1 1/2 years out... any questions

[SkinnyOnMe 81]

I felt like I was super informed going into the surgery. I just knew this surgery would be the tool I needed to change my life! My life is a lot different now in many good ways since the weight loss. I am married with 1 child and in my late 20's. My heaviest was 272. I lost naturally and went to 230. Then a had a baby and was 244 a year later on the day of surgery. Today I weigh 160 in a size 6. I'm 5'6". My lowest was 155 but only for about 2 weeks. Big boobs and butt... are gone sadly. Lol.

Does anyone have any questions? I'm an open book and here to help.

I just ask someone else this, now I'm going to ask you. What do you appreciate most about your new weigh vs your old weight.

I kept up with the stages for the first maybe 3 weeks. My nut wasn't too strict. I basically ate soft foods at 4 weeks. But eating wasn't enjoyable for me for about 3 months. Stick with the stages as much as u can to avoid the pain of stretching.

The thing I appreciate most is the energy and ability to get up and go.

Honestly, I lost 90% of my weight in the first 6 months. I don't consider my current weight a stall. I am healthy and happy with my current weight. I know any pound that follows will be with strict diet and exercise. I eat a very bountiful, high Protein homemade salad everyday with minimal dressing for lunch. I try new recipes at night that aim to be 400 cals or less. I use tortillas a lot now... for everything from homemade pizza's to bea n burritos. My capacity is more than I expected. I can eat as much as the average skinny girl.

Congratulations on your weight loss. Did you keep track of your month to month loss if so what were you averages per month.

I am 7 months out and have only lost about 55lbs. I work out every day, cardio 7 days and strength 3-4 days. I eat okay except for my recent love affair with ice cream.

I do notice the inches melting away.

I am 4 months out and have lost 56 lbs. very happy with my weight loss so far. But I have been in a stall for a couple of weeks. I am so afraid this is all I am gonna lose. Did u have stalls that lasted this long? What did u do to break them? I have tried everything. I know u just gotta wait it out.

I am at month 2.5 and it has been far too easy ( I know heresy) sure it took hard work and focus and retraining, but compared to the work i used to put into simply maintaining my high weight this is nothing. So my question is whether it gets harder? not so much to lose weight as I am nearly at goal now but to maintain the weight loss. particularly when the novelty wears off.

thanks

I can eat a whole sandwich, 1 quesidilla, large salads, but if its something dense like steak- 4oz and nothing on the side. When I'm a bad girl I can eat a small plate of Pasta, like chicken alfredo.

At the beginning I felt ostracized when I went to dinner with people, now I can sit comfortably. I can eat normal small portions and enjoy most of an entire meal.... one course. The biggest problem is grazing. I have realized that I could probably eat half a pie of pizza in 3 hours so I have to make sure I don't even bring things like that in the house!
