6 month check up



Recommended Posts

Hello

So I had my 6 month check up with my doctor and have learned that I lost 76% of my excess body fat . I have lost a total of 100 lbs and need 35 more to go . I am noticing that I'm not losing as much weight per week as I have in the past and feeling more of an appetite . I have made changes to my diet , like eating more nuts and fruits and less meats but still am not dropping the pounds like in the past . Any suggestions anyone ?

I lost 76% of my excess body fat .

miko

losing all that body fat, weight!!!! :)

thats "huge" :lol:

you started 135 lbs overweight - so the initial weight loss went a little quicker - or put it the obvious other way, since you don't have that much to lose now - things are slowing up a bit

sure, i tell tell you to up your Protein, or lower your calories, or maybe even raise your calories - get plenty of excercise - drink more Water

but..........you know all this!!!!

you've been so successful :)

you will continue to do great

keep up the good work :)

congrats

I don't have any suggestions as I just ended my 3rd week post op (and Im on a big fat stall) but I wanted to say WOW! 76% is so awesome! Congratulations!

Miko, WOW! 100lbs!?? That's awesome - very inspiring for someone like me, for sure :)

Advice, yeah... Give yourself a nice big ol' pat on the back and don't sweat the last 35lbs. They'll come off when it's their time. Focus on how amazing you must feel and look forward to a summer filled with many more fun things to do than in the past.

Great job, buddy!

Thanks everyone . It hasn't been easy but yes it's been well worth it . I just hope these last stubborn pounds come off soon as I'm stuck and haven't lost a pound for 2 weeks now .

My doc told me to go back to my preop diet for 3 days when I started noticing hunger 2 years out. He was right. That's all it took. I noticed my original restriction all over again. Worked like a charm.

      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... :(
