I'll be glad when I can........



Recommended Posts

Now that we are in or around our 8 month of banding I felt the need to come back to this thread. SO

I'll be glad when I can...

*Celebrate 100lbs lost

*hit 260 so I can go make-up shopping (my reward)

*lose 10 more pounds so I can fit a skirt i just bought

*feel comfy on my next plane ride to NYC

*see the look on my in-laws faces when they see the change LOL

hopefully by then (Sept) i will be closer to 200 than 300. the last time they saw me i was in the 290's.

now that we have lost a few pounds im sure our lists have changed a little. so from my previous list i CAN:

*walk longer than 30 mins without my legs hurting

*just go shopping for smaller clothes period

*run around with my 4 y/o for longer than 5 mins

I will be glad when...

1) I am in ONDERLAND.

2) I can wear sleeveless tops.

3) I can be comfortable wearing a bathing suit in public.

4) I can complete a 5K walk/run.

5) I can wear clothing that doesnt have to be bought in a plus size store.

6) I can ride ANY ride at Kings Island or Cedar Point.

7) I can cross my legs while sitting at a table.

8) I don't have to stand so I don't have to risk breaking a chair.

9) I control my food instead of vice versa.

10) I can look in a mirror and like what I see.

- tie my own shoes without gasping for air adnahving to take a break between shoes

- wear cute clothes

- not have the joint pain I have

- and know that Im not going to be the "fat" grandma that cant play with her grandkids (when I get them)

- and most importantly for me... feel good about who I am on the inside as well as the outside

      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! 😞
