Finally under 300 pounds!



Recommended Posts

Today I hit 299. I have not been under 300 in 5 years. And that time was because I lost weight for a trip to Hawaii. I came home and gained it all back. For the first time in my life, I know I will never be over 300 again because I'm not doing it because of some silly goal like a trip, a reunion, family holiday. I'm finally doing it for the right reasons. Almost 3 weeks post op and I have not regretted my decision for even one second.

Great! I can't wait until I do the same. I haven't been that low since I was in college at VA Tech over 20 years ago. As I type this 17 lbs to go to 299.

34lbs to go for me! I can't wait to get below 300 and know that this time, it'll be the last time.

I started this journey at 380.5, lost 38 during pre-op and am down 9 since surgery last Tuesday.

I was a little disappointed after seeing some other folks having lost 10-15 in their first week but then I look at how far I came so quickly already. Almost 50lbs in just over 11 weeks and one of those weeks were post-op. That's a big accomplishment! No more comparing myself to others!

Awesome weight loss. And it will not come back. That is the huge difference. Yes it is a different lifestyle than some. But for me it works. Hope it does continue for you. Keep posting. People care!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
