6 months post op need motivation



Recommended Posts

Happy Wednesday my fellow sleevers!! So I am 6 months post op as of 10/10 and down 92 lbs!!! I am so happy with my results and I am in completely bliss with my sleeve!! Anyhow! So please hear me out, lately I have been feeling so unmotivated to work out. I am still watching what I eat, but have noticed I can eat more. This scares me, I put myself on a liquid diet to try and "shrink" my pouch and kind of reset. This helped, I lost 5 lbs in 2 days and I was ecstatic, but now I'm back to my regular diet and I gained a pound. I'm not worried over the pound I know i will loose it, my concern is how easy it was to gain it and how slow my weight loss has been now. I still have about 100 lbs to loose to be at my goal weight, and at this point this seems almost impossible. If you all could share some words of encouragement, tips, rants anything! Lol I would appreciate it. Thank you all!!!

Hello I am 5 months out and can eat 10 to 12 oz at a time. Yes this is scary for me, but I stick with the plan Protein and Water first very low carbs. My weight is coming off slow 80 pounds so far and 80 to go. It seems like I will never get to gaol, when find myself thinking that way I take time to look back at what I have done so far and it helps. Remember new way of living life style change you and your sleeve will win!! Just stick to the rules. If working out is not working for you pick up a active hobby anything as long as you are not seating on you rear. Good luck, and it sounds like you have done very well so far!! ROCK YOUR SLEEVE!!!!!!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
