4 months post op today 7/10/15



Recommended Posts

Today is my 4 month anniversary and I am down 37 pounds since surgery and 60 pounds from my highest weight- I could not be happier! I know others have lost more than me in the same time frame, but I am very happy with my weight loss this far- people have noticed but I have not received one of those shocking comments about loosing too fast or are you sick, etc. I continue to enter all my food in MFP which is very helpful. I sometimes struggle with getting all my Protein in, but I strive to hit 70 grams a day. Fluids are not an issue I hit the recommendation every day. I have not had any food issues other than I can't have oatmeal or cream of wheat for breakfast- my body is turning those items into sugar too fast and I end up running to the bathroom. Maybe someday but I am not pushing it. I have had a couple of mini stalls and I find that if I increase my calorie intake then I loose a pound or two. I also hit my 2nd short term goal of weighing less than my husband, finally! Working on trying to come up with another short term goal. Wishing you all the same success and good luck on your journey!

@@innwtitdtity,

Congratulations! You are doing fantastic. I remember hitting that goal of weighing less than my husband who is overweight as well. Now I weigh less than my son who is a healthy weight.

Every time I hit one of those goals I get excited all over again!

@@innwtitdtity congrats and I think your weight loss is awesome. I also don't want to lose too fast and would rather go at a steady rate. I have been working out and weight training to keep my muscle tone and still noticing my close much looser. I am happy with my pace so far and so is my surgeon.

Celebrate your anniversary, you have come so far!!

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

      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! 😞
