6'4? did you lose 100lbs?



Recommended Posts

Sorry I misread your question. I thought you asked about pre op diets. Every surgeon has their own set of guidelines. I would still suggest that you speak with a NUT that is affiliated with the surgeon to see what they recommend.

I had surgery December 23. I am still on a liquid diet util January 15.

I'm 6'6". A weight of 180 lbs would be too low for someone your height, in my opinion.

At my peak in August 1999, I was 362, and at my low (August 2013), I was 209. I felt 209 was really too low for me. I had been stabilized at about 215 for 3-4 months, but stopped jogging because of the cold. I'm up to 220, which is giving me panic attacks (kidding, sort of), but even this level is generating nice comments from people.

I was referring to long term post op diet. Beyond liquid and soft food diets. Also I was interested in everyone experiences regarding us taller and larger guys in respects to exercise methods. like what works best & when to do exercising. With us being over 6ft and 390 plus, we tend to loose weight faster than most others in this lifestyle. I want to loose the weight, but do it in a healthy manor and have a routine that is safe. I hope that makes sense. LOL

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
