April Update from everyone

[Raine 170]

I had my month post op and the doc says i'm doing great. I feel great and everyone is telling me I am looking great. I am on soft foods now so trying different things. I notice though that I can eat more than most people on here but not too worried. I still cant get in more than 3 oz so thats an indication that it is working. I am on a stall but expected it wouldnt pass me up either so I'm not sweating it too much. Well maybe just a little bit lol. When I was on mushies, for the mashed to add flavor I used a little olive oil and cooked some vidalia onions. OMG it was sooooooooo good. Softs for about a week then I can eat more normal. A little afraid of that because I don't want to over do it but excited at the same time. Just in time for my sisters wedding yayyyy! Hope everyone is doing great too!

It might be helpful to also include your weight at time of surgery. Those with more to lose tend to shed weight faster initially...

Surgery on 4/15/11

Surgery weight - 235

Current Weight - 204

Lost 31lbs in 6 weeks, 4 days.

I lost a huge amount the first 3 weeks but it's slowed to 1 to 2lbs a week these last three. I started exercising 2 weeks ago (cardio 5x/week + strength training 2x/week) so I'm just waiting for my body to adjust.

Lost to date 20 lbs

Lost 7 lbs pre-op (3 day)

-13 on the 2 week pre op

-17 on the one month mark

+3 over the past week

Dont be discouraged. I know what I am doing wrong. Got on reg food and went a little nuts after having nothing but liquids and mushies for the past 6 weeks (2 weeks pre op/4 weeks post op). Getting right on that band wagon again though. I am only going to change my ticker once a month though so I have time to lose those 3 again and hopefully plus some on top of that. Good Luck!

I have lost 37lbs. I weighed 240 the day I took my leak test. I didn't lose much right away because of my leak and having the tpn, but as they tapered me off of it, the weight started coming off.

[creativeteach 20]

I was sleeved on April 18th.

Surgery weight was 232.

I've lost 32 pounds.

I'm feeling good. My recovery was been ok. I feel guilty if I don't exercise everyday. I walk anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hrs a day. I have also signed up for a half marathon in October.

Gday all

Well I posted earlier on this and my update today at 6 1/2 weeks post op recovery has been great, my back has almost healed up from the damage from lack of blood flow due to extremely long surgery to remove lap band and be sleeved, for those who don't know it took 8 hrs to remove and repair damage and then sleeve me.

Pre op weigh in I was 435 lbs today I'm down to 366.9 lbs it's been a struggle at time no energy some days just want to be couch potato, but still managing to get 1 hr at gym per day on treadmill doing average of 3 mile in the hr, best was 3.7 miles worst was 1.4 that day just walked so slow no energy at all.

I'm drinking about 140 oz of Water a day and getting in close to 90 grams of Protein in a day also, been trying to get some fruit in but found watermelon hard to get in, been eating loads of blueberries and blackberries with yogurt .

Cheers Malcolm
