My 2 MONTH Post-Op Progress Report



Recommended Posts

Here is my 2 Month Post-Op Progress Report. Things have gradually changed over the last 2 months (since I had surgery on November 20th) and wanted to share my continued progress with those that might be interested. I know that I still have a VERY LONG way to go, but I am seeing progress which helps keep me motivated. Also, a BIG THANK YOU to all of you that have offered caring support and advice along the way as well as the BariatricPal weight loss and exercise challenges. I can't do it alone...so THANK YOU!!! And a special THANKS to my wife (as we are taking this journey together each step of the way).

You are the cat's meow, the man of the hour, the tiger on the loose. Just one little quibble: Take a look at your List of Changes and tell me that you haven't come a VERY LONG way. Ptish-tosh on "a very long way to go." You'll get there in 10 swings of a handbasket, whatever that means.

I have been sort of in a stall the last few weeks. It's not an actual stall I suppose since I have lost a little weight, but definitely much less and slower.

I'm happy to say that the weight has really started coming off again and I'm down 4.5 pounds since Monday.

Yay!!! I'm so close to Twonderland!!!

      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?

      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
