At my goal weight a week away from 7 months post-op

  • Popular Post

Up until this point I have been very happy with my progress. However, at times I feel like i'm losing too much too fast. I have currently hit my goal weight of 165 lbs.(i'm actually 164 lbs.) and before hitting it, I thought of changing it to 145 lbs. I looked at myself in the mirror this morning and didn't recognize the reflection that was looking back at me, because I hadn't taken the time to really really look at myself before today. Anyone else going through this?

    Fantastic work getting to goal. Celebrate big! Your not alone. It takes time for your mind to catch up because your weight loss is so rapid. Some of us have a distorted body image. It may take so

    Oh ugh, this. I am still at an overweight BMI and someone said I look too thin. Ironically it is a woman here at work that is pretty thin herself. Last week two different people asked me what typ

    Glad you posted. It will help prepare others as they get closer to goal. It's strange to experience this for yourself, Right?

I take bariatric melts (vitamins and Calcium citrate). Had to start a zinc supplement, because I was a little deficient. My meals always consist of a Protein (seafood, ground turkey, chicken or beans) and vegetables. I don't eat any bread, rice or regular Pasta (I do zucchini noodles) and absolutely no sweets, caffeine or carbonated drinks. Starting out my exercise was just walking about a mile a day. I still walk, but do low impact strength training and will begin jogging soon. I do still have an occasional Protein Shake after I have finished exercising

which Zinc do you take. Most make me nauseous

When I look in the mirror, I don’t see the weight loss at all. When I see the photos of others on this site, I am floored and find it hard to believe they ever had a weight issue. The only way I can physically tell that I am losing weight is the enormity of my old clothes.
I am going from blouses I never wore because they were too tight to the same blouses I can’t wear because they’re too big.
I have exactly three pairs of pants that fit me but I refuse to buy new clothes until I get closer to my goal weight.
I want to thank all of you who have posted photos. You are all my inspirations.
