10 Months Post-Op



Recommended Posts

While being in the "losing phase" of having WLS can seem like it's taking forever, I am constantly amazed at how quickly time has gone by for me since having surgery.

Do I still have good restriction? YES. When I am eating dense Protein I really only eat 3-4oz. I can sometimes squeeze in about 5 ounces but that is pretty rare. Plus, as I've always stated, I would rather underfill my sleeve that be overfull.

I was one of the lucky ones who lost all hunger and this so far has not yet returned in the past 10 months. I eat more by the clock than by any type of internal signal that I'm hungry. While it is counter-productive to do so, I feel like I could go all day and eat nothing...of course I don't...so I tend to eat about every 3 or so hours.

I'm down -78lbs (since surgery) and have lost -52 inches all over my body.

So, on to the fun stuff...it is absoutely amazing what a year can do when at some point in that year you have WLS. Truly. These two photos were taken both in late August the photo on the left being Aug. 2010 and the right being Aug. 2011!!! I cannot stress enough to newbies how important it is to take photos and measurements!

      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.
