Weekly weigh-in

I lost 3.4 pounds this week, bringing my total to 56.5 pounds since the surgery.  Hooray!  Even better is the fact that I'm in the 200's now.  That is very emotional for me.  I remember the day when I was regaining weight lost after Optifast and I was telling myself that was 300 pounds was my limit in terms of the highest I was willing to go again.  That was my line in the sand.  Sadly, that turned out to not be true at all.  At the beginning of this, I was wearing a size 30/32 and now I'm fitting into 22/24.  Holy smokes, that just blows my mind on so many levels.  Needless to say, I'm glad I chose to have the gastric bypass surgery.  It is a tool ... it doesn't do all the work, I do.  But it has been a beautiful gift to me.  I continue to be frustrated by my tummy that seems to be upset with a lot of different foods, but I'm finding my way.  Hope everyone is doing well!

Congratulations Kathy, that is such wonderful news! I'm so excited for you! When I was talking to my friend who had surgery a few years ago, he did mention that for quite some time, he experienced vomiting, especially when eating out. This situation eventually sorted itself out, but I'm sharing it just for your info. I sure hope that soon you'll be able to feel comfortable eating and enjoy your beautiful weight loss even more!

Hi Christy! Thank you for sharing the conversation you had with your friend. I know that the first few months are a challenge and I may continue to experience problems. I'm staying positive because I know this is a temporary blip. I'm excited for this weight loss.
