2015 New Year Resolutions



Recommended Posts

Great topic!

This last year was exciting for me and 2015 will be even better!

Last year we went on a few family vacations and my family is extremely caring about me. I have psoriatic arthritis for years and it has damaged some of my joints. At my largest weight I was 310 and in horrible pain everyday. I refuse to take pain meds because they simply amplify that pain and have horrible side effects. So, if there was something I could not do, they refused to do it without me. That meant many times I would try things I shouldn't be and end up in so much pain it was hard to enjoy my vacation and they spent the whole time asking me if I was ok.

That is no longer the case after dropping over 60lbs. I move so much faster that I find myself having to slow down and ask my hubby if he is ok.

In February we are taking my family to Hawaii! We have a lot of activities planned and I will not be the one that holds everyone up.

In the spring I want to be able to ride a bike again and have been building stamina and balance in my exercise program so I can accomplish this.

I am going to get to my goal weight before my surgiversary.

I was layed off last April from a job that I had been at for 25 years as a sr. Director. That job created so much stress in my life. Another goal will be to move my family from its current location in Minneapolis to Nevada. Once there I will land a good job doing what I love most.

Cannot wait for this next year, it is going to be a great one!

Happy New Year everyone!

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
