Down 90lbs in 17 weeks.. The roads still a tad bumpy..

I can't believe how fast 17 weeks have come & gone. The first 3 months flew by. The last 5 weeks- not so much. I started throwing up a lot around the start of week 13 & I still have yet to get it under complete control. Even with all of the nausea & vomiting that I've been experiencing I would still elect to have this procedure done over & over again if given the choice. My surgeons run every test imaginable & my sleeve looks perfect he's said. Thank God for zofran!!! As long as I take a zofran every morning I'm fine & I won't throw up for that entire day but the soonest I go without taking one I get sick as a dog & throw up stomach bile. Sorry- not to pleasant to think about or hear about- I know..
Overall I feel great, I'm still tired a lot of the time but as long as I'm not puking than I'm a very HAPPY camper. I never thought that I'd be down almost 100 lbs. in 5 months. The other day I was carrying a 20lb baby in his car seat up some stairs & I thought to myself "Just a few weeks ago I had 4 babies of fat on my body." Gross!!! I'm so glad the extra baggage is gone. I can move & breath easier now. I see a light at the end of the tunnel that I didn't see before & I am so grateful.

Best Wishes to all,

Hilary

So sorry you're still getting sick!  I hope that eases up for you soon!  Wow, what an incredible amount of weight you have lost already....you are doing fabulous!

Congrats! That's fantastic!

It's amazing how things come into perspective (e.g. carrying 5 babies less on our body) My sister-in-law saw me for the first time since I started dieting over the weekend and when she asked how much I lost, I said 130 lbs... it dawned on me at that moment that I'm pretty sure she weighs around 110-115.... and I've lost more than my entire sister-in-law... yikes! It's crazy, isn't it?

130 lbs. is phenomenal Nikke. You should be so happy. Your sis in law is very petite if she only weighs 110-115. It's very crazy Nikke but crazy in a good way.

Way to go!

Congrats on your awesome success!  I'm so sorry that you are so sick.  I hope it resolves itself soon :(  My toddler weighs about 23lbs, so I like to think of my weight loss in terms of how many of her I've lost.  Or my 50lb dog or my 95lb mother in law :)

That is amazing!  Congrats!  I hope the nausea & vomiting are just a phase!  Keep up the good work! 

 

You are doing amazing!  Keep it up.

Congrats on your loss! I'm sorry you are still throwing up though.

Hilary, you are doing awesome.  I am so proud of you!!!  I wish you didnt get as sick as you do though.  Take care my friend!
