1 year surgiversary! (a little late :))



Recommended Posts

December 10 was my 1 year anniversary and I am down a total of 102lbs!

I started this journey at 332lbs and today am 230lbs (5'8"). I was in 26/28, I assume 3XL tops.

Today I am in size 16 jeans and large or xl tops depending on where I go.

This has not been an easy journey and I have fought for every pound. I was pregnant in july and we lost it in september and I have not lost a pound since! I am working so hard to get it going again but it just hasnt happened yet. I know I am not done losing yet! Hoping to get to my goal by May of 165! If i could just get below 230 I think I could do it!

Hope everyone has a great christmas!

hey girlfriend

remember me??? hope so ;)

so good to see you now, even though i'm seeing "less and less" of you ;)

102 lbs gone - you are aces!!! :rolleyes:

I don't "think" this is always a smooth ride for others either (not me)

but we stay strong - work hard - and you/me/all will succeed

you have done so well, and i know you will continue to do so :)

I can only imagine how difficult a time you went/still going through with your miscarriage - very sorry for your loss

great pics cutie :rolleyes:

i know i will continue to see "less and less" of you in this wonderful new year :) :( ;)

You look awesome, congrats on your weight loss and keeping it off for all those months. That is success in itself. I'm so not the expert in trying to get the weight loss started again but maybe a trip to your DR will give some insight. I'm thinking the NUTS can give some advice. Are you working out/exercising? Maybe that would do the trick??? Wishing you a jump start in 2014 to get where you want to be :))))

thank you! i'm getting there! i can honestly say when i was pregnant i stopped working out bc i was nervous. then everything happened and then i started working out again mid to late october. i then threw my low back out in november and am in PT and seeing a chiro. i walk every day on my lunch for 25 minutes and then on fri, sat sun go to the gym and do cardio. however i just started doing cardio again this past week because i was on hiadus with my back. per chiro i started again. i did go see a NUT on the 6th of december. she seems perplexed about me because she could tell i was being honest about what i was eating which is following the plan. but she seems to think i am getting too many fat calories. so my goal for the next month is to track in mfp (which i am awful at) and then go back and see her january 10th. we are then going to review mfp log and see where she thinks i am going wrong.

i'll be honest and say once a week i do have something i am not supposed too. but so far this week i have cut that out.

hopefully getting back to the gym last week and tracking will get me going again. i do see my surgeon soon and will be talking with them about this as well :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
