6 months post op...closing in on 100lbs lost total since my journey began in Oct. 2015



Recommended Posts

As I close in on 100 lbs gone forever , I am finally realizing gastric bypass was the best thing I've ever done for myself and my family....I feel better...I feel I look better...lol.....I went clothes shopping on Sunday to find an outfit for an upcoming Blake Shelton concert that my hubby bought me VIP tickets for an early birthday present. I found the outfit I'm wearing in the picture below..I was so excited when I pulled the jean jacket off the rack thinking it's not going to fit...it's an XL.....omg! It actually fits me!! ???? ....I started my journey at 324lbs...SW was 295...CW is 227 ....one of the things on my bucket list is to hike in the Rockies with my son next month...He is so excited that I am going to attempt this with him ???????? I'm moving onward and downward with the new me....I cannot wait to see 199 on that scale!!! post-265677-0-20172800-1471376274_thumb.jpeg post-265677-0-54175800-1471376285_thumb.jpeg

First, congratulations on this milestone. It's easy to tell from your post how in tune you are with the feelings that accompany a large weight loss. I hope you revel everyday. There's something to going beyond just acknowledging the number, but rather feeling that weight loss through your experiences like shopping, concerts, travel, etc. I think it allows for a deeper mind/body connection.

Second, I also went to Colorado, NM-for the international Balloon Fiesta, and AZ to see the Grand Canyon. It was a spiritual experience. Granted it was early in my journey but I too had lost enough that there was no doubt I could walk and move in a way I hadn't since adolescence.

Your light shines brightly and it will only grow in time. Continued blessings as you move forward.

All my best,

Daniel

      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?
