mediocre February; 6 month surgiversary



Recommended Posts

I did my measurements today since its unlikely I will lose inches by tomorrow.....

I "only" lost 9 pounds this month....disappointing but expected because of the 24 potential workouts, I only did 10....the only cardio I got was swimming, the rest StrongLifts.....thats horrible considering Im supposed to be training for a triathlon...

I started night shift the 1st of February and I just cannot adjust...my workouts ( and eating) have suffered.... I have one more month of this shift and I MUST do better...

Despite, I lost some inches... minus 2 on both hips and waist...down another 1 at bust ( down to 34 B, I cant afford to lose anymore but I seem to lose here first)...one inch from both thigh and arm and 1/2" from calf...

According to BMI I am overweight (29.0)... according to Body Fat, I am in "acceptable" range at 27.6... my waist to hip ratio is also in "low risk" range at 0.95

I was sleeved Aug 30, so I will consider tomorrow the last day of Feb as my surgiversary....

I am down 81 pounds from Pre-op weight...

I did my 6 month post-op bloodwork last week.... Im low on Iron & Vit D... I was low pre-op but back up to normal levels at my 3 month post-op checkup... so back to taking those supplements...everything else was normal...

I had cholesterol checked yesterday, total cholest was 149 ...HDL = 47.... Ratio 3.2

so all in all I feel kinda blah about it all.... did GOOD and I feel blessed but I could've done better

I will be interested to see what my cholesterol is after 3 months. I have learned that cholesterol is largely hereditary.

vogue

could have, should have, would have!!!!

can't go back, enjoy the present

you are doing great

82 lbs down, down, gone forever - down the toilet - flush!!! :lol:

you are loosing inches, weight will come off soon again

i understand about changing shifts, having thrown you off

you will return to your regular shift shortly, that will help you out again get back to "normal"

but remember, telling you nicely - you must learn to adapt to different temporary life changes - cuz they will happen

whether it be a vacation, night out - stuff happens

but i have confidence in you, and i can see B) you will continue to do great :)

I'm glad you realize you've done good

IMO you've done GREAT!!!! :)

keep up the good work

congrats :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
