Anyone weigh 302? Here is what's in store for you!



Recommended Posts

Ten months ago I weighed 302. Yes, 302. I was so blue.

My life was small and getting worse. Obesity was my lifelong curse.

I had a dream. A dream to live. It asked for all my strength to give.

I mustered strength and all my will. Every requirement I would fill.

I got my LapBand and then began

My new life of not "can't", but "can".

I can, I said, and walked a mile. You've never seen a bigger smile.

I can, I said, and rode a horse. "The hour trail?" I said, "Of course!"

A trip to Italy, climbing hills. My new endurance gave me chills.

A bubble bath is a luxury that once was for everyone else but me.

An airplane ride with a regular belt. I can't describe how good that felt.

The movie seats used to squish my hips. Now the room I have brings a grin to my lips.

My larger clothes become someone's prize as I donate them for a smaller size.

My dozen meds have gone away. One pill and a Vitamin today.

Arthritis pain controlled me so. I am so glad to see that go.

A hundred pounds have waved goodbye. There really is no better high.

Fifty more to get to goal. Not stopping now. I'm on a roll!

So if you're starting out, don't fear. This all can be in your new year!

Have faith, believe, work hard, and give

Yourself the best of gifts -- to LIVE!

      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.

      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! 😞
