84 pounds down and below 300



Recommended Posts

What a great journey. I've dropped 84 pounds since late January. My surgery was on March 9th. I've worked my way up to >250 miles per week on my bike. I rode 81 miles last Saturday. Tomorrow will be the first day to ride on the road bike that I rode 6 years ago when I regularly rode 300 miles each week. I still have about 120 lbs to goal, but this feels good!

Cloths are interesting. I've taken the last few months off work, which for me is a suit and tie gig. I'm looking at going back to work in June, and now have the issue of buying new suits. We went to dinner at a friends house tonight - most of my cloths just fall off and are useless to me.

Thanks to everyone for your support! You all rock!

@Rogoful - until today I've been riding a Catrike Expedition. It's a recumbent trike. Very fun to ride and easy on the back and seat. They say the weight limit is 275lbs, but I can tell you it handles about 400lbs.

Today I'm on my road bike, and after 40 miles my backside is hurting. ????

      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! 😞
