Dec 13th- 1 year Surgiversary!!



Recommended Posts

BEFORE & AFTER PICS!

100 pds down!!

Dec 13th 2016, I was heading to the hospital to undergo one of the biggest changes of my life and I felt nervous, scared and excited all at the same time. Not having a lot of support to do the surgery didn’t concern me as much as disappoint, I was doing it for me not others so in the end only what I wanted truly mattered.

I came out of surgery with the worst nausea of my life and wondered if I did the right thing.

Out of the hospital 3 days later and started trying out this new way of life.

3 months in and 30 pounds down, I still slightly struggled with finding my perfect balance.

6 months out and 60 pounds down I felt way more in control and confidence in my new self.

12 months out and 95 pounds down I can’t remember what it’s like to live any differently. I’m sooo happy and I’m glad I made the decision to do this.

It’s definitely not the easy way out as some people feel. It’s hard work and dedication and absolutely worth every moment spent on becoming the best me!

I still feel insecure at times, due to others negativity, but that’s a work in progress and I’ll never give up.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
