One and a half years out - gastric sleeve surgery



Recommended Posts

I can't believe it! I am now 125 pounds. What I weighed in high school. Thinner than I was in high school. I am so happy and so much healthier. I hit a road block at 140. I stayed there for six months. I was still happy at that weight. Then all the sudden I started losing again. Kind of scared me. Went to doctor and had helacobator pylori. No biggie. Nothing wrong. The only problems I have is stomach aches. Which I know I cause myself. Still struggle with eating to fast, to much, and not chewing enough. Surgery so worth it!

Congratulations! I don't think I was 125 since like 4th grade maybe! I can't imagine how good it feels to reach that goal! So glad for you! :)

Great job on reaching your goal! Our stats are similar, so I'm going to ask you an odd question. Do any others around you comment that you are too thin?

I have seen others at my same height look healthier than me at 128 pounds. My cheeks are sunken in and my eyes tend to be a little bulgy. I'm wondering if my body will eventually adjust or shift so that I look better at this weight. I did lose my weight quite quickly, so that may have something to do with it. Otherwise, I may consider going back up to 135.

Yes. I hear all the time that I'm losing to much. I look in the mirror and like what I see, except shrinking breast an NO butt. I think they got so use to seeing me heavy, it's a shock. I've also gotten told how great I look. And the men have definitely noticed, even at 52. I'm happily married. But it's a great ego boost.

@@WL WARRIOR, you are an inch taller than me. I think everyone's different. If you feel to thin, try gaining more weight back.

congratulations I have had the issue of a few specific people telling me "tell me you are done loosing, you need to stop" This Monday I was just on my PMS horse and ran her butt over! I smiled and said "I am so glad you are my doctor and have made this decision for me" she said " you know what I mean".......I smiled and said "no, I don't. I am under a doctors supervision, I am fine, if I loose more it is fine, and if I don't it is fine, but it will still not be any of your business!"

I hardly know this woman!!

thank you for the vent ;-)

again congratulations on your goal weight!!!

I have even had one of my Bariatic buddies say you need to stop. If we are in the healthy BMI range I'm not concerned about the comments.

Is it me or do people know what a healthy BMI looks like anymore? Are healthy BMI's not the norm????

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
