75#'s gone forever



Recommended Posts

I wanted to share this awesome news with all my month mates! I posted these pics elsewhere but wanted to share them here for you all. The changes have been amazing and I can't say I've made any better decision ever besides to marry my husband. This is awfully comparable though.

15 pounds will give me a 5 pound buffer between me and overweight. I think I will be happy there. I'm happy with my size right now. If I were to stop here I would be okay with it. Not happy but okay. I want to be "healthy" weight though. That means a lot to me. I want to say I'm healthy. I want to go to the doc and have them not say "You could use to lose a few pounds."

25 will be the most I lose. I couldn't lose more than that and feel good about myself. At least that's what I say now. I still want to have a bit of my chest left....and it's going left and right.

But thanks for the complements. I do appreciate them.

Here are the instructions on how I do pictures.

I open my picture using any editing program and crop it to whatever size I want it. If it is a high resolution pic I then have to "shrink" it by resizing it to a size that will post here. It has to be under 1 mb to post here. Don't resize it too small though because it's easy to go down and hard to go back up.

Once it is the size I want it I save it to my desktop so it is easy to find. I open a new message or reply, not a quick reply, and use the paper clip to attach each one. Sometimes I have to do a little more fiddling because I have made them too big still.

I don't use an online program to post my pics to. I just upload from my computer. Once they are uploaded I can do whatever I want with MY pics on MY machine. If they are on photobucket or something then if you move them the link doesn't work any longer.

I hope that makes sense. I also like the thumbnails because I don't have to shrink them a really tiny size.

      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!!

      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... :(
