Just being nosey

Well for me.

I fit in clothes that I never did before. So I have a small amount of fashion sense now.

I'm back to being athletic again and playing some sports

When I go get a drink and get ID'd I get complimented.

Negatives. I hate food. Dating still sucks.

Lucky. I wish I hated food ;)

Thanks for the support! I know I'm bitching a lot. What frustrates me most is the lack of support from the first program. It is good to hear that you found your way out of the medical labyrinth. Good for you for hanging in there! I'm so happy to hear that you were able to overcome the thyroid problem and move forward in your life.

I will, too. I was very excited at my last three visits to have actually dropped weight consecutively, even small amounts. That has not happened for at least two decades! It was so weird to be told, "Congratulations, you are doing really well, and you're doing so well we have to stop seeing you and hope you find a new place."

I look forward to being able to simply post my joy at being able to do things I love again like hiking, running and almost every kind of dance. Also, tying my shoes. I'll even be able to go shopping IN MY OWN CLOSET!

@@LipstickLady You are a beautiful lady! I love your story as it is similar to mine right now. I haven't had surgery yet, but I am in the gym 3-5 days a week, do kickboxing and love to do hikes. I've been pretty healthy except for back pain. A few weeks ago, my knees started aching. I know the years of obesity are starting to take a toll. I hope to have surgery in January, though I wish it was sooner.

Thanks for sharing your story. You are an inspiration :)

At 254 I struggled with health issues, I was not a happy person on the inside. I was a couch potato. I had given up on myself.

I spent 8 days in the hospital with Diabetic ketoacidosis. My internal organs systematically shut down. I was resuscitated after my heart stopped. I needed to get my health and my life back in order. I decided to have weight loss surgery.

At 135 I'm happy and in great health. I learned to forgive myself for many things to move on. I am honest with who I am and what I want out of life. Its an amazing place to be.

Whats new now?

Getting out and living life! I'm an adrenaline junkie Checking items off my bucket list.

I was asked to take over new job responsibilities at work. I instruct fitness for senior citizens. ( I'm working on my personal trainer certification)

I'm competitive in my old age (48years). I've been distance running for a while. I have two years to get in shape for the senior games in Boise. My goal is to be a bad ass old fart.

      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... :(
