3 months post-op***down 80lbs***



Recommended Posts

80 lbs all post op?

I lost just less than 15lbs the week prior to surgery due to preop diet but the remaining 65 post-op most of it in the first 6 weeks and around 10-15 a month after and it continues at that rate for the most part :) but I also do a lot of muscle building/toning with it :) I went from a sz 22 going into the hospital and I'm in a sz 11 right now with 2 more days being 4 months and down almost 90lbs now :)

I eat 600 calories a day or less with half of my calories coming from my starbucks for Breakfast. I work out constantly' date=' daily, either hiking walking or the gym and I meet with a personal trainer 2-3 times a week. I am very dedicated to my lifestyle! I lost most of my wt in the first 6 weeks and have been steady between 10 and 15 lbs a month since. I will be 4 months in a couple days and almost at 90lbs loss and will post more pics then :) and thank you very much :)[/quote']

Are you able to get in all your Protein that way?

Are you able to get in all your Protein that way?

I don't. I stopped my Protein dreams after the first month. Protein actually makes me really sick now for some reason, weak nauseated and vomiting usually with anything over 20gms per serving. I take in around 30gms protein a day but we keep close track for any muscle wasting and so far I do continue to build muscle instead of lose it but my hair has taken the majority of the damage and is only about a fourth as thick as it was...

You look great!!! How are you doing with lose skin?

Unfortunately I have a lot on my abdomen :( but I have minimal elsewhere due to my extensive training :) slight amount on my inner thighs and none on my face or arms! I will have to go for a Tummy Tuck eventually but my surgeon suggested waiting 18 months which seems like forever. I also decreased 2 cup sizes in my bra so there is obviously modifications that may need to be made there as well but overall I am very happy with the loose skin only being in covered areas :)

Wow, that is the opposite of me since Protein makes me feel sick. Yeah, I don't think there's going to be much we can do exercise wise for that abd fold :( wish there was but definitely glad that it's just skin now vs the fat :)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

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