One month after surgery



Recommended Posts

I'm so happy !!!! Well, the whole process isn't easy but...its possible for everyone!

I had my surgery on 9/18, I was alone in the hospital for 3 days, but I was ok! I think I have a good and decent recovery, I learned, and still do it, a lot in this forum, a lot....

Now, after almost 2 weeks stall, I continue losing pounds, slow...but I continue my journey, and my new life. No depresion, no anxiety and I really feel positive in my new healthy life! No more Metformin!

I lost 19 pounds, maybe not too much as others, but I feel so good !

Any other stats for one month?

HW 199

SW 176

Today 157

Remember your surgery weight is lower than most who post on the wls board.. So you should not expect your body to lose as fast as others. Sometimes slow and sure wins the race. One good suggestion...only weigh at dr office or once a month.

Woo hoo! Bye bye metformin! Fantastic. I have Type I DM, so no cure for me, but I can't wait to see my AICs after surgery. Congratulations!

I was a band to sleeve revision on 9/20 so today is 4 weeks exactly for me. I was 174 the Monday before, 169 day of surgery and 157 today so just 12 lbs from goal. Iv had a very easy recovery Except the post op diet has been a killer !! What are you eating ??

Congrats! So happy that you're feeling good!

Today is one month out for me too! I'm down a total of 35lbs... 17 lbs on the pre-op liquid diet and 18 lbs since surgery. Next week I go for my 1 month check up. I'm hoping to get cleared to start working out. Ready to get more weight gone! :)

I have been completely off Metformin and injected insulin since two days before surgery. I'll get re-evaluated at 6 months to see if I need to be on anything. My numbers during the day have been very good and are still coming down. It's very exciting!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
