New Year's Resolution?!



Recommended Posts

I just realized I have never made a New Years resolution that didn't involve losing weight or some sort of fad diet. Now what to do⁉️ What a wonderful problem to have!

Yeah, and seeing all the ads for weight loss solutions!.. NOPE, been there done that! Don't need to do any more than I already am doing! I feel very happy that my weight is heading downwards slowly but surely, and I'm feeling better all the time.

@@Kindle Wow. I signed on just now to post a very similar thing!!! But I'll just add my comment to your post.

All these new year's 'weight loss' resolution commercials; and which weight-loss program to join; and to 'lose 5 pounds the first week,' etc. Marie Osmond. Weight Wathcers. etc. I do NOT have to WORRY myself with that stuff anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whoop, whoop!! Whippeee!!!!!!!!!!!! Hot Damn!!!!!!!!!!!!

The FREEDOM that VSG/WLS gives is remarkable!!!!!!! And it IS freedom from the dread and the 'let me try this again this year, this week, this coming Monday, this.... blah, blah blah., knowing you're only going to fail again. We have F-R-E-E-D-O-M!!!!

Thank you, God, that I decided to take the step to VSG/WLS. It gave me a wonderful 2014 and I anticipate only greater happiness in 2015.

Haha, I thought about the same thing! Fortunately, I still have a few pounds to go so I won't have to be creative this year and come up with something new, but what a novel idea- to not have to go on a major diet on New Year!

My resolutions are all about my Real Estate career this year. Nice to focus on something other than dieting for once!

My surgery was just 2 weeks ago so I still have a "fitness" goal/resolution this year because I want to make sure I do things right.

Here are my resolutions:

- Be active (gym, etc.) 3x per week when given the go-ahead by surgeon.

- Read at least 50 books.

- Spend more time with friends!

mine is to continue my weight loss and get to my goal (hopefully by spring, but no set timeline). Also, i am focusing on changing my career path and getting grad school done. it is time for ME now, and my family and our collective happiness. it is going to be a great year for me!

I don't have a resolution this year. More of a promise to myself. I usually do the whole diet and exercise thing too. But this year I can focus on the shopping trip I'm planning with my daughter (because I really need clothes that fit) and the roller coasters I'm going to ride with my son when we go to amusement parks and all the other fun things I can finally do this year. So excited to start this year out not feeling dumpy and ashamed of myself because I once again let myself go instead of being committed. Such a great feeling to be proud of what you've accomplished and feel great about how you look. And all the little NSV's. I've never taken so many pictures with me in them before. Hope everybody else is feeling blessed for making the best decision we could have ever made.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
