanks for the encouragement! We will succeed!

My surgery was also April 8th and since then I have stalled twice. Both times I have tried to change what I eat to make sure I'm getting enough Protein and or Water and that got the scale moving the first time but not the second so then I tried something different I tried eating a lot of very small meals throughout the day to keep my metabolism going all day and since then the scale has been moving without a problem. Let's hope it stays that way. Good luck to everyone!!

Hi Daisy. I'm glad to hear the scale started moving again. I know it's frustration when we hit a stall but as you see it's the little things that make things change. I am now down 37 lbs since surgery and have 50 lbs to go to hit goal. I am enjoying my journey. I wish you the best of luck on your journey.

Got the school camp in a few weeks, hope my energy keeps up for the kids lol, probably drop weight then too as we won't be stopping much! I'm thinking of it like boot camp for me!

Well hello there. Way to go! It seems that you are doing quite well, especially since you aren't exercising. Don't you worry, you will be in Onederland in no time. Keep up the good work.

I am currently down 58 pounds in total. I'm trying to get down to 125 so I still have about 35 pounds more to lose.

Well done!! I can only dream of getting that low! I'm hoping to get to about 150lbs or 68-70kgs and be a size 12. Keep going, you are giving me motivation! :)

      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!!

      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! 😞
