13.1 pounds lost since surgery on June 20, 2014 - YAY !



Recommended Posts

I am so excited! Since my surgery on June 20th, I have lost 13.1 pounds! Incredible. I never thought I would get results like this so quickly. I know it may slow down of course, and sometimes stall along the way, but I am on my way to a healthier, happier, thinner me! Just had to share. NOTE: I was on a 3 day clear liquid diet before the surgery, and even though the hospital scale said 289.1 lbs - some of the 13.1 could also be from the pre-op diet and hadn't shown up yet, if that makes sense? But regardless, wonderful weight loss. I came home from surgery the next day and only showed a few pounds lost. Then all of a sudden, wham!!!!

Queenie - It is SOOO exciting! I totally have not been hungry either, and am experiencing all that you said. Looking forward to tomorrow too and my Protein shakes and yogurt -- yay! I am so with you - I am so happy to have my sleeve too. My face is no longer puffy, and my legs aren't swollen, and I am AMAZED at the results. Let's stay in touch - since we had the surgery at the same time it will be fun to share results. :)

HI Re! I am so sorry it is taking longer for you ... what does your NUT say? But here's the deal -- I bet it picks up. I have heard that some lose slower to begin with and they get faster later, then others go faster in the beginning and slow down. I know there are plateaus.... but if you have hypothyroidism that will totally mess with it. Here's to hoping your doc is on top of it and I really feel for you!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
