I never thought it would be me

I never thought I could or would be as successful as everyone I saw on this forum. The first few weeks post op I looked at people posting 100 pound weight-loss thinking if only that could be me! I have to say that it happens so slow and yet so fast! I am one of those people that loses weight every few weeks! 2-3 weeks with our losing weight then a 10 pound weight-loss, it’s so crazy! The biggest thing I take out of this is a new relationship with food that I hope to keep for a lifetime! So excited to see what the next year holds! Good luck to everyone on this journey. I don’t regret it for a second (except not doing it sooner!)

Look at you!! You did it! And you look fabulous!

We are super-close surgery twins!

Same height, same starting weight, and our surgeries were only 9 days apart! (And we're both down 100lbs!) Where have you been hiding?

I don’t know! I haven’t lost any weight in 3 weeks that’s why I did this post, to remind myself! This is getting harder, I just want to get the next 40 pounds off. But I know it will take time. Are you stalling at all?

I went to go look. I had two weeks that I lost no weight (week 5 and 13). So, depending on your definition, no, I really haven't stalled.

What I did realize is the first 6 months I only lost one pound one time. From 6 months until now, I've had 7 weeks where I've only lost one pound.

So the losses have dramatically slowed. I've been more hungry after 6 months, and there is less of me to burn calories. If I want to boost my losses back up, I need to cut back on the calories or start hitting the gym.

My ultimate goal is 30 or 40 more pounds, which will take a ridiculous amount of time at one pound a week.. so I've gotto get on the ball!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
