Wow brilliant! U luk awesome! I'm post surgery 9 months and lost in total 3 stones. However havin three children I have a lot of saggy skin on my belly. Any advice how to rid of that?

Ugh...no. I wish!!! I am hoping for a Tummy Tuck soon now that I've reached goal! I have tried core strengthening, planking and such helps some, but for me it's a lot of just....well....extra skin and no amount of toning is helping that.

Well, I actually can tell you that! I went back to my blog to see the date I started running and then checked my weight logs since I've weighed myself every single day (lol). I lost 75.2 before starting to run (at 4 months post op) then another 61.2 after starting to run util today for a total of 136.4.

From your signature I can see that you've done a great job so far.... You are headed in the right direction :-). I would recommend (if you haven't already) starting with a couch to 5k app. I literally did not run at all, ever, in my life and within 5 months was able to start training for marathon running. It's not for everyone and the important thing is to find SOMETHING you enjoy whether it's running or something else. It gives me something to focus on other than the scale and as someone with a proclivity towards eating-disordered thinking, focusing on non-scale goals is HUGE. And keep in mind, I don't always love running while I'm doing it.....lol.. There are some days my legs still feel like bricks for sure. And pretty much everyone hates the first 2 miles.... haha

Thank you so much for the great feedback! I actually am signed up for a 5k for this Saturday. I have been walking my dog every night and been walking a block and then running a block. Small steps at this point. It is a start. Your journey has been inspirational!

That is AWESOME! Good luck! My first 5k is still my most favorite running memory to date. It was so emotional to realize what I could now do. You'll do great, I'm sure!

      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.

        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
