FEBRUARY SLEEVERS 2013....how you doing after you've been Sleeved



Recommended Posts

Wow! How did you lose the weight so fast?

I lost 19 on pre op in two weeks ..I believe it was all beer belly lol. I look at my surgery as a gift from my fiance since he emptied out his savings for me to have since he knew how unhappy I was. He worked hard for that money so I want to work hard to thank him. I go to the gym every morning at 4:30am...then walk at work on breaks and lunch and sometimes after dinner. I get in my protein..take my Vitamins etc like I am supposed to. Working out and doing weights really made a huge difference in my body. I also do the couch to 5k app...love it. Once I started that the weight started dropping off....I never thought I would actually enjoy running but I do lol. I am so thankful that the surgery didn't give me low energy like I thought it would..but I also quit smoking and daily happy hour etc in January so that probably helps! I have family and friends who did the surgery and didn't work out so it was slower...I highly recommend making sure you do. It only takes a couple of weeks dragging yourself there for your body start wanting to go...good luck! You can do this!

My appointment went well. He said I was slightly under the expected weight loss for 4 months, but I am not quite 4 months yet. The exercise guy didn't even recognize me, he walked right by me not realizing who I was :) I need to get moving now that I was ok'd by the cardiologist. There is a gym moving very close to my house, can't wait for them to open!

Have you lost 52 since your surgery (apx 4 months) or was some pre-op? I think you are doing great--congrats!

My WL is about the same as yours at 4 months (and pre-op), but I have more to lose. My surgeon never says if my loss is average or not, just that I'm doing great. He actually has never even given me a WL goal, but I want to set one eventually. Right now I am just looking at it incrementally as related to specific BMIs, etc.

I feel like any weight loss is beneficial!

      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

      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... :(
