How Have Your Tastes Changed Since Surgery?
Micdruss replied to Alex Brecher's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Before my sleeve if I wanted junk I immediately turned to sweets....now I crave salt, like tortilla chips or popcorn, but do my best to not indulge. I also have noticed that if I do have something sweet it's usually too rich -
I Want To See Before & After Pics! (Cont'd)
Micdruss replied to LilMissDiva Irene's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
6 months and 86 pounds! I've gone from a size 28 in pants to an 18. Best decision ever!!! -
Wow! Great job!!!

Thanks! I still have a ways to go but it's nice to see the changes

48lb down but only one dress size!
Micdruss replied to Beachsprite's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It took 35+ lbs for me to go down a size but then it started going faster. I have lost 86 lbs and have gone from a 28 to a tight 18 in jeans. Another thing could be your shape. I'm an equal opportunity fatty but have big arms and a small chest so while I can fit into smaller t-shirts if the fabric doesn't stretch the arms won't fit -
How did you all set your goal weight?
Micdruss replied to melps's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I asked my surgeon at my 6 month check up what a good goal would be and he said he wants his patients to get to a bmi of 27. For me at 5'10 that's 190. I think I would like to be a little lower, I want more of a gap to that 200 number. I'm 239 right now -
239.5 this week....might actually make goal!
-
241 this morning! Thanks

Oops, forgot to post on Monday! Weight 244 this week! Thanks

When did you buy new clothes?
Micdruss replied to Sara51692's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have been very lucky with EBay! Just make sure you look at the shipping costs! -
Lol, my goal at 5'10 is 174....the top of healthy bmi. I can't even imagine being lower than that!
-
Awesome job!! Can I ask what your weight loss looked like as far as how much you lost when? I'm 6 weeks out and down about 30 pounds. I feel like I'm slower on losing them most. Suggestions? Ok so on pre op diet I lost 15 lbs and since Mid July I have lost about 20 lbs. the weight in the middle is hard to say exactly because my scale had to be replaced in July and my new one(same brand) showed me gain 20.....which I then went and compared to my dr scale....and it was correct which totally sucked! So I lost 40 lbs or so pretty evenly over the 1st 3 months? Sorry if this is confusing
-
Yes! My arms are horrible but we're large to begin with....here's a pic(I hope ) And I don't think my belly and upper thighs are going to be great but we shall see
-

What did your breast's do?
Micdruss replied to meyouus's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Well I guess there are perks to small boobs! At 5'10 being barely a B has always been annoying....until now! I have gone from a 42 B to a 36 B(-76 lbs, 70 to go) and they are still in the same spot and actually look bigger since everything else is smaller ???? -
When did people notice your weight loss?
Micdruss replied to newbeginnings1965's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
It took about 35-40 lbs for people that really know me to start commenting. Funny story though. I am on a carnival committee for my kids school that I've done for the last 4 years and so deal with a lot of the same people each year. I have gotten tons of comments about "my new haircut" which is exactly the same as last year lol. I'm guessing the losing 75 lbs since April has helped my hair style look better ???? -
Starting weight is 246.3, keeping goal at 235

If I knew I was going to be getting pregnant after weight loss surgery I would hold off on the skin surgery. If you don't you will be stretching out the tight(but already stretched before) skin and might need to do it again. Just my opinion though
