vanessalee63@yahoo.com reacted to Butterflyeffect in 6 Months Post SADI Update
The 1st of September was my 6 month surgiversary and what a journey it has been!! I have lost 88 pounds in total, 75 pounds post surgery. Gone from a size 22 (18 US) to a 12/14 (8/10 US), which I have never been as an adult.
I feel amazing, so much more energy and excited about fashion and all the non scale victories.
The only real downside has been some serious Hair loss but it seems to be slightly slowing down now, fingers crossed!!
I have about 20 pounds to go to hit goal, and will then see what that looks like and if I want to lose more.
I hated taking pictures of me before but I included one a friend snuck in a bit before I started my pre-surgery diet.
The after was taken a few days ago.
For those out there wondering if they should have the surgery or not, I have no regrets and only wish I had done it sooner!!

When individuals undergo weight loss, they may undergo ketosis. When you first reach ketosis, the body doesn't really know how to regulate the fats it breaks down. As a result, it makes a lot of waste ketones, which are then released in breath and urine. As time passes, it will become more tuned and the extra ketones will reduce. Until then, make sure to drink plenty of Water to help flush out the waste.
After Weight Loss Surgery, your body is converting your stored fat into the energy that drives your body. Thus you lose weight. But in the process your fat cells are breaking down and being expelled from your body through sweat, urine, stool, and breath. After you transition from weight loss phase into the maintenance phase, this problem should be less noticeable.
