6 Months Post Op (Before & After 📸)



Recommended Posts

It’s my 6 month surgery anniversary… I can’t believe it’s already been half a year into this new me. This surgery has changed (and saved!) my life so much, I never thought I’d see the physical change in myself (we’re our own worst critics), but when I look at these photos… I am so damn proud of myself because I SEE where -70lbs has gone!

yep - I had my husband take pictures of my from all four sides on the 3rd of every month (because my surgery was on June 3rd) until I hit maintenance 20 months later. I love having my journey documented - and also, while I was losing, it was a great way to see my progress!

🗣🗣Thank you soooo much for these pics! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Absolutely amazing. Congratulations on all that chile lol This gives me so much hope for the sacrifice I made. Im 10 days post op from VSG. Only 7 lbs down so far but I’m not really focused on the scale just healing.
Did exercise also play a big role in your inches lost? For me I’m not one of those big losers just based on diet alone lol But I’m so interested in your story please keep us updated!

You’re in the thick of it right now but I PROMISE it gets easier… by 4wks post op you’ll feel like a new person.

If I’m being totally honest, I exercise very minimally. I’ve been sticking with low carb (try to stay under 45g/day) and it’s been working well for me. But, now that I’m in the final 25lbs or so before goal it’s slowed down (was losing ~8lbs/month and in Feb I lost 4lbs), so I’m going to start incorporating exercise to keep losing.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
