71 Pounds Lost (Pics) In Less Than 3 Months!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, and wow I did not know verticalsleevetalk turned into bariatricpal! I haven't been online in ages because I've been so busy in "real life" with work and school. I was always in denial, and still am, about my weight loss. I always put on clothes and ran off without even looking in the mirror so I rely on pictures to remind myself of what I used to look like. I am still wearing clothes that I did at my heaviest but instead of being so tight my skin looks red when I take them off - they are much looser and I can pull them off without unzipping LOL.
Here is my first progress - 71 pounds lost since August 15th. I took this second photo a week ago -

Is it stomach or incision? I had incision pain for about 2 and a half weeks and mild "stomach" pain. You are still early out so your body is trying to adjust but if you feel like something is wrong I would call a doctor. It's better to be safe than sorry.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
