6 months post op :)



Recommended Posts

Hi, I am 5'9 and six months post OP, and feeling fabulous. My highest weight was 313lbs, I now weigh in at 217 my goal was a hundred pounds in 6 months but i surely am not complaining of the few I am short. I'm extremely excited to see what the next 6 months has instore for me. I have 47lbs to go and would like to achieve my goal over the next six months. I still have 2 Protein shakes a day, one with just Water and the other I use almond milk, PB2, and a banana, our fruit and spinach. One of my favorite are pineapple and coconut with my Protein powder. I also consume one small meal usually that of meat and veggies. I take in two Snacks throughout the day, usually either cottage cheese, or string cheese. No yogurt for me :( I eat alot of Jello, I make it with cottage cheese and cool whip, this is a great treat for me. My family has been amazing support :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
