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

      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! 😞
