6 month post op Appt.



Recommended Posts

I had my 6 month check up yesterday with Dr. Bad ASS McDaniel in Victoria,TX....

I am 100 down from my heaviest, and 85 down from day of surgery.

I have gone from a tight size 24 to a comfy size 14 and large top.

All my blood work looked great - tryglicerides went from upper 200's to an 80!!

Blood pressure is awesome -

and he says I am a rockstar!

He feels I should be able to get down into the 170's by my one year appt -

Hard to believe.....

Loving life -

Check out my pics :)

Hi Shannon,

I want to congradulate you on your weight loss. I took a look at your pictures and I must say you look great, what a difference. I am having my surgery March 11th and would like to know how you felt the first two weeks after surgery. I am very interested in the sleeve surgery. I have been going back and forth regarding gastric bypass or the sleeve. What made you decide to go with the sleeve?

Thanks Shannon,

Cheryl

The hardest thing was the liquid diet for two weeks after surgery! Honestly, I would watch the food network 24/7! I wanted to eat!! After that, everything was EASY! I chose the sleeve because it scared me less than having my guts re-arranged....and I KNOW it was the best choice for ME! I can eat anything I want - just smaller portions...and portions were my problem!

The recovery was easy - really, for me anyway.

I am not worried about Vitamin deficiencies and being malnourished.....

I just "reset" my stomach!

I hope you choose what's best for you - and it is awesome you are taking the steps to have a healthier life! Good luck!!

Hi Shannon,

thank you for your response. Right now I am more in step with you. I really do not feel very comfortable with the Bypass surgery for the same reasons that you mentioned. I just feel so worn out from all the dieting have done over the past 12 years with no lasting results. I need a new direction, I am just tired of being tired and fat. Your 1st two weeks sounds like it was a little tough but you made it thru and now I know what to expect for myself. I kinda realize the 1st month is about getting on track and following what the doctor tells me. Thanks again and keep me posted on your progress.

      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!!

      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
