Operation Skinny - Part 1



Recommended Posts

Ok .. so I am from the east coast.. and all my family is still there. They dont know it, but I am going home for my birthday September 14 to surprise everyone :) Mind you, no one will see me between now and then!

I was sleeved on June 9th - my question is.. how much can I expect to lose (roughly, as I know everyone is different) by then?? I really really want to look different by the time I go back!!!

So .. Sept 14 is my birthday, and my first short term goal :) LETS GET IT!!!!!

I have seen 3 months stats between 26 and 40+ pounds. I was low BMI and I lost 31 pounds by my 3 month surgiversary date. The interesting thing is that you lose the most from the waist up in the first couple of months so you will definitely look different around your face and shoulders.

Good luck!!!

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
