124.7 LBS Down, 9 Months Post-Op



Recommended Posts

#Speechless. Please read: I remember vividly waking up March 11th and being so nervous, questioning if I should go through the surgery... Dozens of fears about the unknown surfaced. I shook it off and told myself that I could do it! I carried two babies full term, so this was nothing! Now that I am 9 months out, I feel AMAZING! While I input my weigh-in for this week, I was blown away to read that I'm OVERWEIGHT and not OBESE! My BMI is almost at my target goal, I am 25LBS AWAY from my goal weight... I can just cry right now! I'm becoming a normal, healthy person and that is so valuable to me. The time I have invested in this for me has definitely been worth it! This is a good Christmas present to me from me! 124.7LBS down and I am NOT STOPPING!

Way to go! That's amazing! I just got back from my weigh in (pre op...my surgery is scheduled for January 25th) and I was feeling very anxious, and unsure... Then I read your post and that helped me so much... I am so happy to hear that you are doing well this is by far the hardest yet best decision I've ever had to make... I have a long way to go but you give me hope ☺️ thank you

Hello Becca !

Girl you got this! I will say this... everyone is different and the results will vary! You will start feeling your best at about 3 months so prepare yourself mentally. One thing that helped me a lot was I always had Portion Control and always followed my food stages. So, if you like jell-o, pudding and broths... you will love this stage! I also found it very helpful to eat from 2oz containers, (salsa, Condiments, dips are usually stored in them. You can find them probably at your local dollar store ). Also be very selective on what type of food to "test your pouch" with... I lost my soul to temptation one day and ended up eating half a pizza slice 4 weeks out, I got so sick!

Are you doing any pre-op diets? If so which one/s? I had to do a 10 day liquid diet followed by a wonderful flush that was so disgusting and I was in the bathroom all day lol

Good luck on your journey! Keep up the good work and keep us posted! ❤️ Always remember this is for you! No one else but you girl.

Happy Holidays & God bless! ❤️

I guess the most important thing I have learned through this whole process is that I HAVE to do this for me... If I tried to do it any other way I would never have been able to get where I am right now...ultimately me being healthy again will benefit those I love but I had to start loving myself first.. (hope that makes sense) as for the diet I was never actually put on a specific diet although in a group discussion they did bring up Medifast and lean and green diet... I started myself on a 1500 calorie diet and now am down to a 1200 calorie. They said if it's working stay with it so I am lol I have been reading allot on this app about the liquid diet but no one has mentioned that to me personally (at least not yet) I have an appt with my surgeon on the 17th of January (8 days prior to surgery) so that may very well change! Thanks for your support and again congratulations!! I'm so happy for you ☺️

      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?
