Recommended Posts

Surgery was on May 12th and I had my first fill yesterday. I have lost 15 lbs since surgery and 25 from the start of the 6 month insurance requested diet.

I was banded 4 weeks ago and have lost right on 15 pounds since the actual day of surgery.

I'm so happy- I'm down 2 dress sizes and have to stop myself from buying new clothes as I know I'm going to lose a whole lot more!

I am really looking forward to my first fill in 5 days, mainly as I have been going all out at the gym in the past week and I can't wait to compare my muscle and fat percentages with what they were 4 weeks ago.

Surgery date - May 29th. I was 240.

This morning, I was 230. (I updated my ticker - gotta go update my numbers in my signature.) I lost a lot before surgery, too.

Happy as a clam. :tongue:

sorry just read this was a may 2009 thread

That's okay. It's really great to see people losing a lot of weight over time. I think it gives everyone more confidence that they'll lose a lot more. GB

      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? 🤷‍♀️
