12 week update - Full Report



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on May 9th. It's 12 weeks today! Time flies!

Here is the official report:

HW: 265 (4 wks before Surgery)

SW: 239

CW: 209

Dress size: 22w to 14/16

My post surgery wt. loss is not as fast as some. But I am very happy! It is headed in the right direction! And the total wt. loss in last 4 months is close to 60 lbs! No complains from me!

NSVs:

  • Started wt. training and loving it!
  • Started Couch to 5k. On wk. 2. Day 2
  • At lowest wt. in almost 16 years

Compliments/comments that made me feel great:

Hey girl! You are shrinking!

Looks like someone is bringing the sexy back here!

food goals:

  • Kept below 800 cals a day on non-exercise day
  • Upto 1000 on exercise days
  • Carbs no more than 70 gms on exercise & 40-50 on no exercise days
  • Protein intake: 80-110 per day
  • Here is the biggest one: I HAVE LOGGED MY food IN MFP FOT 80 DAYS IN A ROW!

hair loss: There is some so far only when I shower. I use Organic coconut oil couple of times a week. I massage it in gently and wash my hair in the morning. Hoping for the best. I will take the temporary Hair loss to have a chance at permanent weight loss!

Other: No weakness, no surgery pains/complications.

Hoping for continued downwards journey and support from this wonderful community!

What is couch to 5k, are you training for a 5K run (or walk)? I think your doing amazing!

What kind of protien shakes are you using?

It's a 5k run training program. I downloaded a free app for it on my iPhone. It's the best way to do interval training of walks mixed in with runs, 8 weeks long. At the end of that, I will be able to run a 5k. Let's see!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
