One-derland Update Post - 178lbs Lost So Far (10 Months Out)



Recommended Posts

CONGRATS to you!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi guys,

Hope you're all doing well. I just thought I'd post some recent photos of myself now I've reached the wonderful one-derland!

I'm currently 198lbs, down from a heaviest of 376lbs. I lost 66lbs with a gastric balloon before getting my sleeve in February 2011 at a weight of 310lbs. I'm so happy with my loss on the sleeve of 112lbs in ten months. :smile1:

I'm down from a US size 32 to a US size 12 (UK size 16). I honestly haven't been this size since I was like 14 years old!

At ten months out, things do sometimes seem to be getting harder. The weight loss is still coming but has slowed and I've contended with being able to eat more and the odd stall, not to mention people telling me I've 'lost enough weight now'. No way. I'm not stopping til I get to my goal of 160lbs and a healthy weight. I'm not going to settle for being kept in the 'fat friend zone' any more!

Have a nice weekend,

Lex

Lex-

Congratulations! We are at similar points in our journey and I can so relate to weightloss slowing down and especially the people saying you've lost enough. It can be so frustrating at times! Hang in there- 160 is waiting for you. smile.png

Best of luck on the last leg!

Amanda

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
