45 pounds DOWN today!



Recommended Posts

It's been almost 9 months since my lap band surgery. Lots of GREAT days, a handful of what I like to call "learning experiences". I have learned which foods go down and which foods, even when I chew them into liquid (Pallisade Peaches - absolutely delicious) just won't pass through. I've gotten better at respecting that muscle burns fat and you need more muscle while you're losing weight if you want to KEEP losing weight. I've learned that sizes and numbers don't make me happy but a 'come hither look' from across a room from my husband of 29 years DOES make me swoon!!! And I've learned that this is a life long journey and there is no prize for who makes it to the finish line (goal weight) the fastest - as long as we're all running in the right direction, it will happen.

Thank you to this board for helping me remember why I went through with this surgery and to keep me motivated to stay on course and take care of myself. What an amazing life this is, huh? Especially now that I have lost more weight (45 lbs) than I have to lose to get to goal (44 lbs)!

THREE POUNDS TO GO??!!! Again, not so much about the numbers but I am imagining that you have learned a lot about yourself and your relationship with food over the last several years on the this journey. I know I HAVE and it's only been 9 months! Don't you wish we did this 20 years ago???? Or for me, 30 years ago!

I'm so happy for you! This is something I too am looking forward to, indeed the relationship with food is very important and it is a life long journey of re educating yourself out of bad habits and I'm glad to see you are doing an amazing job!

Well done ????

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
