Guest guest Posted August 25, 2001 Report Share Posted August 25, 2001 Yes it is Judie, now all I have to do is motivate and sign up with a gym so that I can get all this saggy flesh nice and toned. Before I had surgery I always thought oh I will get plastic surgery. But now I am not so sure I want to have surgery of any type ever again if I can help it. I wish there was an excersize machine that excersized your body LOL. Yes I know I am lazy *huggers* Lisbeth Judie Hensel wrote: congrats Lisbeth! Having that energy is wonderful, isnt it?

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2001 Report Share Posted August 25, 2001 But now I am not so sure I want to have surgery of any type ever again if I can help it>>>>>. Lisbeth, I find myself thinking the same thing. Im not too keen on losing more hair with other surgeries but I just might get my panni removed since Dr Welker does that and I trust him to do a good job.....we will see! You have fun buying some new clothes tomorrow! What size are you in now? Wal Mart has some good jeans we can wear that are cheap until we reach our goals.....Old Glory for around 10 bucks a pair.....you might look into that. Their elastic waisted shorts are great too!

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2001 Report Share Posted August 25, 2001 I can totally understand that. I think that once I am further out the memory of surgery will dissapear who knows. Never say never is what I say maybe I will. I am wearing a size 16. I bought a pair of pants that were 14 but only because they had stretch in them. I live in NYC so we only have a K-Mart sometimes I wish I had a wal-mart just so that I could buy the neat stuff you guys are always talking about. Such is life. *hugs* Lisbeth Judie Hensel wrote: But now I am not so sure I want to have surgery of any type ever again if I can help it>>>>>. Lisbeth, I find myself thinking the same thing.

Wow...to think I could be in your position a year from now, Judie...20 lbs from goal...that'd put me around 138 lbs. I haven't weighed that since my senior year in high school!!

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2001 Report Share Posted August 25, 2001 At my highest I was 259, the stress of worrying for surgery I lost 5 pounds On the day of surgery I weighed 254. Had surgery June 25th. Today I hopped on the scale hey it was my 2 month anniversary I now weigh 213. My next big goal is to be under 200 lbs. I havent been under 200 for a long time. What is your goal weight Judie? What are you at now? when did you have surgery?

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2001 Report Share Posted August 25, 2001 that'd put me around 138 lbs. I haven't weighed that since my senior year in high school!!>>> MY goal is 140 even though Id like to get down to 135. I havent weighed either of those since I cant remember when! Must have been around 1977!! You know, Alyssa, time has a way of going fast. Im 9 1/2 months out now and its like a dream. It doesnt even seem as if Ive lost that much....I know I have but it was so fast and without effort that its hard to believe it has happened! I can see it in the mirror though. I like what I see (I do need a tummy tuck though lol) It will go fast for you too. Just you wait!

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2001 Report Share Posted August 25, 2001 You arent too far ahead of me in the weight before surgery dept.....I was 245 on surgery day. Had surgery Nov 15, 2000 and Im 162 right now! My goal is 140 (dr welker says that is very reasonable as we are not to strive for what we weighed in high school after being morbidly obese for so many years) Wow! 41 lbs in 2 months? Thats dang good.....thats 20 1/2 lbs a month! WOW! Hugs, Judie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 25, 2001 Report Share Posted August 25, 2001 Congratulations beth, you're doing wonderfully! My surgery was three days before yours, and our weight loss is pretty much the same (I'm minus 45 lb) It is a trick to get in all the protein every day, I agree. But so far so good. My energy is getting better with every pound lost, but I still could use more. I too need to start exercising. Not my favorite thing, but necessary!

I keep thinking to 2 1/2 months ago and the differance is incredible. I sprint up the stairs. I walk fast. I am no longer out of breath and I have energy. I have a ton of energy. The last few days I have been a bit tired so I am monitoring myself. Am I perfect good god no. I have to up my protein and I have to figure out how to take my iron pills and not get sick to my stomach each time. And I definitely need to drink MORE water. But I am grateful that I am feeling better. Now I just wish I had the money to buy a new wardrobe *sigh* > > Lisbeth > Dr. Macura > June 25, 2001 > Highest 259 > then 254 > today 213 > > > > --------------------------------- > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
