12 days out! 24 lbs down!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!

For those who don't know me, I got sleeved on April 28 at Florida Medical Center @ Ft. Lauderdale. My doctor never made me do a pre-op diet. On the day of surgery, I was on my highest weight which was 253.. My height is 5'7.. 12 days out and I have already lost 24 lb.. My weight this morning was 229!

First two days were pretty hardcore, my abdominal area hurt a lot more than I thought it would. I felt very bloated. I started walking about three hours after I got out of surgery. I barely could take deep breathes or cough because my left side hurt too much. Third day, no pain at all.. maybe a little around the incisions. Now I'm feeling great!

I have been following my post-op diet very strictly though. Getting my 64 oz of Water down, consuming 70-80 grams of Protein (I use Isopure, which is carb free). I am trying to avoid carbs as much as possible. At most, I am probably consuming about 10 grams of carbs per day.

On the first 8 days I was walking around two miles everyday.. Lately I've been feeling a bit weak,, but besides that I am feeling AWESOME! Clothes isn't tight anymore:001_cool:

I already know that this is the best decision I have made.. I regret not having it done before.

Feel free to ask anything and thanks for reading!

My husband was sleeved on April 21 and he has lost 28lbs. already. Men tend to loss weight faster than women (I think), and he has not followed his diet like he should...what I mean is he doesn't eat or drink cream of wheat, milk, soy milk, smoothies, etc....The only thing he would drink is Isopure (mango peach), Water and broth...he loves it. He sucks on Rice Crispies all day. He skipped mushie foods all together and went straight to soft foods. He has his check up on Monday, May 10th and the doctor told him to stay on soft foods 3 weeks. I am working hard to get my weight off and its just falling off him, the best part is we are doing it together. I am 3 months out and have lost 36 lbs.....I know he is going to catch up with me real soon.

Good luck to you victorbeatles, you are doing great!!!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
