* 7 LBS AWAY FROM HEALTHY BMI *



Recommended Posts

WOW I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW FAR I'VE COME.

I started my diet journey 5 months ago today.

at my heaviest in the surgeons office I weighed in at 322lbs.

I was admitted to hospital for surgery 256lbs

now I'm 3 months post op and feeling great.

JUST hit 190lbs this morning and also realised I'm just 7lbs away from the top end of a healthy BMI.

I'm doing so well I might even get down to 180lbs yet and that feels amazing.

I've been doing a lot of fasting and that has really helped.

I've also got my new rowing machine and started using it tonight; it is hard work that's for sure 😀

officially lost 132lbs now 😄

I still say RNY BYPASS was the best choice I've ever made and to anyone else looking at bypass don't stress too much I've not had one issue or complication so far!!

THANKS.

MIKE.

Fantastic! I'm really interested in hearing more about the fasting you've been doing, if you don't mind. My weight loss has been average to slow and wonder if fasting might help speed it up, though I feel great and am content with my progress. Congratulations!

Well it's kind of like the 8:16

I consume all my calories over a 6-8hr window then fast for the remaining 16hrs with using just sugar free items or a little coffee here and there :) of course there are variations of fasting out there you can research!

thx

Yeah I'm nearly done with weight loss but I'll still need to spend months at the gym to gain some muscle tone and maybe tone my stomach area :)

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        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!!
