2 Months Post-Op - Pics And Measurements



Recommended Posts

So yesterday was my 2 month post-op Surgiversary!

Overall, I'm feeling pretty great! Down 49 lbs (1 lbs away from my first goal!) and nearly 27% to my goal weight!

My measurements are surprising! I didn't lose that much in inches in the first month (-12.25 inches), but I lost more weight (-21.9 lbs). In my second month, I've lost less weight (-15.3 lbs), but significantly more inches (-21.75 inches)! Not sure what to attribute that to, perhaps the first month was mostly Water weight and less reflected in measurements? In any case, I'll take it!

Here are some pictures of my progress:

I don't see that big a change in these pictures (my body image is messed up....I know). My husband says he sees a dramatic change already (he's so sweet and supportive!). I do see quite a change in my face though, which is nice, as I look at myself in the mirror in the morning (tooth brushing, combing, etc.) and it's a good way to start off the day!).

Yippee!

Yes. Definitely a change! You look GREAT!

Also one thing I've noticed is a consistent theme in the before/after pics is the colors worn. It's really telling....Most of the before pics are in darker clothing and usually our big girl armor of the black Leggings and big shirt. The after pics we usually have on white or a bright color that shows how joyous we are with the changes.

I guess clothes really do make the man and are telling as to how we feel about ourselves. LOL.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
