Laura's RNY Journey; Age 31 Starting Weight 365

[Laura7 334]

I lost the pregnancy. 😢 it was very early; the forum was one of the only places I could post so soon - anonymously. I hope my journey leads to a viable pregnancy. That is my only real goal, not a number. I have lost a little weight and body fat recently. I had some serious food aversions in my first weeks of pregnancy. Thanks for the support. I’ll keep you guys updated.

I have officially lost 100lbs!!! 365 to 265!!! 25 more pounds to the next goal of 240. And 45 lbs to my goal of 220! I’m 5’8’’ so when I started 220 seemed like a great final goal. But we will see! 😁

I'm at 228, down from 319 at surgery 7.5 months ago, I almost cried yesterday at PCP office when nurse weighed me, NEVER DID I REALLY BELIEVE This old Gal could go THAT low! My NP at bariatric surgeon's office, Valerie would be satisfied with anything under 200, suppose I could be also except I would like to see if I COULD MAKE IT DOWN to 175, and my dream of a 15 Junior size, under this still cracking Fat Shell that's what I think I am. When was I ever THAT SIZE? Would you believe 14, that was right after I ballooned to that weight from 110 at 13. Family Doctor promised my dead late Mama as soon as my hormones smoothed out I would drop the extra weight like a snap of my fingers. This means I have been waiting 60 years, and I think,that is plenty long enough! As I look back, and peeps, people. my age are better at past than today, and the thought of tomorrow? Cover that when we get there! Well only bono- fide change I can remember in Family diet was we went from regular to homogenized milk. Our dairy locally got absorbed by a conglomerate and that was only way they sold dairy products. Is it too late to sue Sealtest as a contributor to my obesity downfall? Guess the Statue of Limitations has long past, but I could feel at least😋😭🌺🌸 some vindication!

I am so sorry for your loss. It's not easy, but just know you will have that family.

You look incredible! I too hit a 100 pound loss this week! I wasn't expecting it my goal weight for myself was 140. It would a 95 loss. But I've been sleeved and bypassed ( with in 17 months) it's been a rough journey. But even through all the craziness, I would do all of this all over again. I love reading your journey. And hope you keep at this! Thanks for sharing, even through the tough parts. I've been there too.
We miscarried, took a year to get pregnant, very rough pregnancy and 70 hour labor, and then were unable to conceive a second time. Fertility treatments failed, and by 29 I had to have a hysterectomy. But despite I have an incredible smart 15 year who keeps me busy!

Hello all! I just started a dietbet on their app. The buy in was $80 and you can win up to $610. The goal is to lose 4% which for me is like 10.8 lbs by May 20th. I’m super excited because I’ve already been on track 7 days with two days of going out and keeping it under 1500 even when going out. So, I’m feeling pretty pumped!

[Laura7 334]

I already lost 1.8lbs in the competition!

Also did you guys know that MyFitnessPal has a place to put photos by your weight log? It’s great!

So, this is not a before and after. This is an example of how you can be healthier at the same weight. I’ve lost over 100lbs and I am back to what I weighed at my wedding. But I can see that the wedding picture on the left is a much less healthy and fit person. I remember how heavy I felt. Now I’m the same weight but feel 100xs better than I did then. I thought I’d share this “non-scale victory” with you all.

So, no weight loss this morning. Still at 263.4 or 263.6. I’ve been PERFECT with my diet and taking walks, using the elliptical and going to personal training. I hate these days when your body just holds on to the weight. I’m going to drink plenty of Water today and see if that helps. I know that I’m doing everything right. :-(
