6 MONTHS POSTOP WITH PIC! (X POSTED)



Recommended Posts

Today marks 6 months postop. It has not been easy mentally or physically but I'm doing it slow but sure!

When I met my surgeon 8/29/12: 332

When liquid diet started 11/25/12: 315

Day of surgery: 300

Today: 241.9

Im officially down 90lbs total!

Thank you all for your support over these last 8-9 months. I wouldn't have been able to do this without this group or my other online groups. You guys understand what we go through as supportive as my family and friends are and want to be. They still don't get it. Thank you again!

630am Protein shake

930am cheese stick

1130am lunch - today was 3oz cooked cod loin with 3 stalks of asparagus

2pm greek yogurt - i eat the yoplait greeks, i think they are 5oz or so

6pm dinner - toinght will be turkey w/bacon meatloaf and some veggies

i havent done the pouch test but i would say with dense Protein and some veggies my sleeve holds about 6oz. if i eat slider foods i can definetly eat more than that.

That sounds pretty good, nice normal lunch & dinner. Not that Protein shakes are abnormal or anything. I love Cod, I could eat Cod & Broccoli every day.

Thanks for sharing. You are doing awesome.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
