A Year Already....My Story (w/Pictures)
Noname22 replied to reree6898's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Wow, you look great! Truly inspirational! You have rocked it this past year, congratulations! -
I do not want to adult today, i just want to go back to my comfortable bed. The only thing that could make today better is if TWD came back on tonight. I'm ready to see who got to meet Lucille! Can it be October yet? lol
-
I had my first taste of guacamole today, pretty sure my tastebuds had a orgasm.
-
@@erics300 Thank you so much! You are so right about the scale. Props to you! You have done awesome, I wish I had done this three years ago!
-
Have you posted your before and after pic? Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App @@erics300 I am still a work in progress, no after but I do have a during. It needs to be updated though, these are a few months old. I can take a selfie all day long, but not so much full body shots lol. Where are yours?
-
@@BigViffer .....Show off! You can show off at anytime you would like though, you earned it! Yes that kind of beast! A muscled up arm is a weakness of mine
-
lol, I don't know about all that. I prefer the term Silver Fox! Is that right? What about Silver Beast?

Which blender should I get?

I love my "THAT" kind too! -
I stepped onto the scales this morning and finally reached the milestone that I was begining to think would never come-ONEDERLAND! Do I have loose, saggy skin? You bet! But I would take that any day of the week over fat filled skin. There is a surgery to help correct that just like there was a surgery to help me get to where I am today. To finally see that number makes me feel even more determined to reach my goal and to maintain that for the rest of my life. So very grateful for my sleeve! Happy Monday everyone:)

@BigViffer you are so right about that! Now to lose the last thirty or so pounds and start living at goal. The biggest challenge will be maintaining.

What was the longest stall you had?
Noname22 replied to asmallerme2016's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am in my current longest stall. Going on 7.5 weeks now, I will be 8 months post op 9/7. I am trying to amp up my workout and also change things up a bit to once and for all kick it's as$ until the next one lol. -
I believe I will treat myself to a nice hot bubble bath, it's been a long day.

@Valentina How exciting to have skin surgery! I hope everything turned out well and you are happy with the results. Yes the long hot bath definitely does wonders for the soul. I felt much better afterwards and slept like a baby! I hope you continue to heal and Thursday will be here before you know it.
@proudgrammy hubby will not do a bath but he will do showers and those are nice too;)

@AudreyDarling I have PCOS too, and I know all too well how hard it is to lose weight. I feel like all I had to do was look at carbs and I would gain ten pounds easily. No joke. I am 7 months out from VSG and I have lost 97 pounds since surgery and 108 pounds since I started my journey. As long as you stick to your surgeon and NUT's plan you will be successful! Work out as much as you can when you are allowed to do so. This tool works, as long as you use it correctly. Good Luck to you!
-
I have been stalled for 6 weeks now, and I'm starting to get impatient. It's hard to embrace the stall when onderland is so close! The last 34 pounds are going to be the hardest. If anyone has any suggestions, I will gladly take them:)
-
I've been stalled a bit, too.
I don't believe in embracing stalls. So sick of seeing that term thrown around like, "Here, here Dear....sorry you are stalling,....have some warm cookies and a glass of chocolate milk and embrace the stall". I'm sure it's not intended like that....but it's how it hits me at times.
As soon as the knees give me a break the cardio will be revisited hardcore. I'm certain this will git'r'dun.
There is no doubt about it.....these last pounds are coming off much slower than I thought they would, too. My one year runs out in 7 weeks and i've gotta ways to go. Gotta hammer down.
I wish I had better advice.....I'm rowing the same boat it would seem.
-
@Dub I have a hard time with that phrase too. I don't believe in sugar coating things, put forth the work and you will be rewarded. I feel as though I put forth the work, I guess that's why I have a hard time with the stall. Maybe it's time to shake things up and try something new.
Can't believe you are at approaching the one year mark already! Time has definitely flew by. Hang in there, keep rowing, your determination and grit will see you through.
Now, lets get busy and go kick these last few pounds arse!

You look great, love the dress! -

"KMA0910
@Dub I bought their banana flavor too, just haven't tried it yet. I remember being pre op and read a post of yours that you liked that brand....it was probably the only brand that I hadn't tried. So thanks to you I am a premier girl lol. Peaches and cream could be their next great flavor. You should suggest that!"
You've been Premier girl long before that........
Jus sayin'............

@Djmohr I still haven't tried the banana flavor, but to me the caramel is just right. I did mix it with coffee though.

I had a proud moment early this morning at the gym...staying on the elliptical for an hour! It was an awesome feeling that I won't forget, hope to do it again tomorrow!
-
-
Thank you @oldbriannomore it most definitely is!
-
-
Six months post op today. It's hard to believe what all has been accomplished not just weight wise but also the change that cant be seen on the inside. I can say for the first time in a really long time, I love myself. I only wish I had done this years ago.
-
Thank you @BigViffer that means alot.
-
-
Thanks @Dub there has definitely been a change. I'm not the same person I was three months ago and sure as heck am not the same person I was 6 months ago.

Walking on the beach last year at 312 vs this year at 204 has been a huge eye opener to me. Walking in the sand doesn't bother me a bit, and I'm able to keep up with my little boy! Forever grateful

New favorite song is "I'll be the Moon" by Dierks Bentley I don't wanna be a liar I don't wanna be a fool I don't wanna be a secret but I will if you want me to You can leave me in the dark if that's all I get from you He can be the sun I'll be the moon
-
Thanks for your help as usual @@BigViffer tomorrow morning I will start with the weights first. Maybe if I do end up looking ignorant one of the nice beefcakes will help me out
-
@BigViffer--First I know I am not a guy but, I just wanted to share my thoughts. You were going to get them either way I say helpful, if you do decide to do the videos please share them. When I go to the gym, I always hop on the elliptical (by the way I cannot say that word out loud only in my head...I'm a weirdo) first. I'm still a little self conscious going to the gym so I wait until the beefcakes get out of there before I mess around with the weights. I mostly do leg presses and the ab machine. I do want to start working more on my arms and core though, but I am afraid of looking like an as$. So if you do decide to do them, don't forget to share the love
-
Much needed gym therapy on this early Monday morning. No excuses today!

@TheOdysseyOfAStoutMan I did have a nice weekend, played with my little fella. It's nice to be able to be an active mom and not just a sideline mom. Fun times were had. I hope you had a nice weekend as well!
@Dub you are going to turn into coffee one day. Venti Dub!

... go on... Mmmmmmmmmmmm........Nope, I will not divulge that information on a public forum. lol Nice try though.
-
Yes, most definitely. Personally, before surgery it wasn't low, but since surgery it's extremely high. No one is complaining either

I have one tattoo on the top of my foot. It is a purple ribbon with my nephew's name in cursive. I will be adding my niece's name to it soon. They both have Cystic Fibrosis, it's my way of honoring them and to keep in focus that all life is precious. I want more, three more to be exact.
