Hello Wildgoose and group, i can relate to why you waited for the surgery. I waited years, because I thought having a gastric bypass was too aggressive. I thought I could do the good ol' fashion way, diet and exercise.. making lifestyle changes. Needless to say, it didn't work for me. So, I had my surgery in Oct 2014, and have no regrets!! I'm grateful for a successful surgery. My hugest weight was 321, and now I am 255. Im not tech savvy, so I dont know how to download some pics to share with the group. Yikes! I drank some wine last night. A half of a glass was a bit much for my pouch.

My struggle with this process is not drinking while eating. Does anyone else have this challenge??

yes that is one of my biggest issues because I have nutcracker esophagus and have a tendency to choke when I eat.

@auriP.. I completely understand what you're saying. I feel I'm not losing the way i want to. But, however for me, im not weighing things.. I do walk at least 5500 steps a day, im most comfortable with soft foods. I know i would lose more if I journaled, and being more cognitive. I do eat healthy. My surgery was 10.6.14, and my pre surgery weight was 292, and im 254 now.

@Superbariactricbabe, I sip during meals and after as well. I don't know ifnits bad or how it can affect weight loss. I will have to ask my MD. It really has been the hardest transition for me.

Oh my goodness, I've missed so much this weekend! I will try and catch up tomorrow!

Had a super busy day yesterday and today was total lazy day! Slept in very late, felt amazing!! Must have needed the sleep. But it put me behind on eating and drinking. It was a struggle all day going up and down stairs to the bathroom and to do laundry. My legs just burned and ached like I'd worked out like crazy, but I didn't....

Off to bed I go. See. You all tomorrow!

So I despise full body pics... But here it goes. This is day of surgery. 1 month and 2 months.

That's almost 40 pounds. That sounds like you're doing amazing. Keep up the great work.

New milestone 80 pounds down. I can not believe it. Last year at this time, I was miserable, saw no hope for the future and look at me now. 25 pounds from my goal weight, Woot Woot!

@@smiley922 Imagine carrying 80 lbs. What if you were to take a bag of that size. I bet you wouldn't even begin to lift it of the ground. Yet, you walked with it all day. No wonder you were miserable. We all were. I hated going up the stairs because it hurt. Taking the groceries out from the car was a chore. Everything was hard. Even though I am nowhere near 80 lbs I can already feel a huge difference. What kinds of differences do you see in yourself?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
