Eight weekers! How are you feeling?



Recommended Posts

I had surgery Nov. 22nd. I feel great! I'm down 48 lbs and loving it. It's great to hear everyone else is doing well too. I did hit a three week stall not too long after surgery and that was frustrating. However, I do understand the weight WILL come off. I find so much support on this website so this is where I come for learning and understanding. Good job everybody! I look forward to the updates!

You're worth it!

Hi there. I don't get my sleeve until March but wanted to say congrats on ur loss. Ur doing great

Thanks! I had a tough time in the beginning and often wondered if I was going to regret it... However, as I healed, got my energy back and then started getting along better with food, my whole feeling changed. I feel good about my weight loss yet am still working on getting enough Protein. You may not find it easy, but you will find its worth it...

My husband and I are both over 8 weeks out and could not be happier. Over 40 lbs. down each. I used to envy a man I admired for saying I eat to live, I don't live to eat. I swear I can now say that and mean it. I don't have that screaming pain my my stomach anymore that says feed me! Good job everyone. I wish I could have had the sleeve 10 years ago, not at 66. But thankful still.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
