4.5 months out and down 107 pounds!



Recommended Posts

I am soo happy with my progress! I have had a lot of issues through this journey though. Im still losing a lot of hair and still have trouble keeping food down sometimes. But for people out there that are only 2,3,4 weeks out...it gets better! I didn't think it would...I would cry because I thought things would never get better but now I feel amazing! I love it! I started at 333 and im now at 226 and my goal weight is 160 to 170. Im going to Vegas in october so my goal is to get to at least 170 by then. :) I've attached a picture of myself. Im the one on the left with the brownish blonde hair.

Thanks!! I feel great! I lost 15 before surgery...we were required to in order to have surgery. I haven't really done anything special to lose it...in fact I haven't really been working out much lately because I've been super busy but im still losing somehow.

That's amazing!! I got sleeved on 2/1, and I am down -19lbs as of day of weigh in, in only 14 days! This is great news!! Are you doing Protein Shakes, and getting in lots of liquids?

Awesome!! Congrats! I actually drink slim fast drinks bc I can't keep the Protein Powder down...and I do alot of Protein Bars too. I still don't get in 70 grams everyday though its soo hard! I do drink quite a bit of liquids though.

Ok, thanks for the heads up:). I have heard that Protein and liquids are the key. I, too, have been struggling with the powder shakes...waaay too thick! I will try the slim fast drinks and see how they work. Congrats!!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
