Recommended Posts

80 lbs all post op?

I lost just less than 15lbs the week prior to surgery due to preop diet but the remaining 65 post-op most of it in the first 6 weeks and around 10-15 a month after and it continues at that rate for the most part :) but I also do a lot of muscle building/toning with it :) I went from a sz 22 going into the hospital and I'm in a sz 11 right now with 2 more days being 4 months and down almost 90lbs now :)

I eat 600 calories a day or less with half of my calories coming from my starbucks for Breakfast. I work out constantly' date=' daily, either hiking walking or the gym and I meet with a personal trainer 2-3 times a week. I am very dedicated to my lifestyle! I lost most of my wt in the first 6 weeks and have been steady between 10 and 15 lbs a month since. I will be 4 months in a couple days and almost at 90lbs loss and will post more pics then :) and thank you very much :)[/quote']

Are you able to get in all your Protein that way?

Are you able to get in all your Protein that way?

I don't. I stopped my Protein dreams after the first month. Protein actually makes me really sick now for some reason, weak nauseated and vomiting usually with anything over 20gms per serving. I take in around 30gms protein a day but we keep close track for any muscle wasting and so far I do continue to build muscle instead of lose it but my hair has taken the majority of the damage and is only about a fourth as thick as it was...

You look great!!! How are you doing with lose skin?

Unfortunately I have a lot on my abdomen :( but I have minimal elsewhere due to my extensive training :) slight amount on my inner thighs and none on my face or arms! I will have to go for a Tummy Tuck eventually but my surgeon suggested waiting 18 months which seems like forever. I also decreased 2 cup sizes in my bra so there is obviously modifications that may need to be made there as well but overall I am very happy with the loose skin only being in covered areas :)

You look great. I guess I am reverse I need to get my Protein in or I feel like yuck. I have been going to the gym 2-3 times a week and that has helped with the skin issue mine is also in the front

Wow, that is the opposite of me since Protein makes me feel sick. Yeah, I don't think there's going to be much we can do exercise wise for that abd fold :( wish there was but definitely glad that it's just skin now vs the fat :)

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
