My Journey- 240 to 123.



Recommended Posts

Hi my name is Bella. I've lost about 120 pounds from 150 highest to 123 today.

I had my sleeve surgery dec 2015.

Still getting used to this new way of eating. There are definitely ups and downs.

I've been through a lot but I would do it again!!!

Some pictures of me along the way.

I haven't had any plastic surgery and have a little bit of loose skin on my belly and I'd like a Tummy Tuck someday. There is a little on my legs arms and neck also but it's really mild and doesn't bother me, I don't need plastics there.

Wow, you have been through and are going through a lot. Thank you so much for sharing your story. What I find the most inspiring is that even with all the pain and turmoil of your experience, your optimism shines through. I am so glad to hear that you are continuing to use the support of a therapist and have not given up.

By the way, you look great, too.

Please keep us updated on how you are doing.

      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! 😞
