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!

hi there!

a typical day in my sleeve:

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.

      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... :(
