Recommended Posts

So I started my journey in January at 388lbs, then on my surgery date June 10th was at 346lbs, then this Monday I hit 299lbs !!!!!!!!!, on Wednesday I went to the gym and broke my recent PB, I arm curled 80lbs x 3 reps on the Cross Pulley Rack( my old PB 15 years ago was 90lbs x3 reps) so I will hit my goal of 80lbs on the arm curl bar by December, and tomorrow we are going to the beach before school starts on Monday, they let me off work this morning since it was slow, I went to Walmart and got some shorts and a T-shirt at a size 48-50, that is now 11 waist sizes down from 60-61w, and I think my first stall is over, s o much to be grateful and happy for but little time to think about it since I am busy setting new milestones all the time now, I feel as if I'm working off perpetual motion now, u feel good then hit a milestone and I want to keep going................

It's been alot harder than any of my diets in the past, but because I wanted it, and now have the tools and knowledge it is very rewarding and it makes you want to do more and more, and it does get easier, I'm even having this tattooed on my back right shoulder next year as a reminder, it may not mean as much to some people but it has very deep meaning for me And made me tear up when I first saw it post-254362-14402021665836_thumb.jpg

      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.
