One year ago today I had my RNY bypass done! One year later and I'm down 125lbs and I have lost a total of 90.5 inches!!!!

I feel amazing, my knees don't ache every time I move and my feet aren't so sore from carrying that much weight around!

I don't get winded walking up a flight of stairs anymore and have found that I love jogging and I love yoga and riding a bike is fun again!!

I still struggle with who I see in the mirror so I take a lot of pictures. I take measurements every month or so and I Celebrate with activities instead of food now.

What a difference a year can make!

It's such a huge step you are taking! I still remember counting it down! The past year has flown by and I am still in this journey to build healthier habits and lifestyle choices. You have to learn to do a lot of things all over again but if you take advantage of this amazing tool you can gain so much more out of life!

Congratulations! My one year will be in October. I can not believe how fast the time has gone. I still do not recognize the person looking back at me in the mirror and still find it hard to take the snide comments (like you need to eat a cheeseburger, you have lost enough weight or my all time favorite, "You don't have AIDS do you?"). Keep up the great work and be proud of what you have accomplished.

What I have found is that a lot of times people just don't understand and that ignorance makes them come across as being mean or rude. The comments that people make about how much weight we've lost or how little we eat or how different we are from the people we used to be do get old but they also come from people not knowing what to say to us and not understanding what life is like for us now.

So we will keep rocking on and doing what we do and being healthier versions of ourselves and we will smile when people make stupid comments because in the end we are better than letting the ignorance of others steal our sparkle!

      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?

      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
