11 months post opt. Gastric Sleeve



Recommended Posts

I just celebrated my 11 month post surgery. I started my journey March 2015. At which time I weighed 378 pounds. Per insurance requirements I had to do a 6 month diet. I started out good but then started reverting back to old ways. My surgery was September 9th 2015. Dr mark eaton from southern Oregon bariatric center. Day of surgery I weighed 358. Today I weigh 243 pounds. Total loss 135 lbs. since surgery 115 pounds. I am off blood pressure, cholesterol , and no longer a diabetic. If anyone has any question feel free to message me. I am an open book. When I started I wore a size 48 pants. Today I wear 36. post-263020-14710749646667_thumb.jpg

Congratulations on this big accomplishment, I do have one question when you say revert back to old ways how long after surgery. I am 2 months post-op and have lost a total of 53 pds. But I feel tempted sometimes to eat things I should not. It is extremely difficult.

Taking a taste is not always a good idea. If you aren't "allowed" a certain food or drink - you're not allowed any - even a taste. For example - I'm not allowed nuts for 8 weeks. A taste could cause significant complications - possibly life threatening. If you are "addicted" to ice cream and just "take a taste" it could trigger a binge. Stay strong and find a distraction or alternative for a craving.

I didn't mean for her to sabotage her success or put her in the hospital. A taste is simply that, to satisfy what you want and be done. Not everyone can stop at a taste. Not everyone is expected to react the same. Do what is best for you. Follow what your team says. Positive attitude and having realistic expectations is a good goal to have. You will have good and bad days, like all of us. Just think back about the day you decided to really go full force. Is that still your goal?

      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.
