Just over 5 months post-op...progress report

Hi folks! Well, the weight is still coming off, but slowing down. I've lost 78 pounds since being sleeved, 125 total. I've got 68 more to go to reach goal!

I finally followed up with the nutritionist...got told I need to increase my calorie intake, but otherwise am doing well. I was getting between 800-900 calories daily and she said to aim for 1200 otherwise I likely won't lose weight. I'm getting 80-90 grams of Protein daily. Maybe bumping up my intake will help with my slower loss and the lightheadedness I get.

I talked to my trainer about my workouts. He also told me to eat more...cautioned me against overtraining. I cycle for 45 minutes almost daily and was weight training Tuesday and Friday. He suggested I increase the time between weight training sessions, so am trying Three days between sessions. Trying to decide if another readon the weight loss is slower is due to increasing muscle mass.

I'm feeling great. I'm starting to see more loose skin. I suspect this last bit of weight will leave lots of saggy skin!

I'm finally getting some follow-up with a bariatric surgeon in my home province. He has booked me for a gastroscopy to start. Was anyone else booked for a follow-up scope after their surgery?

Hope everyone is doing well on their journey. Be proud of yourselves! We are all working hard and making positive changes to live healthier lives.
