-18Lbs A Week And 1/2 Out. 1St Pre Op



Recommended Posts

Today was my 1st pre op appointment. Fully dressed with shoes on and a new full head of Indian Remy weave.... I am down 18lbs. The doctor was not impressed as much as I was. He said sure I'm more like -20lbs but he could care less right now with my initial weight reduction. They took my weight, measurements, a few comparison labs, and vitals. He checked my balance, skin, incisions, pain level, mobility,mental health, and over all health. He was pleased with my Water, Fluid and Protein intake. I haven't lost really any of the muscle tone I had going into surgery. He encouraged me to step up to full liquids and mushy foods and begin exercising (not excessively...just walk faster and longer thank my usual 15 to 20 minutes a few times a day) to retain my lean muscles and to gradually step me up to pre surgery work outs. He said I was doing great and looked great. I won't go back for another month but his overall thing is nutrition...staying up on Vitamins, eating well and proportion, exercise. I dig that and all...but I was still geeked with my weight loss. I don't see where it came from but I'm glad its gone....FOREVER!!! There is no room in the inn for it to come back and live! I am thanking God in advance for continued healing, good health, and success!!! I feel great and I am sooooooo excited for the time ahead. I wish you all the best of all things good. Stay encouraged and lifted. Mwaaaahz!!!

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

      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! 😞
