7 months and 90lbs down



Recommended Posts

So I thought I'd share my thoughts now that I'm 7 months out. Firstly 7 months goes fast! Like too fast!

I'm fine no complications to share, though my mum who had surgery 3 weeks after me. She ended up getting clots and is now on warfarin. But I believe that's more to do with surgery in general not specifically wls.

I think I've been bad, I don't think I've ever got in the recommended amount of Protein or liquids. But I try. I know I'm almost always dehydrated which doesn't feel too great.

I don't have any restrictions on anything I can't eat but of course 5 bites and I'm full.

I haven't been that active on here but if any one has any questions, I'm always happy to help!

The pics are from before surgery the day after surgery and some random ones over the past 7 months. With the most recent that was take 2 says ago whilst getting ready for the work Xmas do :)

You look wonderful! I was wondering. Clots and a leak are two things I fear. How'd your mom become aware of having clots?

Hey Melissa,

Thank you!

Mum wasn't feeling too great and she wasn't able to drink very much of anything. Which I'm sure sounds like a hard thing to pick out when everyone struggles but I guess in comparison to me she just didn't look/feel too good. I tok her to see our doc who don't a ct scan and blood tests. This picked up the clots and At the beginning she we on injections but now just warfarin tablets with weekly blood tests to check the INR levels.

I will say though, she is 135lbs, 49 years old and even with that complication I don't think she regrets anything. She's pretty much at her goal weight now.

I hope that helped x

It did thank you so much. It's wonderful that you two get to share this journey together. Bless you both

Thanks Melissa.

It is nice having mum with me but boy is she funny! She's definitely the bossier one and making sure I'm drinking. I would say once a fortnight I feel bad from being dehydrated. And today happens to be one of those days. So I got the telling off, I guess that's why she's the mum haha

I'll actually post her pics too :)

      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.
