8 weeks out post op



Recommended Posts

Today I am 8 weeks post op and I have lost 71 lbs total, 20 during two week liquid phase pre op and 51 during the 8 weeks after surgery. Best decision of my life. Was heading for double knee replacements and could not walk 50 feet because of severe pain. I was ready to quit work but now I am walking 2 to 3 miles a day, Still have pain in knees but getting better. Feel fantastic overall. I read alot of the negative issues people are having but wanted to share my story.

That's awesome congrats!!! I'm 8 weeks out also and I've lost 72lbs. I feel it on my clothes, I see it but not as much as I'd like. I'm really happy though I'm at 203lbs right now. I'm going to yell when I get to to 199 lol. How much are you eating now? I feel that I'm able to eat more now. I had shrimp cocktail for lunch (I know not the best choice) I was able to eat like 8 shrimps. I'm paranoid about stretching my sleeve. So I'm curious if I'm over eating of course I don't eat no where near where I did pre op. I don't eat past 30min. Keep up the great work =)

      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! 😞
