5 Months And 10 Days Out....down 81 Pounds!



Recommended Posts

Yes I know...I'm a little late on posting...I was out of town on my 5 month surgiversary so I am posting now...I will admit, this has been one heck of a ride..Expecially the first month or two...That was the hardest. But it has all been well worth it..I have a ton of NSV's. I feel SOOO much better and my confidence has sky rocketed. I had the worst self esteem ever prior to surgery and I wouldn't say it is great now but it is a heck of a lot better. I am getting frustrated with the hair loss and can't wait for it to stop. My nutritionist says it is the worst between months 3-6. So I am hoping it will slow down soon as I have lost over half.

I am currently down 81 pounds..I have went from a size 20 in jeans and a 3x shirt to a size 12 in jeans and a size xl shirt...Hoping to lose 19 more pounds...

Justme, I really didnt have any issues, hopefully you wont either. Just keep an open mind and be strong, you can do this. I was terrified but the day I went home I was pleasantly surprised when I felt great. Just make sure to get your Water in and walk as much as you can. Best of luck to you.

The OP and I were sleeved on the same day so I'm just over 5 months also. I didn't have any complications with my surgery, but the first few weeks were a bit of a struggle energy wise for me. Everything took so much out of me. Taking a shower, grocery shopping, cleaning my house, walking around at work. I was SO glad when i started feeling like myself again!

I haven't had any issues with tolerating food. I fall into the "sleeve of steel" category. LOL! I'm down 83 pounds, all post op weight loss. I feel SO much better with this weight off! I still have a way to go, but I feel amazing!

So, for you lovely skinny people who have lost a significant amount of weight, have you experienced times when you were totally off balance and being blown away by the wind? Or off balance just plain walking? I find myself eperiencing this at times also and it does scare me, I start thinking, WTH? LOL This is a really weird NSV!! LOL :)

LOL! I'm in NO WAY skinny! I have over 100 left to lose. But I do find myself looking at my reflection when I'm out and thinking, " look at you, girl"! :-)

      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.
