I month anniversary



Recommended Posts

Thank you so much for posting this. It is really inspiring. I'm eagerly awaiting my surgery on December 19th and since my surgeon wants me to lose 16 more pounds before surgery - was 376 now 339 and have to be 323, I'm starving but as a self pay with 30K already spent trying to fulfill requirements, I can't stop now. So...I've been looking for inspiration. You were beautiful in both, but I'm sure feel so much better. Thanks again and good luck!

If you just keep following the rule and eat well and exercise, things will work themselves out.

My Dr told me if you are where you are a stall not loosing weight, the only thing to jump start it back is sprints. He said there will be plateaus when u don't loose however you will loose. I have lost 100 in 5 months and there were times I stalled. I'm having a hard time eating I get real nauseous. Day by day..... Goof luck hun

Great job! I am also a little over 1 month post op. How much have you lost since surgery? I feel like I am going much slower than everyone else :(

I know it's really hard to do but try not to compare your weight loss journey with any one else's. Everyone has different bodies, metabolisms, and coexisting medical issues. Also age, sex, diet, and activity level all affect the numbers you see on the scale.

I also sometimes feel like I haven't lost as much as I should have since surgery because I had so many complications. When I see people who weigh way less than me losing a whole ton in the first month when I didn't lose that much it's hard not to get down on myself.

I just have to remind myself that I have lost a large amount of weight since surgery and maybe it's not as fast as other people but I also have longer to go.

Keep your head up and try and keep some blinders on. This is your journey, don't feel you have to compete with anyone else. That will only set yourself up for failure, I know, it's happened to me in the past.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
