I weighed 297 at my pre- surgery appointment on October 2,2017. My gastric sleeve surgery was on October 17,2017. I only did a liquid diet for two days prior to surgery. I weighed 287 the day of surgery. Today, ( January 16,2018) I currently weigh 228 pounds. I've officially lost 69 pounds in less than 3 months. Is that normal ? I'm female, 42 years old, and 5"6.
I'm happy with the weight loss, but curious to know what other people have experienced after having the gastric sleeve surgery.
Please note I have a ton of energy...take my vitamins faithfully, I struggle with getting all my required protein intake at times and my appetite has decreased tremendously since surgery . But at the end of the day .... the weight is really melting off me. I went from wearing a size 2xl / 3xl down to a medium. The mediums fit snug, but it's a blessing to be able to fit a medium in less than 3 months after surgery.
I have completely phased out of Lane Bryant clothes and can now fit cute clothes from Victoria Secret .
Please share your weight lose experiences after the gastric sleeve surgery, I'd love to hear about your weight loss journey.
