12 days out and this is GREAT!



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Just wanted to update any one who is interested. I am 12 days out of surgery today and doing great! I have lost a total of 26 lbs! I lost 11 on the pre-op diet and have lost 15 since my surgery. Still on full liquids I do feel hungry on occasion but nothing like I used to and a Protein drink takes care of it quite well. I go back to the Dr on Tuesday for my 2 week appt. hope he will be as pleased as I am! I am supposed to be getting 60 gr of Protein, 30 gr of carbs, and 2 scoops of this powdered Vitamin supplement , but I am not there yet just getting 48 gr of protein, 18 carbs and 1 scoop of Vitamin powder. I really hope he will let me move on to the vitamin pills at this appt. I've been walking on the treadmill too. I have worked up to 30 min at an easy pace. So I am excited for what the future holds!

Pre-OP appt. 2/7/11 - 254

Surgery 2/22/11 - 243

Today 3/6/11 - 228

Total - 26

them other places. But I think you can order them from www.NewLifeBariatric Supplements.com

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
