Only 25 Down, But At Least There Are 25 Gone!



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on May 24 of this year. The first two weeks, the weight came off vigorously! I wish I could say the same since then. Fortunately, a measly 25 lbs makes the biggest different already in how I feel physically and mentally. I am steadily losing ounces day by day, so at least I've not gained or completely stalled. Keeping the faith!

These are before and after pics so far! The one in the silver dress is before.

You do look great in both pictures... You are very beautiful, very stylish. I too had surgery on 5/24 and have also lost only 25 pounds and in the same manner... First two weeks were a major drop, a pound here or there for the next week and a half and nothing for a week now. It's a little aggravating because I'm impatient but I'm positive it will get moving again. If I lose slowly like this for the next year I will still be happy. Are you exercising? I started about 2 weeks ago but not intensely. I'm amping it up this week. Just out of curiosity what are your stats? I'm a shorty @ 5'2". Started at 215 and now I'm 190. My starting BMI was 38. I'm not sure if that's what the consider a low BMI'er or not. Good luck to you!

Hi! I believe my BMI was also 38 or 39. I am 5'10 and started at 270. I am at 245 now. I started Zumba three days a week two weeks ago, and I started losing weight a little more quickly.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
