Recommended Posts

hey all .. glad to see this thread.. ive been debating this issue myself.. ive lost 220 lbs so far.. weighing in at 190. really never saw myself this small before.. i mean i weighed over 200lbs at age 9 .. so this is the smallest ive ever been .. my doc is really talking about me getting 160 or less.. frankly.. im content if i could have my skin removal surgery.. thats the only thing that makes me unhappy.. but part of me is still fighting to get to 160 before i have the surgery.. im 5ft7 and very muscular.. i guess part of me figures.. ive lost 220 already .. why not another 30.... how do u know what size is right for u.. if youve never been there?

12!

Every pound counts right? I am at the point now, where if I don't exercise, no matter how little I eat, I do not lose.

So I am at the gym and/or walking with my buddy every single day this week. I can do this.

HOW IS EVERYONE ELSE DOING?

I have been saying from time to time that deep inside, I don't believe I will ever get to my goal of 175. This morning, I got a little butterfly in my stomach that believed that I would. And soon.

As I count down, I am becoming a believer. This just thrills me to no end. Life with the band is beautiful.:faint:

Just had to say something.

I FEEL SO FRIGGEN AWESOME!

I love getting dressed in bright colours, form fitting clothes and I love feeling beautiful. Yesterday I got some new make-up, bought a bright PINK sweatshirt and put on my skinny jeans, now too big. I am on my way out the door and I feel so alive.

Hope you are feeling awesome too!

The banded life is great!

My new pink sweatshirt and these were my goal jeans. I still have a teense of a muffin top, but I feel really great in this outfit. Haven't worn pink since I was 10.

But wanted to share. I am 11 pounds from goal.

Tonks, it's when some, uhh... flesh... spills over the edges of your pants, much like a muffin does over the edge of the paper cup! hehe

jajajajajajaja, Ok, I see.... then I have a bit of a muffin top too!

Wow Argon..........ONly 6 !!!! That is just great!!!!!!!

I would like to upload some pics.... but I really don't know how to place pictures in here.

I only had to lose like 100 pounds, (I'm 17 away from my goal) and I must say my belly has been very decent..... so much, that I don't think I need surgery fro that part of my body.... but my arms, well that's a different story.

      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! 😞
