3mo post op- 100lbs down, 100 more to lose



Recommended Posts

Today is my 3 month post op anniversary and ive hit 100 pounds down fron the start of this WL journey. I am halfway there and am struggling with the idea that I'm able to lose more weight. 100 is a LOT to lose, but I have been at this weight before (5 years ago) and was never able to get lower. So I'm posting progress pics to remind myself 2 things. 1) I've come a long way and 2) im not who I was...I will go further

You are doing great girl!! I started my journey of massive weight loss for a third time when I had my RYN (first time lost 70lbs with WW, second lost 70lbs with lap band). Both previous times I managed to get to about 205ish, never under 200. Two points on this for you:
1. When I was near this weight before my goal was 180-185 and so 200 was never enough. I could not be happy there. Both times it was a struggle to even get that low. So this time I said I would be happy at 200 if that is where my body wants to be.
2. With This surgery everything has been so much easier. When I got to 205 I knew I'd surpass it and I did.
At 197 I decided to have a lower body lift (that was 9 days ago). They took off 15lbs!! I'm now 190 and expect to loss more due to swelling. I will hit my goal and this time have a massive inventive to keep it off!

Good luck to you on the rest of your journey! You go this!!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
