Beyond happy with my surgery!



Recommended Posts

HW: 257

Surgery Weight: 235 (September 30th)

Today: 202!!! So close to Onederland!

I've lost 55 pounds! I've gone from a size 22/24 to a 13/14. From a 3x on top to a large! I work out 5 days a week and I've ran my fastest mile (12:59) ever! I survived an intense yoga session yesterday! Before I was too big to even attempt it! I no longer have to shop plus size! I'm off all of my acid reducers for acid reflux!

The last picture is a dress I bought thinking as I skimmed down would still look cute and be wearable. The picture shows when I first bought it in the top left. The next two are what it looked like yesterday. And the bottom right is the exact same dress just different color, in a size large.

I'm finally getting my life back. I couldn't be happier. I fly to Colorado to visit my boyfriend for the first time since surgery and I'm so excited to see him AND to fit on an airplane for once! post-262421-14477084078111_thumb.jpg post-262421-1447708470543_thumb.jpg post-262421-14477086521503_thumb.jpg

This is a very impressive pace. Don't get upset if in a couple pounds (in Onederland), the numbers get a little sticky. It's normal, and it's for the better, and will make your weight loss better quality in the long run. My current stall is about two weeks old and I am learning to love and embrace it for what it means.

That sounds terrific! Have you shared pics with your boyfriend or is he in for a not so "big" surprise? (Also, I love that you're doing squats. Compounds were my fave before I put on too much weight that they started hurting my knees. Too many women think they'll get "huge" if they lift weights.)

I have showed him. I get too excited lol but I think he will still be pleasantly surprised. I look pretty different. The first pic is the last time he saw me at my heaviest. I love lifting. I'm really strong. I've put a lot of research into my exercise and studies show that muscle helps burn a lot more fat. So for me lifting is a must. post-262421-14477819397259_thumb.jpg post-262421-14477820283561_thumb.jpg post-262421-14477820590296_thumb.jpg post-262421-14477820724935_thumb.jpg post-262421-14477821734767_thumb.jpg

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
