jdillon 355 Posted April 6, 2014 Hey everyone Its been over a year now since my surgery. Ive lost over 100 lbs and I am now at my goal weight!! This surgery has definitevly changed my life and its the best thing I have EVER done! If anyone has any questions dont hesitate Oh yes I have lots of questions. I'm due for surgery in July. I'm 5ft4 and 211lbs. I would like to be at 125. I want to be successful. I'm having my gallbladder out on Friday and that's supposed to help once I have my sleeve. I have gallstones and gallbladder disease. I really want to be a success at this like you! Any advice would be great. What did you start out at? How tall are you? What bmi were you in the beginning? What was your regimen in the beginning? Everyone's is so different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

btlombardo68 15 Posted April 7, 2014 Awesome job!! Great pics!! Can any of you tell me if your breath changed after surgery? I'm a month out and my dental is all up to date so not that, but is it like that "ketosis"....which can affect your breath when on a Protein diet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lmedalsy 76 Posted April 7, 2014 Wow.... U looks stunningly beautiful , what a transform .. Happy for u . I have one question how much weight u loose in first six months & how much after ? Thanks for sharing it's really inspiring . I went from about 240 to 175 lbs after 6 months. It slowed down a lot after. Now im losing about 2-3 lbs a month.

lmedalsy 76 Posted April 7, 2014 Woww you look great, I was just wondering did you do much exercise through your journey, and if so what kind of exercise , my surgery date is the 15/4/14 I didnt do much exercise in the first 6 months. Mostly just walking. I then started toning so i would do some weight training about 3 times a week. I also do spinning i enjoy it a lot! And sit ups every night before bed!

lmedalsy 76 Posted April 7, 2014 Oh yes I have lots of questions. I'm due for surgery in July. I'm 5ft4 and 211lbs. I would like to be at 125. I want to be successful. I'm having my gallbladder out on Friday and that's supposed to help once I have my sleeve. I have gallstones and gallbladder disease. I really want to be a success at this like you! Any advice would be great. What did you start out at? How tall are you? What bmi were you in the beginning? What was your regimen in the beginning? Everyone's is so different. Hey! So im also 5ft4. I started out at 240. I had a bmi of about 40, maybe a bit higher. The surgery itself went very well. I had no pain at all (no meds). Just some neausea the first 2 days. The best advice is to walk a lot! Follow exactly what the doctor tells u to eat. I had zero appetite for a good 3 weeks post surgery. I was only on liquids. I didnt cheat at all but I also had no cravings whatsoever. Dont eat anything ur not suppose to because that will just stretch ur sleeve and ull regret later on! My sleeve has not stretched at all so i still eat very little, but i eat many times a day. Every 2-3 hours. I get cravings now for some stuff but a few bites will be enough! I couldnt eat refined sugars the first year i would get horrible cramps! But that seeems to have gone away. Your surgery will go great! Just make sure to strictly follow your pre and post op diets!

Sboulie 90 Posted April 7, 2014 I started at about 240. Im now at 132.. 14 months post op If this is too personal please feel free not to answer, but you don't look like you have any excess skin...how's that possible? Did you do anything to help that? You look phenomenal. It's inspiring! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You look phenomenal. It's inspiring! I have a little on my stomach and legs but not much. I have pretty thick skin so that helped but doing sit ups every night definitely helps! 1 Sboulie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
