NewShauna 49 Posted September 18, 2017 I am 5 weeks post op and starting to feel really good about myself again. I 24. As a young woman, I always had curves but they were all in the right places but about 10 yrs ago, it became harder and harder to loose weight and the old tricks(including diet pills) became less effective. About 4 yrs ago I was diagnosed with a begin pituitary tumor which caused my body to produce excess amounts of prolactin(hyperolactinemia). Essentially your body thinks your pregnant. Even though the condition became controlled with medicine. Losing weight remained an issue and I slowly creeped up from 185 to 214over 4 years and just couldnt get out of the 200s. Fast forward to today, I'm down 18 pounds post op and starting to notice results. I attended an anniversary party yesterday and was able to wear a medium. I bought the same dress earlier this summer but needed an extra large. And at the dinner and in general I'm able to skip past the rice,pasta and potatoes and make those healthy choices of baked chicken or fish and veggies and salads etc. And its not hard; it has become a way of life for me that I have been able to embrace. So excited about what my new weight lose journey will bring! I know it will take time but I really feel like I can do it Sleeved 8/10/17 HT: 5'2HW: 214 SW: 212 CW: 194 Goal: 155 5 peanut2772, Allsportmom777, Dametris and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ladygg1967 171 Posted September 19, 2017 It's the greatest feeling when you buy a smaller size once again! My daughter likes to go shopping with me-to make sure I get clothes SHE likes-since we're now in the same size for most things!!!Sent from my SM-G935P using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rach84 17 Posted September 19, 2017 You look amazing I'm so jealous Today marks the day of my surgery 4 weeks ago, I have been in a dark place due to things going on in personal life, but mainly due to what I've done to my body and worried I'll never get my life back, I think the hardest part at the moment is I'm so down and I can't have a drink or party as I normally would when things get you down!, and the number one depressant ATM is the fact I haven't lost one single Kilo in 3 weeks! I'm trying my hardest to stick to my eating plans only protein! Around 600 cal a day, I struggle as I can only have certain break times at work, I'm drinking about 1.5 litres of Water a day I can now keep my vitality tablets down! I see people on here losing so much weight what is going on with me?SW-317CW-295GW-154 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
