6 Months Post Op - Pictures & Comments



Recommended Posts

On Tuesday the 15th I will be 6 Months post op... I can't believe how time flies!!! I guess as they say, it happens like that when you're having fun. I feel incredible (aside from my stomach bugs, which I'm taking care of right now) and my panels all came back amazing. My PCP is very impressed and when I told her I'll be running a 5K her eyes went big and shocked like. LOL!!! :D She is really beside herself and she told me I got it right this time... (surgery ;) )

Not only that, she told me to stop all of my high blood pressure medications. So... NO LONGER HYPERTENSIVE!!! Thank you sleeve, thank you Dr. Aceves for believing I could do it, and thank you to all of YOU for your support and motivation.

:wub:

Here are my six month progress pictures. I changed my goal simply because I really don't think I still need to love 60+ Lbs. If I do end up losing that much, I just don't think I'll have the shape I really want. I'm very close - so here's to the next 49 - YEAHHH!!

Six Months Post Op Pics (ETA) I'm wearing the pink sweat jacket I bought from Target, Size M:

Love it, love the outfit, the colours really suit you! I agree that you have a great shape, wouldn't be the same if you got too skinny!

Wow!! You look beautiful and a medium in six months- that's impressive! I'm reassessing my original goal also. I was going to lose 27 more but I am actually just going to shoot for a size 10 (I'm a 12 now). You look absolutely amazing, congratulations on your success and hard work.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
