7 months post-op With Pics



Recommended Posts

Good Morning all of my Sleeve family. I just wanted to pop in and let everyone know that today is my 7 month post op and I wanted to share some before and after with you. This ride has been a crazy one and I am grateful for this forum and all of the people that have given me support when I needed it. You are all family to me and I am so incredibly blessed to have the support and encouragement. So lets start with the stats...

March 7 2011

I entered a cold hospital scared out of my mind and I was seriously having second thoughts at 245 pounds. Dr. David Kim came to meet with me in pre-op and assured me that he would take care of me. That was the last moment in my life as a obese person. I awoke from surgery and had a panic attack. I think that we all have a rocky start. This is when my new life began.

7 months I am proud to say I am currently at 175 and still walking the vsg journey. My health is much better and my confidence in myself and my body image has changed considerably. I am currently wearing size 12 to size 10 jeans and walk with a bit of pep in my step...you guys know that walk I am talking about...

So on with the photo whoring....

Your sleeve surgery day is the same as my husbands (it also happens to be his birthday...hey he knew what he was doing when he picked his day...his gift to himself!) but anyway, I wanted to say he has lost the same amount of weight as you have! And they say men lose faster...ha! Great job...keep up the good work!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
