Loving life, feeling amazing, 9 months post op check in :)



Recommended Posts

Well guys this is my monthly check in or check up.

i hope I'm able to offer some inspiration to those who are yet to have surgery or still deciding.

But I have got to say this roux en Y gastric bypass operation has saved my life!!!

It's officially 9 months since I had my surgery here in Australia and it has been amazing, a breeze, no issues at all and lost weight consistently every month.

I've been in maintenance now 3 months pretty much with my weight sitting on average 165lbs but I've also seen 163,164 and 165.

i still weigh myself most days; it's a habit.

i don't worry about logging my food but I do keep a mental note of my intake calories; I still use shakes most days as some days I'm not hungry but others day I am really hungry...

I can eat mostly anything without any major issues and my weight has not changed at all which is great.

So 9 months since surgery and 11 months since preop diet.

Feeling amazing; looking great; starting to feel confident finally and my birthday coming very soon.

Had to buy some more clothes once again even though my weight isn't changing I think my body composition is changing like overtime your skin may retract and I think mine is doing it naturally or via gravity either way it's Great.

159lbs lost at my lowest weight but as I said my weight can vary a few lbs from day to day.

I'll be 36 very soon but I look and feel 26 and can't wait to start living life and finding a lovely lady.

My journey is over but I still have to keep focused and make sure I monitor my weight for the long term.

i just want to say it is possible to be successful. It is possible to lose ALL your excess weight and keep it off...

Thank you.

Photos attached :)

Positive feedback appreciated.

That's a different topic and a different room but again there's no rules to what you can talk about this is my monthly check in Vs a story about my full journey... People should feel safe and happy to post what they like.

Thank you.

Aren't you the guy that a few days ago posted SHAMING others about their posts about struggling with their journeys- your "STOP MAKING EXCUSES!!!" thing??? (And it came out that you were really just posting for attention, like today) THAT kind of attitude is what discourages people.

Some people never learn. You should block YOURSELF from all of us with your repetitive stories. Get a girlfriend, live a life now that you're so successful.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
