6 month check up



Recommended Posts

Hello

So I had my 6 month check up with my doctor and have learned that I lost 76% of my excess body fat . I have lost a total of 100 lbs and need 35 more to go . I am noticing that I'm not losing as much weight per week as I have in the past and feeling more of an appetite . I have made changes to my diet , like eating more nuts and fruits and less meats but still am not dropping the pounds like in the past . Any suggestions anyone ?

I lost 76% of my excess body fat .

miko

losing all that body fat, weight!!!! :)

thats "huge" :lol:

you started 135 lbs overweight - so the initial weight loss went a little quicker - or put it the obvious other way, since you don't have that much to lose now - things are slowing up a bit

sure, i tell tell you to up your Protein, or lower your calories, or maybe even raise your calories - get plenty of excercise - drink more Water

but..........you know all this!!!!

you've been so successful :)

you will continue to do great

keep up the good work :)

congrats

I don't have any suggestions as I just ended my 3rd week post op (and Im on a big fat stall) but I wanted to say WOW! 76% is so awesome! Congratulations!

Miko, WOW! 100lbs!?? That's awesome - very inspiring for someone like me, for sure :)

Advice, yeah... Give yourself a nice big ol' pat on the back and don't sweat the last 35lbs. They'll come off when it's their time. Focus on how amazing you must feel and look forward to a summer filled with many more fun things to do than in the past.

Great job, buddy!

Thanks everyone . It hasn't been easy but yes it's been well worth it . I just hope these last stubborn pounds come off soon as I'm stuck and haven't lost a pound for 2 weeks now .

My doc told me to go back to my preop diet for 3 days when I started noticing hunger 2 years out. He was right. That's all it took. I noticed my original restriction all over again. Worked like a charm.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
