July 2013 - Post Op Thread



Recommended Posts

Congrats! That's awesome! I'm down 88lbs and trying to hit a 100 by 1/3/14. I was getting hungry about three weeks ago. Had the stomach growling and everything. So I bumped my Protein up to 90-100g a day and that stops it from happening. I can't always hit that much but when i do I don't get the tummy growling thing!

Thanks I'm going to try that.

Updating... Surgery was July 10th. Started this journey at 236 lbs. Surgery weight was 210 lbs, 5 months post op weighing in at 161.6 lbs. That's a 75 lb weight loss total. 65 lbs since surgery. My stomach doesn't match the rest of my body, all the remaining weight I need to lose is in my gut :( I'm 5'3", with a large hanging belly. :(

Well I figure it's time for an update. When I started my Weight loss Journey I was 511 pounds I am now right around 345 pounds, after my WL surgery (July 16 th) I had to have emergency back surgery (Aug 6 th ) which set me back a little and I just had to have my gallbladder out this past Thursday yes 3 surgeries in 5 months but I'm a total of right around 164 pounds for total weight loss and I'm very proud of that. I still have about 60 more pounds before I hit my goal but I feel i'll get there in no time. Everyday for me is still a learning opportunity, I feel like I can now eat anything there are obviously things I stay away from like high fats, high sugars, and high carbs. I haven't had the opportunity to enjoy the new me just yet because of all the surgeries but I'm hoping this last one was the charm and I can really start to enjoy this new life. There have been many ups and downs but I wouldn't change it for the world. I'm down. 3 shirt sizes and 6 pants sizes. I'm glad to hear from you all and hear all your great progress!

Ok so I thought I had lost only 60 pounds . I got on the scale today and I'm down a total of 75 pounds! It's amazing what happens when you learn to stay off the scale.

I only weigh and measure myself on the 2nd of each month (anniversary date of surgery). It helps to keep me from being discouraged and heightens the anticipation and excitement when I read the results.

So sorry about the pain. I had problems with my gallbladder when I was pregnant and know firsthand how painful it is. I haven't had mine removed but my bypass surgeon prescribed Actiga I have to take it twice a day for one year. Did your surgeon prescribe you anything.

My sister had bypass nine years ago and her surgeon removed her gallbladder at the same time he did her bypass n

      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.
