6.5 months post op



Recommended Posts

I had surgery July 26th, 2016 making me about 6.5 months post op. I have felt great, but find myself struggling. I am down a total of 75 pounds and have gone from a 24 or snug 22 to a 16 in bottoms and 2x/3x to a Lg/XL. I have hit several stalls along the way and it's frustrating. I often find myself falling into old habits, but do my best to correct myself. Even during my stalls, I can feel the inches coming off which is something I had to change in my mindset. I need to stop worrying about the pounds so much and as long ands I'm losing inches, I feel like I must be doing something right. I feel like I should be down a lot more, but I keep reminding myself where I started and I am proud of it. Due to life situations, I haven't been exercising like I should, but working on that too. I hope blogging on this site with help me with accountability too. Keep moving forward. One step at a time!

It seems like I experience only one drop in weightloss within the month. It will all of a sudden drop 5 or 7 pounds other than that it has been maintaining same weight during the stalls.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
