A November Nymph is 50lbs lighter!



Recommended Posts

Hey Everyone!

I just wanted to share that I hit a big milestone today. I have lost exactly 50lbs. I am so elated, I cannot even explain. I know that things will slow down and I am expecting it. I am not sure what I am doing but I can say that I must have some restriction because I feel satisfied after I eat and I am not really hungry between meals. I eat between 1000 and 1200 calories per day and try to ensure that my Protein intake is between 50-70 grams.

I haven't hit "Bandster Hell" yet and am waiting for it to come any day but until then I will be happy with my results.

Thanks for letting my shine for a few minutes.

Yeah Hollie,

I know how you feel... so excited... I am so happy for you.

I have decided to make Wednesday my "weigh day" I don't own a scale so I just run over to my bariatric center about 5 miles away at lunch on wednesday's and today was my 2 week post-op mark. I am down a total of 40 Lbs. today! I love the way this thing is working! I get my first fill on jan 9th. I can't wait to see what happens after I get some restriction!!!

Will be praying for all you fellow Nymphs!

Craig

Hey my fellow football enemy! You are doing fantastic. How do you feel? What can you do now that you couldn't do before? These are things to measure more than weight. One thing that I have noticed is that I don't sweat anymore when I lead worship at church. Let me tell you, that is accomplishment.

Keep up the good work!

God's Blessings.

Yeah, I poke around in all your threads just to let you know that the BOYZ are the BEST! they Will beat your pattys!!!

Anyway... WOW I am noticing that I don't sweat as much either. I just assumed it was because it is butt-freezing-cold here right now! Just kidding. I don't sweat as much just sitting at my desk either. Before I lost weight, my back always stayed damp with sweat. YUK. I noticed just this morning that I can sit on the coffee table and put my shoes on (that is where I always had to put them on before) without contorting myself into a morbidly obese pretzel just to get them tied! My eyes were not about to be projected from their sockets an impale the walls either! On a bit of a down note... My wedding band and big-'ol-honkin' college ring is about to just fall off my fingers. I am now below the weight I graduated college at! that was 5 years ago!!!

I suppose I will have to get them re sized once I get to my goal weight. Maybe I can wrap some duct tape or bailing wire around the bottoms of them to take up space--- redneck jewelry making!!! yeah baby!

Glad to hear that your weight is coming off too! Lets keep each other motivated!

GO BOYZ!!!

Cagstorm, you need to switch to the team that will win it all.

Funny you should mention rings and shoes. My rings are getting smaller and I can tie my shoes without contorting either.

I got a watch for my 40th birthday from my Aunt in October. It did not fit. I am now able to wear this watch. That is a big accomplishment.

Also, why does God make us lose weight from our face down. Darn it I want my stomach to disapper but no the turkey neck is the first to go.

Did I mention that I love my Band!

      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
