8 months out and I can't believe what's happening



Recommended Posts

I'm 8 months post op, and I'm wearing a size 2!

I never thought I would be wearing a 2. Folding laundry is surreal--surely these tiny pants won't fit...but then they do. Everything fits, it's so easy (too easy) to find clothes. Feeling good!

I am so excited to read this post, my stats are very similar to yours 'nothing up my sleeve'. My surgery is on the 8 of September and I am so ready to finally stop this roller coaster I have been on. I can not believe that I will lose that sort of weight...

Wow a 2 crazy!! I am thrilled with my 6's! I asked my husband yesterday to toss me my jeans so I could change and he said "these ones?" He thought they belonged to my preteen kid!

I can fit so many more clothes in my carry on luggage!

The first little but is tough, but then you get used to a new way of eating and BAM the sizes drop. I was in a 14 for eons, then a 12 for a long time, but after that the sizes drop fast. I think I skipped 8's mostly.

I did this for my health, but the clothing is sure a good motivator to stay focused!

You can do it!

I think the same thing when I'm folding my size 4 skinny Rock Revivals, (goal present). They still look to me like they should belong to a little girl! Never in a million years would I have thought I'd be in this size! And I could conceivably go a little smaller. BMI is 23.2, so I'm still in the top half of healthy. We'll see where I land as I figure out maintenance.

I can only dream of a size 2! I'm happy with my 8's (might be a little happier with 6's but 8's are cool too).

I feel the same. These jeans can't possibly fit. But they do. With room to spare. I used to have red marks across my tummy from my too-tight 22's. Now there's no marks anywhere!

Yeah for us! Congrats!

      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! 😞
