Question for those that are six months post surgery



Recommended Posts

What is the most weight you've lost in one month and what do you think you did differently? I'm just curious - always trying to try something new or change routine/food/exercise.

Thanks

I've consistently lost at the same rate since banding---and consistently done the same things. I do bump up my exercise as my body becomes accustomed to what I'm doing---I use my body bugg to gauge whether a workout is still doing the trick for me.

I have consistently lost 2 lbs per week until very recently - I'm 32 post band and I've lost 65 lbs. Now I won't lose for one or two weeks or even be up a pound and then lose 4 lbs........So, I'm thinking it's because I've gotten down to my last 30-35 lbs to lose and I will now have to work even harder. I know I don't need a fill - I'm still pretty restricted. I just beleive that I need to make better choices with food and bump up my exercise.

I'm in the middle of what I think will be my biggest losing month since being banded about 7 months ago. I was/am a low BMI user to begin with but this month I have lost 11 pounds in 3 weeks and thinking I'll end up at 15 or so for the month. Two things have helped with this. I got a fill that finally gave me restriction but as important as that and maybe more is I have started running. Not walking fast but running. I can't go long distance so I sprint from one light pole on my street to the next then I walk to the next light pole, then sprint again. Wow, what a difference it is making. It's fun also.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
