Almost 6 Months Out...



Recommended Posts

Surgery date was Sept 1 2011.. highest weight was 285. Day of surgery I was approx 270... as of today down to 204 (and have been here for the past 3 weeks :/) . Nonetheless proud of my progress so far...

Was wearing women size 20 waist.. now wearing a size 11. My weight is carried in my boobs and stomach. Legs have always been small... body is just catching up LOL.

I will say ive YET to exercise... I really do eat what i want, when I want. However I do recognize im in the critcal part of my post op... the part where I need to do something (eat better, exercise), in order to keep the scale moving... :)

Do you mind if I ask how tall you are? I'm 285 now, and 5'6". Thanks for sharing this, I love seeing someone with a similar start weight show their success. It gives me hope for the future!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
