Two middle pics are my before pics in 360lb range. The outer pics were taken last week at 220! Feeling great! Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App -
"Well, you're fat anyway!" The key is to have a "go f*ck yourself!" chambered and ready to go at all times.

Physical jobs and time off
pixieredhead replied to Megall9's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am a dog groomer and while I'm sure lots of jobs are more physical than mine i would say is fairly comparable to yours in nature. So lots of standing, picking up, repetitive motions and getting bit. Well maybe not that last one. Haha! I went to work after 2 weeks with a weight restriction. I think it was like 25 to 30 lbs. So if a dog was beyond my weight restriction i would either get help lifting or try to get the dog to jump on my table while lowered. My coworkers were awesome about helping me when i needed it so it wasn't really a problem for me. I do think that it may have been a little better to have stayed off for another week cause i was sure tied the first week or so when returning but maybe it'll also would have made it harder. I guess I'll never know. But good luck with your surgery! -
When i initially saw the subject for this i immediately thought that someone's surgeon was fat. Kinda comparable to a dentist with bad teeth. Haha! But I'm watching an episode through you tube. What a hunky doctor! Thanks for sharing, i had no idea about this show.

pixieredhead replied to Elode's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Even though my husband thinks I looked "really good at 165". WTH?! Umm No! It's hard to not be sensitive about your weight but i bet while he doesn't know exactly what you looked like at 165 i bet what he really means is "damn baby, you've been looking great!" He probably genuinely feels that you're looking good in any recent weight range. -

Scale Obsession
pixieredhead replied to seaux_beautiful_vsg's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I totally agree. I weigh myself once a week and sometimes i even forget to do that. Lol! -
I love this! You take care of your buddy and he takes care of you right back!

You look amazing! Keep up the great work! My biggest victory has been hitting 100lb loss as well and flying on a plane without a seat belt extender!

Goal setting - small attainable goals or one big one?
pixieredhead replied to Madmax68's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
First of all congrats on your weight loss and surpassing your initial goal! love the concept of mini goals. My HW was 362 so my goal right now is to get under 200. While i don't have a specific number in mind for an ultimate goal weight, i really like the idea of losing in five to ten pound increments til i feel like this is the weight i want to be at. Plus there's way more victories to celebrate throughout! I've never been thin so i have nothing to compare my body to, hence there's no particular number i want to settle on. -
DO YOU HAVE ANY LOST LOVED ONES THAT YOU WISH COULD SEE YOUR SUCCESS?
pixieredhead replied to downsizingdiva's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My mom for sure! She passed due to cancer about a year and a half ago. We both struggled with our weight and after she passed i decided that i wanted to live my life to its fullest since she didn't get to. -

Stunning! -
Since surgery my heart rate has been regularly in the 40s sometimes into the 30s. I don't have any dizziness or anything so my cardiologist doesn't seem too worried. Do you have any idea why yours was so low and why it became problematic years later?

Gallbladder problems after VSG
pixieredhead replied to Mcgann320's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I actuality was going to post about this as well. I found out today that i need to get my gallbladder out. I have had no symptoms of having problems but my recent blood work showed that my liver levels were high. So i had to get an ultrasound on the right side of my stomach. ..turns out my gallbladder is full of stones. I know it's not uncommon after wls. I'm just accepting it needs to be done but of course I'm a little worried, mostly cause my heart rate has been low ever since my surgery. Does anyone have advice or what to expect. Thanks and i wish you the best with your surgery as well. -
Can we talk about Halloween candy?
pixieredhead replied to Bndtoslv's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
For me i plan on having a couple pieces but to leave it at that. And we have 2cbags of candy in our house right now that I've hidden from me and my husband. Of course i know where they are cause i "hid" them, but if i don't see them then i forget about them. And we'll be giving out extra candy to get rid of them. -

Hello Fall! Does anyone have any goals, NSV's especially for fall?
pixieredhead replied to Elode's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
1. Last year i tried to get boots and my calves were too big to zip them up. This year I've bought a pair and those bad boys zip right on up. 2.i haven't dressed up for Halloween in so long but this year i am. In the past I've always been shy about dressing up cause it was hard to find a costume in my size. But this year I'm dressing up as pam from the show archer. I've told my friends that, fingers crossed, this will bethe last year I'll be fat enough to be her. Haha -
A delicious burger and chicken wings!
