taraallenrn 37 Posted September 14, 2013 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 1 gmanbat reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gamergirl 4,610 Posted September 14, 2013 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?

taraallenrn 37 Posted September 15, 2013 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...

Nesa 51 Posted September 16, 2013 You look great!!! How are you doing with lose skin? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
taraallenrn 37 Posted September 16, 2013 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
