I had surgery two weeks ago today (well technically yesterday but I'm a nightowl).

I can't believe how tiny and good my incisions look. I was always a slow healer but I never took care of myself and I think 4 weeks of Vitamins have helped.

When I started my pre-surgery diet 4 weeks ago I was 266.5 lbs. When I had surgery 2 weeks ago I was 257.5 lbs and today I was 245 lbs.

So I lost 21.5 lbs in 4 weeks, 12.5 lbs in the 2 weeks post surgery.

Funny I feel like this is going so slow but when I step back and figure it out I think I am doing pretty durn great! My best friend says my face is thinner, my DH says my tummy is smaller. I really don't think they can see a difference yet but I still appreciate the thoughts!

My only complaint is I am still so darned tired! If I lose weight and I'm still so lethargic and tired all the time I am gonna be pissed! Then I will know something else is wrong with me.

I always get all my Protein in but have not yet been able to drink anything near to 64 oz of Water or even liquid. Without trying to my calories seem to be alternate between 350 & 650.

So there I am, Rebecca age 54, 245 lbs and very excited about this new way of life.

Also I was excited that today I was exactly 100 lbs to my goal weight! So any day now I can say I have less than 100 lbs to lose!

Fantastic! I'm four days post-op now and was amazed to see myself 16 pounds lighter on the scale this morning from when I started my 10-day pre-op diet. We're gonna rock this weight loss in no time!

Amazing results so far Rebecca! And tired is normal!!! It slowly got better for me, by 6wks I felt like I had the energy of a kid! Which is good cause I need it to keep up with very active 2yr old! It will be amazing the energy you will have, give it time! I'm 3.5mos out and 60lbs down, ski for some people's standards but great for me.

Keep up the good work!

I'm so grateful someone posted about this. I went to the grocery store yesterday and By the time i got everything unloaded and put away at home I felt like I had run a marathon. I was exhausted. (I am 11 days out). Thank you for the hope for the future!!!

      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.
