8mo post op, 85lbs down!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!!

Just wanted to share some success! I've actually been really down lately about how I look. I keep saying I look the same and I still have so much more to go.

I wish someone had prepared me for the head games involved with this process. It takes a while for your head to catch up to how far you have come. My boyfriend suggested I do some shopping and it was the first time I really said to myself "wow, if I stopped here I would not be unsatisfied" and MEANT it.

Target shirt in a MEDIUM (whaaaaaaat! I was in a TIGHT 3xl), Uniqlo jeans in a 29 (they're really stretchy Ive been wearing a 10 lately and my waist is 33 1/2 inches)!

Anyway point of this is...take some time to let yourself enjoy your success. It's so easy to become hyper critical of yourself.

Omg!! You look amazing!!! I hit my first stall after having lost 39 pounds and moped around for literally 3 days. I finally dusted myself off, and the weight loss is continuing albeit slowly. As long as my weight is going down... [or staying the same] and not going up... I'm a happy camper! You rocking it though girlie!!!

@@kmsull617 I wore some VERY STRETCHY size 20 jeans, but in all honesty I was likely closer to a 26/28. My waist was around 52 inches at the time the picture was taken ???? I never allowed myself to be photographed (which I deeply regret now)!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
