I'm 5'1"... SW: 244; CW: 178; surgery 8/18/15

NSV:

1. I am an independent distributor for Young Living Essential Oils. I have a Facebook group to keep connected with my downline. There are several people in the group that have never met me or know me personally. I posted a video last night about one of the ways I use Lemon oil and immediately got 3 messages and a text about "how skinny/amazing you look!!" I didn't even think about how I looked when I did the video because I do them at least monthly... Sometimes more. It felt awesome!

2. I am now wearing a 15/16 jean and Large shirts comfortably but mediums don't look that bad. I wear scrubs and our logo tshirt to work and I've had to size down from 2XL to L. I was even having to stretch the bottom of the shirt to fit over my giant ass.

3. I've been taking a lot more hot baths lately because the Water actually covers me and I don't touch the sides anymore!

4. I know it's terrible for circulation but I cross my legs all the time...comfortably!

SVs: 1. Last week I hit my "wedding weight" from 11 years ago which was the smallest I had ever been as an adult.

2. This morning I realized that I'm only 8 lbs from my drivers license weight... Which was a lie from the beginning!

I hope to hit my goal weight of 135-140 by 1 year which will line up with our annual family photo shoot. I'd love to do some boudoir for my husband after I get to goal... Not during the family ones of course ;)

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
