Questions about weight-loss post op.



Recommended Posts

Hi there! I had my surgery on November 23rd, 2018 and I weighed 369lbs. As of today, I'm 295lbs. In total, I've lost 74lbs in 3 months. Is that the appropriate amount to be losing? Should I have lost more than that 3 months post op? I always feel like I could be doing better...any advice would be a huge help! Thanks!

Here's a comparison photo from the last 3 months. 20190228_183548.jpeg

Seems like a good pace to me. Just don’t get discouraged when it starts to slow down, you won’t lose that quickly forever!

Congrats on your loss so far!

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
