61lbs down 3 months post op!!!!



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, 3/30/17 will be my three month post op appointment and I am down 61 pounds. I can't tell you how surreal it all feels. I've went from a 3x to an xl in shirts and from a 22 to damn near a 16 in pants. Fabric makes the difference. But omg. I am so blessed I feel like I'm getting a second chance to finally feel good about myself. My confidence has gone way up. My energy levels have went up. I'm just so happy to see what's in store for the rest of my journey. So far I've been healthy recovering well with no hiccups and I hope and pray this continues. Eating good and staying away from sugary foods. And I still enjoy ice cream and sweets just low sugar sweets. Which is a plus for me and my sweet tooth. But overall this journey has been a lifesaver. Tomorrow I'll be cleared for weightlifting and I'm so happy to start toning up my body. Thanks to god for blessing me with my surgeon and family for all the support and love in the world. Hope everyone else's journey is going good. From 299 to 238[emoji38][emoji38][emoji38]

Congratulations! This is so exciting.

Your journey looks very similar to mine, except I'm tomorrow 2 months post op. I'm coming from 302 on sleeve day, and I'm now 254. I hope and pray that I'll be 238 in a month. Weight loss did slow down. I never stalled though.

Your stories are amazing I just finished all my prerequisites and my paperwork goes to the insurance company hopefully very soon I would love to just lose 25 lbs to fit into some of my old clothes, but I'll be happier if I lose the whole 80-85 lbs. I am very scared and excited at the same time but it's a good scared.

I don't know if I stalled because I don't weigh myself weekly. I let my clothes and how they fit encourage me to step on the scale. And its working.

Trust me I know exactly where you're coming from. My first 25lbs came off in the blink of an eye literally. They were gone before I could even notice. It'll go well for you. Welcome to the losers bench!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
