Finally under 300 pounds!



Recommended Posts

Today I hit 299. I have not been under 300 in 5 years. And that time was because I lost weight for a trip to Hawaii. I came home and gained it all back. For the first time in my life, I know I will never be over 300 again because I'm not doing it because of some silly goal like a trip, a reunion, family holiday. I'm finally doing it for the right reasons. Almost 3 weeks post op and I have not regretted my decision for even one second.

Great! I can't wait until I do the same. I haven't been that low since I was in college at VA Tech over 20 years ago. As I type this 17 lbs to go to 299.

34lbs to go for me! I can't wait to get below 300 and know that this time, it'll be the last time.

I started this journey at 380.5, lost 38 during pre-op and am down 9 since surgery last Tuesday.

I was a little disappointed after seeing some other folks having lost 10-15 in their first week but then I look at how far I came so quickly already. Almost 50lbs in just over 11 weeks and one of those weeks were post-op. That's a big accomplishment! No more comparing myself to others!

Awesome weight loss. And it will not come back. That is the huge difference. Yes it is a different lifestyle than some. But for me it works. Hope it does continue for you. Keep posting. People care!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
