Hello! Newbie 14 Months Post-op!



Recommended Posts

Just wanted to say hello! I am 14 months post-op and new to this forum. After being overweight most of my adult life, I decided to have weight loss surgery. It was the best decision ever! On the day of surgery, I weighed 258 pounds. I currently weigh 138 pounds, which is 2 pounds below my final goal weight! I feel happy and healthy where I'm at, and I am trying to maintain my weight. I am pretty disciplined about eating properly and going to the gym, but have been struggling lately with slacking and snacking! Planning on doing a 5 day pouch test to help get back on track! Looking forward to sharing our successes and struggles! Glad to be here! :)

Welcome!!!!! Sounds like you have done a really awesome job! I started at 255 and I'm right around 192 now 12 weeks out. It's exciting to hear someone that started out at a similar weight losing so much. I bet you feel like a new person. I already feel totally different and I'm just beginning. Congratulations to you!

I found the information on 5daypouchtest.com, under "plan" and have done this 4 times since I was sleeved. I feel like it helps me to get past my carb cravings when I have been snacking too often, and I personally think it helps shrink your pouch/ stomach and limit capacity once again. It also helps with stalls. The first two days is Liquid Protein, shakes, broth, etc. The third day is soft Protein, eggs, fish. Fourth day is firm protein, ground turkey, ground chicken, shrimp, lobster. The fifth day is solid protein, steak chicken, etc.... Hope this helps! :)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
