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 :)

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
