8 months and 154LBS feeling amazing



Recommended Posts

I can't get over how well things have gone for me.

It shows that if you really commit and dedicate yourself to a new way of life you can achieve anything.

i spent half my life overweight and obese and never could see the end of the tunnel until I found out about health insurance will cover most of my surgery here in Australia.

My highest weight got up to 322 in 2018 and I felt sick looking in the mirror, was so unhealthy and unfit.

i researched everything for months before I found the right surgeon for me and it was so refreshing to find a surgeon who actually cares and I didn't have too many actual prerequisites for surgery really.

my BMI was 43 and I had multiple co-morbidities and now my BMI is 22.7

It was a pretty simple process took about 3 months and starting Weight was at 322lbs; I knew I had 3 months wait so I decided myself to start my diet early and I was able to shed 65lbs before surgery and was 257 surgery day Oct 28th 2019.

and today 8.5 months since I started my diet and 6.5 months post surgery my lowest weight this week was 168lbs 😊

I've pretty much been in maintenance now a few weeks anyway most days weighing in between 168-170 and feel like a brand new man.

i just want everyone to know it is possible to reach your goals as I exceeded all mine.

i barely recognise myself when I look in the mirror.

I've added before and after photos below feel free to comment.

      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! 😞
