I was nervous about summer coming! But.....



Recommended Posts

With the amount of weight I have lost I do have some lose skin. But it is really only in my arms, my stomach does not look bad. At first I nervous about summer and going to the beach and then I started to think about it. I have lost 174lbs who cares if my skin is hanging! It shows that I worked my butt off to get where I am at! If someone doesnt like my arms they dont have to look and if they are looking I am just going to tell them...thats what it looks like to lose a whole person!!!

I am so happy with where I am at right now and I am glad I sat back and thought about it! I hope everyone else has the same way of thinking, we have came a long way and who cares if you have some sagging skin it just shows the dedication we have to get where we are at=)

Like I told my best friend.. I have lose skin and a small apron but I am not planning to be a swimsuit model anytime soon. I am healthier and happier than I have been for 20 years or more. I will be able to wear shorts and cute shirts and yes even a bathing suit but better yet I will be able to swim with my granddaughters and play games with them in the pool without running out of breath or energy. Have a great Summer everyone. ONward and Upward.

      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... :(
