18 lbs down and so excited!!!



Recommended Posts

I was banded last Tuesday May 31st. I started my pre - op diet on May 17th, and lost 12 lbs, and I weight myself this morning and lost another 6 lbs in the week since I've had surgery, for a total of 18 lbs in 3 weeks!

I know I wont lose this much every week, but I am so excited! After 3 weeks I already have clothes that are getting to big! Wow...

I never thought I would have the strength to survive the liquid pre-op diet or the surgery for that matter, but I did it, and every day I am feeling better and I just cant wait until I finish healing and can start working out more and eating a bit more normal.

This is one of the hardest things I will probably ever do, but so rewarding already!

That's awesome! I was just banded today! :) They weighed me and I was down 10 lbs from my 2 week preop diet. The next couple of weeks I hope to see the scale continue to move down!

hi there.. this is my first time on the site, and scrolling thru I came across you're post. Mostly caught my attention as I'm 17lbs down and then discovered we had surgery the same day! :) I would love to hear and share your experiences thus far and along the way. Let me know, as I'm trying to stay optimistic, but fear it's not gonna work out as well as I'd hoped. Like you, I am also anxious to really start walking/exercising more and eat real food..this "diet" is quite boring :) . Hope to talk soon, take care.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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...
