Update 16 months out, down 100lbs! (photos)



Recommended Posts

Hello, I haven’t posted an update in awhile. I’m down 100lbs and have basically been able to maintain since my lower body lift in August!

RYN - Oct 2016 - 292

LBL - Aug 2017 - 197

Today 191lbs

Everything has come pretty easily to me and no complications! I don’t exercise very much, just keep busy with my son and try to walk on treadmill 1-2 times a week, some ab work and push-ups here and there. I want to maintain at 185, so I’m back to logging food and watching things a little closer. But can’t believe how far I’ve come.

Planning another round of plastic surgery probably for April - revision to upper tummy with breast lift as well as a small arm and thigh lift. Would also like some fat transfer to butt! Have my consult in two weeks.

I’ll be 40 in 12 days!!

Thank you everyone!! Life is awesome! I feel better then I did in my 20’s! For me the key has been to be realistic about goals and honest about what is possible.

For me, this is a place I can still enjoy/love food and love myself!! No struggle and no deprivation. The surgery has helped in so many ways!!! Before I would have to work my ASS off to lose weight and maintaining was a fairy tale. Not anymore!!

It was hard! But totally worth it. I’m 6 months out from that and the incision on my butt/back is still numb and tingly and I think still a little swollen!
I will need a revision for some additional skin left at the top of my stomach but otherwise....totally worth it!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
