The 200s are in my sights!



Recommended Posts

So to give some background, at my heaviest in 2007 I was at 423 pounds. When I started by WLS journey I was at 383. I had my three month post op appointment on Tuesday and weighed in at 312 pounds. My surgeon said I did great considering I survived the holidays and lost 16 pounds. Now I have a milestone in my sights, leaving the 300s and breaking into the 200s. I think the last time I was under 300 pounds was probably in my mid-20's when I spent a small fortune on a personal trainer and went from 330 to 245. I appreciate any words of wisdom, advice or encouragement in taking down this first big milestone.

Well, wanted to update and let you guys know that I finally hit the milestone.

Under 300!

Weighed in at 298.9 lbs this morning. Considering that at my heaviest I was over 400, being able to say I am under 300 feels great! Thanks for all the support.

      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.
