60 lbs just under 4 months pre and post op.
Was inching nearer to becoming a blood sugar checker. 355 lbs The largest amount I had ever weighed. I was scared of the potential complication and the life change, but the life I had was not a life I wanted, so started asking questions. Talked with my Primary DR. on April 26. Wieghed 348#s. Talked with him about high sugars, herniated disk, and weight. Told me I was a good candidate. May 8 344lbs met with DR Shrikanth at a seminar. Considered my quality of life and the fact that I had lost out mother to secondary effects of her weight 10 years earlier at age 58, 13 years older than I was and decided to try it.
Did all my testing through June all the doctor Every time they took my pressure, read my labs looked at me like I was an alien becuase I was perfectly healthy and actually quite fit. I could walk up mountains for hours with extra 100lbs of weight, over 350 lb. , I'd guess overweight automatically make you a heath wreck? but was certainly on my way to being one..J
uly 5th final review with DR. and wieghed 328lbs. Scheduled surgery for 7-24-12. Ate my last solid food 7-14-12 wieghed 322. Checkinto the hosital the 24th wieghed 312.2 week follow up weighed 300.
Sore but felt good the entire time got cold real easy but feelin fine the whole time.
august 18 Today I wiegh 287 lbs 68 lbs since started and 25lb since surgery.
Starting to really miss food. But sticking to it, my Dr. does not want solid foods til after 7 weeks, so got a way to go.
Have not been below 220 since I was in my 20s, was pretty fit then so maybe 7 more would be about my target.
Well it 8 months and five pound from goal weight of 200. July year later 190lbs August 14 184 The Date today is September 18, 2013 I have been averaging 185 for about a month. I actually have Been trying to maintain this weight although it is through pressure from family and friends. I sometimes consider going down another ten pounds, but really hate the comments about looking to small or thin. How do people handle these type of comment. Most often they are "you look good" But just as often it is you are "too skinny" and you are going to blow away. Did say anything when I was obese but ready to criticize my weight loss? Maybe it is just me?180 lbs today 10-18-13
