BE HONEST PEOPLE, did anyone think okay they are going to cut my stomach and...



Recommended Posts

How many of you thought okay I am going to have this surgery and they are going to cut most of my stomach off and the weight will just drop off. Now I knew this surgery was different from the bypass but in know way did I think I would have to work so hard to loose a pound when I can't even eat but a few spoonfuls of anything. Now I am find with my slow progress BUT sometimes I sit back and say I did think this would be a little easier. Anyone else have those thoughts, I know dam well I am not the only one who is thinking this.

I was an extremely slow loser some months I lost nothing. I was working out 6 days a week, going to my monthly NUT appoints, following plan. And I lost at a snails pace. Then I would log on to forums and see the weight just falling off of other people. Even my cousin who had RNY said she could not believe how hard I was training. So yes, I had those thoughts. Although I tried not to compare myself it was a bit frustrating... I am a pear shape and it is known that is is very difficult to get rid of the lower half.

Just had my 12 week post op appt. I told my dr the same thing. I've lost 45lbs... Which I'm not complaining about but I don't eat a whole lot, I drink my Water and in moderately active and it's just so slow moving.

Some days I get so frustrated but when my dr said I can come off my insulin today.... The slow loss didn't bother me as much. No more insulin is a huge win. I'm doing something right!!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
