I joined this forum back in April of this year! I have not posted much, but I have been lurking and soaking up as much information as I could. In April I started out with a Surgeon that requested that I lose 60 pounds,and I kept the office updated on my progress. Once the weight was lost I called relentlessly to get a answer from the front desk so I could get scheduled for my endoscopy....I was giving the run around. Long story short, My cousin had just had the surgery and she was talking about how great her surgeon was. (Mine and hers were under the same hospital umbrella) I called to see if I could switch to the one she had, which took a little while because surgeons don't not like to take patients from their partners basically. Anyways...He took my as his patient and I could not be more happy! He did my endo..and biopsy and I had gastritis, so got medication for that and then he requested that I lose another 25 pounds :o. I was discouraged, but i knew it was for my own good. I lost the 25 and when I started my journey in April I was 560 pounds. I am now 473 and which leaves me around 87 pounds lost on my own in 7 months! I never thought it was possible to do so. My addiction to food was severe. I would have rather get some ice cream and cake than socialize with the outside world before. Now I get out a lot more and have fun and I haven't had the surgery yet but I feel like I will succeed in staying on track because I have the discipline. Don't get it twisted though...in those 7 months I had about 3 slip ups to where i gained 5 or 6 back and got it off again. My pre- admission testing is Thursday and my surgery date is Dec 6th and my stomach is in knots everyday just waiting for the day. This forum has been a life saver! Everyone here that has taking the step to your new life are the real MVPs!!!

That is awesome, way to go! I am sure you are going to do great with the surgery, it’s sounds like you have been super disciplined and have stuck to the plan. [emoji4]


Have a great day!

      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.

      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!!
