Kept up with the kids...



Recommended Posts

It has been raining where I live for the last 3 days. My kids were totally over being inside, so I took them to a family fun center indoor playground. They had a blast and I TOTALLY KEPT UP WITH THEM! I was climbing up the 3 story jungle gym and going into the ball pit. Before surgery, I'd have just sat at the benches and waiting for them to be done. I'd also have been worried that the playground wouldn't support my weight. I feel really great that I could actually participate with my little babies. I'm feeling very thankful right about now.

I don't have kids, so I've no real idea how you might feel...

But I'm in a surprisingly supportive mood so I thought I'd say well done...

Well done!!!

My goal is to be that mom who plays with her kids at the park :) It's so hard having all this fat to lug around and I tire so easily... not for long!! Stories like these give me hope. My boy is still very small (13 months old) so I have plenty of time to shed the weight and become the fun mom I want to be.

Awesome! I went ice skating with mine for the first time since my surgery. I am a MUCH better skater 35 pounds down. And while my 3 year old took breaks, I didn't need one!

My girls are ages 1 and 2. A huge motivation for me to have surgery is so I'm able to do more with them, and I didn't want them to know me as their "fat mom". I know my kids would love me no matter my size, but I want to live/look/be healthy so that they will grow up healthy also.

@@needtorecover you will be that mom!

My daughter is 9 and I look forward to having the stamina to keep up with her. She is a ball of energy and as she is the only child and we are on a street with no other kiddos, she needs someone to play with. Time for this fat dad to become the fun dad !

      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.

        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?
