2 Months Down Update And Pics



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved 2-15-2012, just over 2 months ago. I have had some ups and downs. Overall though I am doing great. Much better than I was expecting to be doing at this point. I started at 320lbs and now weigh 272..

As of today I have lost 48 lbs since before my pre op diet and 40 inches!!! My blood pressure is normal now when it was super high before. I move around so much easier and I find that I can stand and go for hours when before I had to stop and rest all the time.

I think the hardest thing for me is over coming the mental part. I still can't believe such a small amount of food can feel me up. It feels great that food does not control my life anymore. I would eat until I made myself sick before I had this surgery and I could eat monster amounts of food. Now i just have my few bites and move on. I have energy and I feel fantastic. A few people who know I have had the surgery have noticed I have lost weight but other people haven't noticed too much yet. The most important thing is I notice and I feel good. My clothes are falling off me and I have have dropped from a 30/32 tight to a 22/24 that is loose.

I still have a long way to go I just wanted to share my story so far. I love this site it has helped me so much.

I am looking forward to what the future has in store for me and for all of us.

here is an updated pic before and after..

the before is pretty horrible i just wanted it to be as real as possible

Merydia you are looking great! Congratulations also on your engagement!!! What an exciting time for you! Regarding the weightloss and how it shows or not, I found that early on, even after 35 or 40 pounds, most people could not quite "see it." They would comment I looked good but not necessarily abou the weight. For me, after those first 45 lbs or so, then it started to show, progressively more with each 10 pound loss! Now, I drop a couple of pounds and everyone comments "have you lost weight?!" It cracks me up every time! I think, you didn't notice 50 but you sure notice 2!!!

Anyway, have fun and enjoy all your success. I am sure there is more to come!!!!! :-)

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
