For so many reason!

Surgery date- 3/23/16.

SW 272

CW 210.

60 more to go.....

Yep. I'm officially in the 10's! Next stop Onederland!

It amazes me daily how the weight loss speeds up and slows down. Seems like when I was in the 30's it was just yo-yo-ing through them. When I hit the twenties, went faster. When I hit the teens- zoom!!!

I've no clue how long it will take to get to 199- but we're in it for the long haul, so it shall do what it shall do in terms of time.

Today I finally packed up all of my plus sized clothing. There is not one piece over a 16 or XL top, and those are getting roomy.

I kept putting it off- finally piling them up in a corner of my room until my husband asked if I wanted him to bag them for donation. Nope, it was something I needed to do myself. I didn't mourn them- other than a couple of pieces I actually loved- as I thought I would. I was giddy cleaning out my closets today. Someone is going to get a great deal at goodwill on some beautiful size 22-18 Tahari suits! My closet is quite barren now, save for the few things I am buying to get myself through- mainly workout clothes that double as errand running outfits.

Next week we Celebrate our 20th anniversary. Instead of Vegas, or Nashville we're going hiking at Starved Rock here in Illinois. Now THAT is a vacation I could not have done even 3 months ago!!!

Congratulations! My husand and I had our 20th in April. We haven't done a whole lot to Celebrate yet. i have a while to go before I have my surgery. I'm in Ontario, and it usually takes 12-18 months from the date we're referred but I am so encouraged by reading other success stories. I was referred 4 months ago, so I'm getting there. Your success is an inspriation! Keep up the great work. :)

      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.

      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! 😞
