Putting a face to a name



Recommended Posts

We are pretty much not too far off. I've lost 32 pounds post surgery. The majority of the weight I've lost was pre-surgery. I guess that's not so bad either, but I just wanted you to know I think you're doing great yourself. :biggrin:

Believe me, I'm not perfect. I do the best I can, but sometimes those little snackies call me! Especially those little weekend snackies and they are the ones that have noooo trouble going right down!! :biggrin: And of course, it's the weekend...

Stay sweet!

:tongue2:Ha! This is good..at least I know I'm not the only one that suffers on the weekends!:biggrin: I write this after I just came back from meeting friends at a BBQ joint..1 rib, 1 salad, and a couple of pieces of fried okra! Couldn't resist the okra!:crying: Weekends it seems like I can't fill that void..even when I eat the same thing I do during the week..maybe too much time on my hands to think about what I'd like to eat!:biggrin: We will get there..we're strong and have been through too much not to!! :biggrin: Take care and enjoy the weekend!:cry_smile:

:w00t:Ok girls and guys! We are all entering our 3rd month and I know Lil Miss has been so aggressive in her program that she had mentioned putting up new pics!:biggrin2: Well I think we all have done so well that we should follow her train of thought and post more updated pics!:smile: I will probably have some made this weekend to post and I think it would be great if we all just took a few minutes to show how well we are doing and that we are conquering our errors and commanding our own destiny's again!!:w00t: I am so overwhelmed by reading how well everyone is doing!! :biggrin2: It is such a delight to go into this forum on most any topic and see such enthusiasm and positive accomplishments and everyone deserves kudos!! :smile:

That is such a great idea Queen. I'm sure I'm still a good few weeks away from reposting, but I just love to see everyone's progress.

Okay, to post pictures do I just need to code it like on MySpace? Or is it html? Or something completely different?

:tt1: Ok Ezma, you'll have to ask one of the computer gurus about that!:hurray: I have no idea how to do it but I know I somehow got my picture in on this thread a while back! Actually I think I just got lucky:wink2:! So all of you that know how to handle these hi-tech puters help Ezma (and me) out!!:Dancing_wub: Here we unite our knowledge again!!:Dancing_wub:

Okay, I know I still have a way to go but I decided to post them anyway. And don't worry, I know you can't really tell. I have a pretty large umbilical hernia that they won't fix until I lose weight and it sticks out so I hate that. That and the boobs have always been a bit prominent. :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
