Any 5’5 through 5’9 ladies that started with 35bmi and under want to share before and after photos



Recommended Posts

Hi! I’m pre vsg. My surgery date is June 15th and I’m soooo ready and soooo not ready at the same time! I’m 5’6 and a half for those who count halves lol. My starting weight is 201. I fluctuate between 198 and 202... I’m considered a low BMI. I’m high risk for diabetes and didn’t want to go down the path I’ve seen my mother and my grandmother go down. So I thought if I had the opportunity to stop this now I should. I’m hopeing to see other women’s success with similar stats to mine for some motivation and to keep me from being too scared of what may come. Any ladies in this category if you have any tips or advice, I’m all ears! Excited to begin a new adventure in which I don’t get winded chasing my 4 year old, or have a hard time getting off the floor from playing with my 8 year old. Just hopeing for a new start.

And Good Luck to one and all Even if it takes a while to heal perfectly, we all will be better off and slimmer then we were before surgery happened.

I'm not quite your stats but fairly close, am 164cm and was 101.4kg when I had vsg 9 months ago. Because I was considered low BMI for surgery I wasn't able to get it on public funding had to pay privately (I'm in Southern Hemisphere). I'm down 34.5kg so far, would like to lose another 3-5kg, best money I ever spent. I am back to training heaps, lifting heavy and running, loving life. I'm also nearly 47 years old. It's a big decision to make, and not always easy at times, but can totally turn your life around ☺️

      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! 😞
