6 months post op



Recommended Posts

Well I just passed my 6 months out from my WLS. I almost can't believe that it's already been this long. I've lost 82 lbs in that time frame. I am still having trouble seeing the new smaller me. Is anyone else having this issue as well? All those around me, tell me all of the time that I am that I am getting "skinny". Each time I blow it off and say whatever. I am afraid I will never see myself at the weight that others see me. I want to feel like everyone see's me.

For those that are further out, have you had this problem and if so has it gotten better along the way? Anything I can do to help change my mind's eye to see my true self?

Also, here are my current journey pictures.

I am 4 months out and only 50 pounds down and facing the same thing. I find that getting cute clothes and fixing yourself up makes you feel the weight that you lost

I am slowly buying some new things. I do not buy much because I am losing and changing sizes very often. I more interested in taking pics and looking in the mirror. Also looking a clothes in on my mind everytime I go to the store and before I didn't even want to pass the clothing.

You look awesome! And our brains are very powerful! Do what you're doing - take pictures and that way you can compare your body. I was sleeved on 5/10 and I have found that my mind hasn't caught up to my body. I've lost 65 lbs but sometimes I still see the same person in the mirror. I have 45 more pounds to go but I would imagine it stays challenging.

See I have the exact opposite issue. I see myelf as smaller than I am. I don't let clothes get too big because I'm too eager to move into that next size range. I bought some Kenneth Cole jeans that are too small but am confident I'll be in them by the end of next month. If not then definetely by Thanksgiving. I am constantly glancing in the mirror, not surprised by what I see because I've always seen myself smaller in my head. Its just finally coming to fuition. Can't wait to be 6 months post op!

I am sure those 50lbs will come off faster than you think. I only have like 23 to go and I am excited to get there way before my one year mark!

I'm almost 4 months post op and down just shy of 90lbs. I keep saying I need to go to a supermarket and get out 90lbs or oranges or flour or something just to see how much it is to help my brain adjust.

I had a high BMI and about 40lbs of that was weight I put on at the beginning of the year cause I was diagnosed with a chronic illness and the drug they had to use to treat it causes mass weight gain on the dose I had to be on.

I know you're probs sick of hearing it, but everyone really is different.

I also detest Protein shakes so I eat 90 grams of Protein a day, minimum.

      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.
