It's been 82 days since Surgery, Wow How My Life Has Changed!

A year ago almost to the day, my weight was 401.50, I remember the helpless feeling I had when I stood on the scale last year.

Getting this surgery was so difficult and after being cancelled 2 weeks out, then rescheduled again 3 months later, but only to be aborted on the operating table after all the incisions were made, I never thought I would recover from it mentally.

It's the most depressed I've ever been in my life and just thinking about what I went through to get here nearly bring tears to my eyes.

Finally they tried the third time to do it and when I woke up in recovery on Feb 3rd, the doctor was smiling as he stood over my bed and he said "we did it!"

The morning of my surgery I weighed in at 362, which was better than I was only a month earlier at 377.

In the last 82 days I've lost 69 pounds, but I've been working out 6 days a week on average and being very careful.

I stalled for a long time at around 315, I didnt think I would ever break the 300 barrier but when I stood on the scale today, this is what I saw:

Awesome, sounds like you are heading in the right direction. I think the six month stall ha**** me in my seven month mark , frustrating but know it will start moving again. Don't know why it had to happen at my exciting time, hitting 199.9 it is like the damn scale knows. I have read others that had the same issues and found it funny but guess it is not so funny now that it is happening to me. I seen 199.8 and moved and picked up my camera for the scale to bounce back to 200.0. I only got on the scale again on Monday and was 201 but spent three days in the hospital with my child and ate lots of beef jerky. Depressing, but will get there if the scale decides to stop being hateful lol.

Jackie,

You need to get yourself a lighter camera, LOL

:~)

LOL it is ok, it was the day my daughter was injuried so I didn't have time to get on the scale after that until the morning after we got home from the hospital. I still have time to get that dang picture again but refuse to keep getting on the scale like that again lol I was checking every morning when I thought it was going to hit, 200.8 next morning 200.6 next morning 200.0 I was going crazy, I seen the numbers the next morning and to see I was only losing .2 daily I figured a stall was coming on and it just might be what happened.

 So fredking awesome!!!!

 Way to go you are doing a great job!

Thanks ladies :)

Hey, can someone explain to me how to change my thingy at the botom to show my current weight? Ive bveen trying to do it but get very stressed out because I have the patience of...well I cant think of the right word, but I dont have any patience, lol

Also, how do I post a photo so it shows up?

Thanks

Body Tracker, change your weight to what it is, wait a few seconds for it to flash "saved" in the bottom right corner.  then you got your new weight on your ticker.  tadaaaaaa.  you might have to hit F5 to reload  your page if its still showing your old weight.

 You are amazing! What a story! And what a great ending - although it isn't over yet. You are on a journey like nothing else in your life. Stay strong and motivated - you are doing so well.

If by thingy - you mean the widget where it shows pounds lost - to to Tools, body trcker, and then update your weight. That should take care of it. Sorry, can't help with the photos.

 

AWESOME!  Keep up the great work!
