9 mo. post-op (pic)



Recommended Posts

So... This week made 9 months post op VSG-- LOVE my little sleeve (Mikey). Getting enough Protein but slacking a little on the Water intake (which I'm paying for this week w/ heart palpitations). I'm exercising most days a week, which I'm really enjoying.

I've been getting random complements from strangers-- that's cool. And I love walking in heels all day long. Lol.

I still don't (and won't) eat any breads, Pasta, rice, or potatoes. I've only lost 1 lb in the past month-- but as long as the scale is moving downward, I'm happy.

Oh, and I ate crawfish for the first time since surgery-- yum. I managed to get through King Cake season w/o giving in & I'm finding Lent a little easier on the diet. lol

New goals:

- increase Water intake from 40 oz to 60 oz

- lose 2 lbs by the 1st week of May (my next follow up appointment)

- save $$ for plastic surgery

:)

Wow! You look amazing :)

And, you've got lots of lovely long thick hair still.habe you had any problems with Hair loss or not?

Yes, I've lost ALOT of hair. It's very thin on the sides. I wear it down as much as possible bc I feel it helps. It starting to grow back (has been for the last couple months). I'm REALLY excited about that.

I find seafood is the easiest to eat- shrimp, crab, fish, crawfish. Lobster tends to feel a little "heavy" in the sleeve, but I can eat NEARLY a whole tail (with nothing else).

      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! 😞
