Two Months Out!!



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone! I just wanted to put up a quick post about my progress since the sleeve. Today marks 2 months since I went under the knife in Seattle and I can now say that it's quite possibly the best thing that I have ever done for myself. This morning, I jumped on the scale and I weighed 165.4! That means that since my sleeve, I've lost a grand total of 44.6 pounds and my BMI is 30.3.

A few things that have changed for me since the sleeve:

1. Shopping is fun again! I don't have to skulk off to the plus size section and flick through the mumus with an ashamed look on my face.

2. When I notice men looking at me, my mind doesn't flash "stoplookingatmyfatstoplookingatmyfatstoplookingatmyfat!"

3. I can run! It might be only a mile or two, but I CAN DO IT!

4. Last night, I just saw my best friend whom I haven't seen since before the surgery. He picked me up and swung me around laughing saying, "bitties! What happened to you! You look SO amazing!!" He didn't stop talking about it all night long.

I'm not ready to put before and after pics up yet, but I promise that I will eventually. To everyone who's trolling these boards trying to decide if you're ready to have the surgery or not, just take the plunge and do it. You won't regret it.

      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.

      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! 😞
