Had my 6 month post op doctor's visit



Recommended Posts

So far from a year ago my Body Mass Index (BMI) number is down 20 points. This time last year I had a BMI of 51 and now I am at 31. Yeah its still high but that just shows how far I've come in so little time. I need to change my current weight on my profile too. But I am now about 100lbs away from my goal and about 120lbs away from my doctor's goal.

Thank you all. I mean that is a ton of weight to loose in 7 months 110lbs from my surgery date weight to now. If I add up what I lost from a year ago when I was at my highest weight to now, I am literally down 275lbs. And I can indeed tell the difference being that much lighter. I can run up about 4 flights of steps and not be winded at all.

      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.

      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! 😞
