klingie84 91 Posted July 20, 2017 Yesssss that is definitely me. Still wearing size 16. I was so worried about rapid weight loss but that's not the case even though I am happy that within 4 weeks I am down 19 pounds. I guess for me I am ready to be happy about the surgery because thus far I am not. I am struggling so hard emotionally and mentally about the surgery now. Seems everything is hard for me. I don't have energy however. That's a big issue for me. I'm always tired and have no energy or motivation to do anything but hopefully all this turn around. Rny may 23 n I'm down 30 pounds but I still see the 273 girl on may 1. (I was 265 day of surgery) everyone else has commented on it but I don't see it except some tops r looser n baggier. As an RN I'm exhausted at end of 12 hrs so not a lot of exercise for me but I do resistance bands everyday. I'll have to try pics too n see if I can notice. 1 PAstudent reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arringtonc49 188 Posted July 21, 2017 I could not see the weight come off as much when I lost 23 lbs but other people did.I am 4 months post op and lost 65 lbs so far. I really see it. I exercise at gym at least 4 times a week. I do Water aerobics as well. I had knee replacement in one knee 2 yrs before surgery and needed knee surgery in other knee for meniscus and arthritis. My knees feel so great now that the weight is coming off. I don't need surgery. I walk like a new person.I had the sleeve Done March 10 2017. So things will get better. Enjoy the journey to a new you!.Sent from my D6708 using BariatricPal mobile app 3 Missy161, ssbthodge and Nikki76 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spowell 14 Posted July 21, 2017 I take a monthly picture or when I go to the Dr. I can't always see a difference but my husband and friends can. I am down 67 lbs since June 2016. I had the sleeve on Dec 5th. Keep up the good work! Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app 1 Missy161 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nomorefattypatty 329 Posted July 21, 2017 CONGRATULATIONS and tell him to stop that!!! You don't look like a Booble Head. I'm ready to be where you are so I can see it. This journey has been a hard 1 thus far but it's only 4 weeks old so I guess I have to develop some patience. This is me nowWe'll tell him you no longer look like a bobble head and he better be careful because if you still look like a bobble head to him he needs glasses you look beautiful now. Great job! This is not an immediate cure, we didn't gain it overnight and it can't be lost overnight. We have to really get active and work hard to lose it's not an instant weight loss!

AndrewAZ 43 Posted July 21, 2017 I had RNY April 19th and have lost 108lbs and while I know I have lost weight I still don't see it. I agree that after being overweight for so long and being so used to seeing myself that way I don't know when my brain will catch up to my loss but it will at some point..... I have one pic pre surgery and will take one at a year out and then another at goalSent from my SM-G930V using BariatricPal mobile app 1 Missy161 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't hold out a year without pics lol. I am hoping to get about 65 more pounds off and then i will be at my goal weight. How much more do you want to loose within a year? I pray it works out and im happy for your progress 1 Missy161 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
