3 month Surgiversary!!!



Recommended Posts

YAY!!!! Today is exactly 3 months post op for me and things are going GREAT! I lost 20 pounds in the month before surgery and now am a totaly of over 80 POUNDS DOWN! It is unbelievable and I seriously catch myself NOT believing it when I look into the mirror.

Being newly single again (after breaking it off with my Fiance') it feels AMAZING to have cute guys hold open doors for me, to feel the glances when I walk into a room........... and trust me, I am NOT stuck on myself. It just really does amaze me how differently I have been treated ever since about 60 pounds down.

I am no longer afraid of the camera, and when I am out with friends I no longer want to find a table to sit behind to hide me fat a$$.... lol, love it! I am the girl whose foot wiggles all the time when i am sitting down, and the girl who would rather stand that sit when we are at the bar or at karaoke......... Please, don't think I am trying to sound conceited... I still have a LOT of things about my body that I hate and I in no way think that I am the cat's meow.... but damn I feel good!

I smile day in and day out. Little things that used to bother the crap out of me don't seem to matter as much anymore......... Life is good!!!

I will post some new pix as soon as I take some! :)

My name is Wes and I am just a week away from my 3 month anniversary and feel so much better also. I am down 95 pounds total including my 3 week preop diet. I still have about 90 to 100 before my goal, but already a major difference in the way I feel and look. Everytime I see someone I haven't seen since my surgery, It gives me great satisfaction to see their reaction. I will post before and after pics when I get closer to my goal weight. I do go to the gym for about a 45 min workout every morning and it gets easier every day. I was wearing size 52pants and already in 42, my shirts were 4x and now comfortably in 2x. So the moral of this story to anyone contemplating the surgery is it is AWESOME!!! Congrats!!!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
