Results with a 35ish BMI



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Tomorrow I’ll be two weeks post op VSG and here are my results so far

Height: 5’6”
7/3/19 HW. 228
Pre Op 2 wk diet 222
10/15/19 SW. 207
10/28/19 197

So I think I am doing pretty well considering I had a 35ish BMI to start and today my BMI comes up as 31.8. Loss since 1st appointment/HW is 31. Loss since 10/1 pre-op is 25.

I also had a band for 5 years and had it removed over a year ago. I hear that could have an impact on loss but I don’t see how being that I had no band restriction for years and never maintained any weigh loss.

Anyone else with experience like mine? Did you lose consistently or slower than most. I think I am losing at a rate of what is typical right now. I’m happy but curious about the future. Does it slow a lot more when the purées and then solids start?

Thanks for reading.

Seems like you are on course I have not lost consistently -

I really feel you should not do the weigh thing daily - I weigh myself each Sunday once a week and shoot for 4 pounds a week = 208 pounds in a year! The main reason I am doing that is to not look like a shrinky dink with the skin and also I have been told it is easier

      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! 😞
