6 month Post op checkup today



Recommended Posts

So I have never posted in the forum before. I want to thank everyone who has posted however, as I have found a ton of great information in here on a number of subjects.

I had my 6 month post op visit today. My starting weight was 377 lbs on December 15th. As of today, I am down to 229 pounds. I've lost 148 pounds in 6 months!! It's really kind of like a dream most days, it just doesn't seem real. I have definitely put in the work between what I eat and when/how I exercise. I am very proud of that. I still feel like I have another 30-50 pounds to lose, but I also know my body will stop when it is ready. Anyway, I just wanted to share my success with you all. Keep up the great work everyone and don't give up!!

Congratulations and thanks for finally coming forward and posting. I know a lot of people don't feel comfortable posting, but it's important to help out the new folks by posting the good and the bad, so they know what they have to look forward to. Hopefully your success story will help give others the courage to choose WLS for themselves!

Wow. 148 pounds is a LOT to lose in 6 months. You must be feeling fantastic!

Your post was very inspiring to me, I hit 398 last year, I got so terrified that by January I was 388 and I knew I would gain it back like I always did, after 2 years of planning and researching I less than 8 hours from surgery, I weighed in at 362.2 about 2 weeks ago, then last week at 349 so by tomorrow I should be at 346, and I hope after the surgery I do even half as well as you, thank you for sharing that, it means a lot.

@@laguerr13 You are going to do great! Follow the doctors orders and get moving. You are going to lose weight simply due to the fact that you won;t be taking in all those calories, but walking and exercising has made all the difference for me. I hope your surgery went well!! I know the first couple days were a bit rough for me. Congratulations on beginning the rest of your life!!

      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!!

      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?
