Hi All,

Didn't see an October Post Op thread so I figured I'd start one.

I was sleeved on Oct. 17,2017. I had no complications, only pain I dealt with was the gas that was stuck in my rib/chest area for about 4 days. I didn't have any nausea or vomiting and have been doing great. Only frustrating thing is I hit a stall about 10 days ago and the scale hasn't moved yet. How's everyone doing?

I have been at a stall for a few weeks now. But my measurements are down. Been having some depression and a lot of pain. Today was my 6 month check up, but I had to cancel because I am sick! (Strep throat is floating around our household!) so i need to reschedule. Weight was 350. Day of Surgery I was 260. 6 months 207. My measurements blew me away!

1/2016- 4/25/18

Weight 350 - 207 = 143 lbs

Bust 53” - 44 1/2” = 8.5”

Waist 48” - 40” = 8”

Hips 59” - 48 1/2 “ = 10.5”

R arm 17” - 14 1/2” = 2.5”

L arm 17” - 14 1/2” = 2.5”

R thigh - 29.5” - 25” = 4.5”

L thigh - 29” - 25” = 4”

40.5” total lost! I dont like my scale!

Getting there!

I am going to try to post some pics later. I have lost 79 lbs from my highest. I am 5'10" and now at 184....I look good!! My face looks a bit thin, but I'm ok with it. I was having a bit of thinning hair but not too badly...and it seems to be thickening up again. I am Soooooooo happy that I had this surgery. Like, ridiculously happy. 79 lbs gone!

I am eating so much less, Mostly healthy foods, staying active. My goal is 170-175....so I am pretty close.

79 lbs gone in just a bit over 6 months!!!

That's amazing ProfessorSlim, well done!

Good for you Professor Slim. And Kandywolf, you are a fine-looking lady, but inside and out. You,look much like I thought you,would. God Bless all who Read This???

Well today I hit a milestone that I never would have dreamed possible at the beginning of this journey. I am now officially in onederland as I think it’s referred to around here. This also puts me over the 100lb mark of weight loss since surgery as well. I have actually reached a point now where I no longer have a goal weight. I am in the “healthy” or “normal” range for BMI, and my only goal now is to keep working to get my body to where I want it to be strength wise.

Contrasting over 11.5 months.

First pic in red beanie is from mid-May 2017 ... five months before surgery and about 177kg (390 pounds). BMI = 57.13

Second pic from less than two weeks ago (i.e late April) ... six and a bit months post surgery ... at 131kg (289 pounds) & BMI 42.3.

The two pics were taken on the same verandah less than a metre apart 11.5 months time-lapse. Interesting that I happened to be wearing the same sports pullover/top both days. (There's a 'shipload' of spare space in that top now!)

Trying to level off somewhere around 210. I've been maintaining for a couple weeks and then go down a half pound or a pound. It's the flab on my gut!! I'm 90% certain I'll have TT in the winter...I feel like I won't be "complete" until that flab/skin is gone.
