Would You Have Weight Loss Surgery Again?

[It'sNowOrNever 100]

Sorry' date=' I have not responded to this post yet as it went off my radar. I am at goal weight and have been since February. Every month up to February, I would do the usual stall 1/2 the month, lose 1/2 the month. Losses tended to be good so the weight loss / stall pattern worked out in the end. Month 6 (january for me) is pretty common time for weight loss to slow a lot.

I would say really kick your exercise program into high gear. Better, check out my transformation challenge thread. I am sure that would help you achieve your goals sanely. At around month 5, I started running a lot. By the time I made it to goal during month 7, I was running 10 k and 5 k every week with a HIIT running day. This intense amount of running helped me lose the last 50-55 lbs down to 175 (started at 360).

now I am turning my focus more to strength rather then endurance cardio. I am not looking for body builder strength, but rather boxer strength. That is where this transformation program of 12 weeks is going to help me by focusing on high intensity short duration training sessions and cross fit HIIT sessions. Feel free to join in on the fun with others and we shall see what we can do in 12 weeks.[/quote']

Do you have transformation photos ? I would love to see them.

I believe the shots will be available in June sometime. At this time, I do not know if they can be reposted here and will ask about that. If not, I will definitely provide the online link.

Yes, I would definitely have the surgery again! It's been easier than I ever imagined. My husband is a diabetic and is overweight. He was like you're crazy but was still supportive. Now he is in the process of being approved for surgery.

Nope. I put my life at risk and now my marriage is at risk. Not worth it.

[onegordita2 12]

Didn't you meet with a nutritionist before surgery?

I was told my post-op diet would consist mostly of Protein and that I would have to take daily Vitamins -- I was not surprised! Honestly taking vitamins and eating protein are 2 very minor things to gain my health and life back!!

This has been really easy for me. I was well educated about what to expect after the surgery and I don't find it hard to take my Vitamin and getting in my Protein. Now Water is a different story. I do have to work at getting my water in. It is a struggle at first but it does get easier. The sleeve is just a tool, nothing else. I couldn't lose the weight before and keep it off, now today I'm down to my lowest of 140.8. Yahoooooooooooooo! Love my sleeve and for me, it's easy........
