4 1/2 months and 72 lbs



Recommended Posts

I still cannot believe I actually went through with this surgery. I look at it now and even with the complications I am glad I went through with it. It's worth it. I am finally getting my body back. The body that for so many years I wanted so desperately but never had the will power to make it happen. Now here I am wearing normal clothes. I've gone from a very tight size 20 pants to a 12-14 and a 1x to a medium- large in shirts. The black dress I wore for Church yesterday was a size large. I don't even remember the last time I could so easily fit into a size large dress.

The first picture is the day before I started my 2 week liquid pre-op diet. The picture with the pink shirt was about the 3 month range. And the picture of the black dress was taken yesterday at 4 1/2 months out :)

Wow....that's awesome and you look FANTASTIC!!!!. I haven't set the date for my surgery yet but seeing this....though mine may be different....is very inspiring. What I want to know is what are you doing to lose the weight? What diet are you following on a daily basis, what excercise? Any information would be awesome! I am starting at 241 - close to your beginning weight and I really want this to be successful. I look forward to hearing what you have to say.

Texas Gal-I don't follow the norm. I have never counted calories, Protein, carbs, any of it. No diet other than eating Protein first with my meals, I fill up on the protein and then try to get in some veggies or carbs. I still eat very little but try to eat every few hours. Usually for Snacks I have string cheese or nuts or some veggies. I make sure to get plenty of Water in too. Exercise has not been much. I go for walks with the kids and I have a gazelle that I just started using when I have time too. I do not eat very much at a time even now, 1/4-1/2 cup at a time which is why I try to eat more often. The more calories I get the better the weight comes off. I do not drink Protein Drinks either, those have never sat well with my sleeve.

Thanks everyone! I'm kind of surprised by the difference myself. I never thought I would lose so much so quickly and really I never realize it til I actually take a picture and look back at the before shots. Then I am absolutely amazed lol

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
