Recommended Posts

My name is Shannon. My gastric by pass was on December 27,2011. I have lost 95 lbs. I have done great until the past two weeks. I have had some issues come up that has put a lot of stress on me. I haven't lost any weight in two weeks and I'm not eating right. I have noticed I have been grabbing whatever to eat. I also haven't been to the gym. I am starting back on Monday going to the gym and I have started eating right today. I am so glad I found this app.

Hi Shannon. Welcome. I'm still pre surg so I haven't had this yet. I'm sure many have had this. We've all had it happen dieting. Just need a jump start and going to gym is one of those ways. So good for you. Support groups are also a big help. Face to face, phone, web, whatever you can do. You'll do fine.

Sending support and strength!

Shannon,

Great that you're here! I'm excited to hear about how you're doing, because I'm nervous about what will happen in the future, when we forget to think about how important our health is. It's what got us into trouble in the first place, right? Never taking the time for us and our need to keep healthy.

Breathe...then make YOU your first priority. If you can, substitute a meal with a Protein Shake or drink. Make sure you're getting all your Protein for fuel, and all of your fluids to flush your body clean! And don't forget your vitamins!

...I will be pulling for you! I had bypass April 30th of this year and am down 45 lbs. Another 90 to go!

      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.

      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!!
