6 months post op, how lost?



Recommended Posts

Hey all. I just passed my 6 months post op anniversary. Was just curious how much weight folks lost after first 6 months. I am including the pre-surgery diet weight loss too. I am down 95 lbs as of yesterday. 5 more lbs to hit 100 and 14 lbs to see one-der-land. Started at 308 down to 213. Naturally I am sure some lost more some lost less but we all need to stick to the plan will all be successful.

I am 7 months post op and have lost 79lbs from the start of my journey. I was 240lb and now 161lbs. I am have hit my goal and noticed that I have made a real lifestyle choice. Just did a Tummy Tuck and breast lift 3 weeks ago. Feeling great and so glad that I started this journey.

Wow, good to hear from you and you sound so positive after all your complications! I really feared for your life for a while. You have done well! I am three and a half months out and just hit wonderland yesterday. That seems like a milestone.

I think losinghope15 could use some of your wisdom from all of your post-op experiences.

That's great!! I was wondering how you have been doing since you had all those issues. There is another woman who's daughter has been going through a rough time similar to yours.

I was sleeved at the end of October and at my 6 month check up I was down 85 pounds and now a stall. I have hit onderland but still gave more to loose. It does seem like at the six month mark the food went down a Little easier and was able to eat a little more than in the beginning. Still get full fast. Do gave some hunger when I don't have my Protein Shakes.< /p>

oh, oh, ohhhh

you know what "they" say about curiosity ;)

end of my story first - answer is - i don't know exactly how much weight i lost at 6 months :wacko:

i have one gigantic regret!!! :angry:

i never kept a blog/records :o

no measurements

didn't write down my weights

never took pictures throughout my journey

buttttt. i'm still "cute as a button" :lol:

"they" say that loosing 10 lbs a month is good/average

my weight loss starts with my DOS

12/15/11

almost to the day of my one year surgiversary

i lwas down105 lbs,

GOAL

maintaining 2.5+ years later

weigh daily (works for me)

do try and stay on top of my #, but i still do fluctuate :(

our weight loss "journey" really starts the 1rst day of maintenance

want to be 5 lb BELOW goal for a little "wiggle" room

i know i will achieve that

EVENTUALLY (sooner than later ;) )

glad you put your @@nprcowboy in your "title"

that way i didn't miss reading your post :)

as many others i went through your bad/hard times with you ;)

but i didn't hurt and suffer physically

glad you are healthy and doing well :)

who deserves it more?? :)

keep up the good job :)

stay well

take care

I just want to say great job to all of you I just had my surgery this week Tuesday. I have lost 15 pounds so far including the pre op diet. I hope I can lose as much as all of you. I'm so looking forward to this journey. I have been in pain all week from my surgery. Today is the first day I'm starting to feel better. Your post are so inspirational.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
