I'm in a cross road .



Recommended Posts

I'm 215 Pounds my Heights is five-three I'm 42 yrs old I look like I'm in my early 30s . I don't look bad but I'm not at my best and I'm definitely not content with myself . I look in the mirror & I see who I don't want to see . I have 3 kids but the last 2 were back to back & I never lost the baby fat from the second that I was already in My third pregnancy. I use to weight 160 & I was content with that but now I'm 215 and I'm stuck at this & it's been a couple of weeks It's not easy I can't recognize who I am . Now in August 11th of 2016 I'm going in for a procedure I'm doing the sleeve this is where I'm at a cross road in my life what is a lady supposed to do when all this is So new and you don't know what to expect or what's the outcome is going to be . My biggest fear is losing 50 to 60 pounds losing it to fast is not a good thing but then the consequences is what I don't know how to face, being Flabby it's my nightmare & I'm sure I'm not alone ... I want garenteeds results & we all know thats not going to happen. My questions are once your lose the weight is there any way to tune up, to tighten your Flabby skin? & how long it would take ... Someone out there has to have been where I'm at . Who ever you are please help me get my head straight. My husband has heard me over & over again talk about this he is convinced it could be a good thing because this is what I wanted . But now the time is getting closer & I question myself is this what I want .

Well it will be 5 months for me on Sunday and the only loose skin I have is on my arms, but I knew that, my stomach currently is good, keeping close eyes on my thighs lots of cellulite. I am in the gym mostly 3 days a week I walk at least 6000 steps 5 days a week

And the goal is to add a cycling class in January

I started Water aerobics one month after surgery two days a week, added the 3rd day in October. .. my husband is very supportive and says in January we can start looking interviewing a plastic surgeon if I want for my arms etc... just stay prayful, I really grateful I'm getting control of my health and may just let it be instead of trying to look perfect for who... I knew I was gorgeous at 200+ pounds. .so why can't I think I'm better now and will be good at my goal sagging arms thighs or whatever I'll just buy spanks for special occasions lol!!!

      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?

      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... :(
