What losing weight means to me...



Recommended Posts

I can walk through an amusment park with my kids without running out of breath.

I can shop in the "misses" section and not have to search for the "women's" section, usually in the back corners of the stores.

I can learn to eat to live and not live to eat.

My list can go on and on but I'l stop at three.

It means being appreciated AND respected for what you say because people aren't too preoccupied by how you look.....

1) It means I won't have to take my blood pressure medicine anymore.

2) It means my back will hurt less.

3) It means I will be able to run again.

4) It means I will be able to shop in the misses section for the first time in 10 years.

5) It means that I won't feel like the fattest person in the room.

6) It means I will be able to coach my kids' soccer team.

7) It means I will feel sexy again.

8) It means people won't think I'm lazy just because of my weight.

Okay...I think that is more than you were looking for but I feel they are all equally important.

      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.

      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! 😞
