4 Months Post Op Pics



Recommended Posts

So I totally hate taking my monthly progress pics. I don't know why. You would think I would look forward to it. I think I just worry that I won't see any progress and sabotage myself. Anyway..... I took some tonight. I've been wearing the same clothes each time, but I had to wear a different shirt this time because the original one hung off me.

SO..... 77.4 pounds later, 55 more to go, here I am at 4 months post op.

Great job...What Did u eat or What are u eating?

Click on your name at the top of the screen, go to "my profile" and select "tickers" from the tabs on the left. You can do a weight one, a count down or up from surgery, a bmi one, etc.

Great job! Congratulations on your noticeable weight loss. I'm only 6.5 weeks out; hope I do as well as you. Good for you

Q: HOW do I get that 'Body Weight Ticker' thing on my posts? Thanks in advance to any reply.

You guys are awesome and such an encouragement!!! I just took these pics after being in a 3 week stall and was feeling pretty discouraged, so you all are a huge pick-me-up! Thankfully the scale started moving again and I entered ONERDERLAND today. Woohooo!!!!

Anyway, to answer your questions...... I use myfitnesspal.com to track EVERY SINGLE THING I eat or drink. It helps me learn what works and what doesn't. I keep it simple really. I stick to my Protein goals (65-75g per day), Water goals (at least 8 8-oz glasses), and keep my carbs 30 or under, and low sugars/fats. As far as exercise, I really am only doing cardio for the time. I'm training for a 5K in April, so that has been my focus.

You look great!

What stands out for me (and most peoples before/after pics) is the eyes.

The eyes appear bigger as the face gets smaller.

They also shine extra bright with happiness.

Good job girl! I'm two weeks from today! Super excited.

Thank you! You are right, I am much happier. It strikes me, looking back, how sad I looked in my pre op pics.

Thank you! I've noticed that too about the eyes. It's really interesting.

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
