76 lbs lost, 4 months out...and ONEDERLAND!



Recommended Posts

I'm so excited. Last week, I hit ONEderland! I'm now 197.8 lbs! This is a big milestone for me... It's the halfway point. I'm actually a little more than halfway now... ONEderland! and I'm not morbidly obese anymore...I'm just obese! So I'm really excited. Here's a pic.

Before, I weighed 274 lbs. Today, I weigh 197.8. I am 5 ft. tall.

We all lose at a different rate. I'm at 3 weeks and 21 lbs down. I'm sure you aren't doing anything wrong it is just the rate your body wants to drop its weight.

Thanks everybody! I am definitely enjoying the process!

I'm just trying to follow my doctor's advice... but others are right. Everybody loses at their own rate and we shouldn't compare ourselves to each other. I'm losing kind of fast, but I had a lot to lose to begin with. I had 150 pounds of excess weight to lose. People with more to lose seem to lose faster at first. But if you look at percentages, it really evens out to about the same for most people. At 4 weeks, I had lost a total of 30 pounds... and 20 of that was post-op.. so I don't think you are losing slow at all!

I think my sleeve is on the small side. I can't eat more than about an ounce at a time. Sometimes a little bit more now but not much. So, I don't get a lot of calories but I do try to get around 60 grams of Protein. I'm keeping my carbs under 20 if I can. I exercise every day...or try to. This week, I have only gotten it in about 3 times because we have been so busy.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
