11 months post op - WOW!



Recommended Posts

I haven't posted much but had my daughter take pics and WOW is all I can say!

At my top weight I was 210.....at 5'2" that is a lot. I got down to 196 on surgery day - 6/16/14. I had a pretty rough 6 weeks right after surgery but once I got on the proper medication the journey got pretty easy.

Now 11 months post op and down to 129 it has been an awesome adventure. So pleased I had the sleeve done.

I also show horses (and have for years), after I had lost about 75 pounds I was at a show, the judge was someone I showed with, she didn't recognize me and asked my trainer who that was riding my horse! Too funny.

Congrats! You look awesome and should be proud of your accomplishment! ❤ I'm at goal too and I'm learning that most people don't recognize me vs. are ignoring me! It's a weird concept to grasp. I don't think I look different but then when I look at before/after pics - wow!

Sooo close to my goal...........but if my body is happy at this weight - I will be ok with that!

I will be 60 this year and wish I would have done the surgery years ago.

Wow. That's amazing progress. I started at 192 and I'm 5'0. I sure hope I get there when I'm at 11 months. Congratulations on your great success!

      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.
