1 year post op w/pictures



Recommended Posts

So today marks one year since my journey started. My HW was 303 and my CW is 201. I went from a size 24 to 14-16. This journey has been very bumpy and emotional for me. I've had some good days, and bad days! I haven't lose any weight in months and it cause me to get stressed out. I started slacking in my exercising, and eating stuff I had no business eating because I'm a emotional eater. I feel hunger all the time now, and I find myself eating way more than I could before. I even gained 9lbs back... Which sucks!!!! I don't have any energy anymore. I've sat down with my nutritionist and she recommended I go back to the basic to get back on track. On a positive note I thank God that I've come this far, and I'm going to get myself together mentally so I can lose this next 50lbs. Here are a few pictures of my journey. post-150750-1410368202141_thumb.jpg post-150750-14103682179608_thumb.jpg post-150750-14103682520763_thumb.jpg post-150750-14103683150982_thumb.jpg post-150750-14103683458429_thumb.jpg post-150750-14103683774988_thumb.jpg

In the beginning it wasn't that bad because I was really motivated. I had my struggles too but after a few weeks it gets easier. The biggest motivation will be when you start noticing your clothes hanging off you. Lol Good luck to you!

You look great! Love the black dresses. I agree with your NUT about going back to basics to help you lose the last 50 lbs. I am also an emotional eater and it doesn't matter what I eat when I get emotional so I keep good foods/snacks in my house to eat during emotional times. chips are my weakness so I don't even bring them into my house. Good luck on your journey.

Happy Surgiversary! Mine was yesterday, so we can Celebrate together and eat some vegetables or something, lol. I also have been stuck at a few weights, so I appreciate how frustrating it can be. I would agree with your nurtitionist that going back to the basics is probably the best bet.

Good luck and try to enjoy today- you made it a year! :)

        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
