I'm only 3 months out, but down 80 lbs...down well past my 1/2 way mark. I'm 38, and where I notice the loose skin mostly is my lower stomach----but honestly I have had a fat roll there since I was a kid and have had 3 kiddos....so I guess that is expected. I see a little under my arm, and a little on my legs....but my stomach is the only place that really bugs me now.

Non-scale victories
Steph Anie replied to RoadToMe's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My husband not recognizing me from behind....and then the exact same thing happened with my boss! She walked into my classroom and walked right back out without speaking to me and when I asked her she admitted that she didn't recognize me! -
When I look in the mirror.....I still see the same person I saw 83lbs ago....I can tell the difference in pictures...but not in the mirror. Is that normal?

It really does take a while for your brain to catch up with your body. For me, it is the clothes that help me realize it. I have kept some of my jeans from when I weighed 310 lbs and every once in a while I try them on. I am down 142lbs and can literally fit all of me into 1 leg of my old pants. My grown sons were shocked because they say they never realized how heavy I actually was until I showed them. Now they get it!

Djmohr, I started cleaning out my closet.... I still had to try on every 3x....even though I know they don't fit.... I had to keep convincing myself. My hubby was telling me today that he never realized that I had gained that much either--that he still saw me the same as the day that we met. I think I'll keep him!

I teach...have taught for a ton of years and normally have a great immune system. I had surgery mid- November and now in January I feel like my immune system is just run down--I had strep 2 weeks ago with a viral infection and now I'm feeling sick again with the same type symptoms. Anyone know if surgery can knock your immune system down? Thanks

Anybody from Atlanta, Georgia

I am from Gwinnett area...used Dr. Del Mazo....several of us on here did. I am very happy with my treatment, results, and experience. -
I had gotten my sleep under control pre-op...but post op my sleep has been horrible...even when I'm tired I can't sleep-- I think that adds to my long days...plus on bad eating days it impacts my energy. I have upped my protien intake to try to help with that. I am 2.5 months out.... 76lbs down

Mine goes up and down within 2 lbs...I doubt you ate enough to gain 2 lbs at this point -

Have you tried adding Biotin to your daily meds? -

I have found the more protein I get in the more I can exercise...so it is tough--I still drink most of my protein. -
The thing is...you do have to eat healthy, workout, etc.....this is not the easy way out....it is still a lot of work to maintain this lifestyle. I have worked my a** off for every pound I have lost in the last 6 months...I don't see why everyone thinks this is the easy way to do it, b/c it certainly is not.

I think I have issues....since surgery I am obsessed with the cooking channel/food network and the show my 600lb life.

Making Lists! - Things you wished you had in the hospital or at home after surgery!
Steph Anie replied to Jenkins's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I loved having my own pjs to walk around in at the hospital...also bought some comfy slipper boot things that I used to walk around in. Chapstick was a biggie for me--i forgot it :-( I bought extra pillows for at home was glad I did.....didn't need my gas x strips.I wish early on I had kept track of my weight in a journal and taken more pics before/during the process. -
So thankful to be living life again....74lbs ago I wouldn't have been going on weekend adventures to play in the snow with my kiddos and climbing trails covered in snow. I love life!
