Newby - 2 weeks out



Recommended Posts

I had my sleeve two weeks ago today and I am feeling great. Just started to look around online today and found these forums, lots of interesting topics and I am amazed at how different everyone's stories are. My story started Dec 1 with cutting out carbs and sugar, then 3 weeks out started the clear liquid diet. Doing ok, but I can't wait for some food to chew. I am now 2 weeks out from surgery, still doing Clear Liquids and have another 2 weeks before I move onto puréed food. I cannot wait for a creamy soup! To date I am down 46 lbs ???? I was down 31.5 before surgery, put on 7 lbs during surgery and have since lost another 14.5 lbs in the two weeks following surgery. I am excited for this journey. I have been feeling good, hungry, tired but luckily not too much pain or nausea but today my right hand side, the incision by the belly button that they stretched out to get my stomach out is killing me. I feel like I have done about 1000 stomach crunches. I'm hoping to ride through the pain and wake up tomorrow feeling better. I'm wondering if it was getting in and out of my car today ... I may of overdone it.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
