My 1 MONTH Post-Op Progress Report

[Fatty McFatster 888]

Things have changed fairly rapidly over the last month since I had surgery on November 20th and wanted to share my progress. I know that I still have a VERY LONG way to go, but I have been shocked at how much things have changed in such a short period of time. I know some info might be TMI, but I just wanted to share with those that might be interested. So, here is my 1 Month Post-Op Progress Report.

Weight Lost: 36.2 pounds

Inches Lost: 27.5 inches

Pant Size: 58 down to 50 waist

Shirt Size: 4XL down to 2XL-3XL (depending on the shirt)

Short/Boxer Size: 4XL down to 2XL

Distance able to walk: Was at 50 yards and now up to 3.0 miles

Time able to walk: Was at 2 minutes (to mailbox and back) and now up to 60 minutes

Back Pain: Pain was excruciating and now almost non-existent

Knee Pain: Pain was excruciating and now it's mild

Windedness: Got winded getting up off the couch and now can walk 3 miles without being winded

Washing/Wiping: Had trouble fully washing myself and wiping, but now have no problems

WOW that is great results for the 1st month. 36 pounds is a huge loss and you have had a lot of NSV as well. Many of which I also hope to achieve with the sleeve whenever my surgery date is going to be.

Thank you!! I appreciate the kind words.

I have a long way to go, but I just might change my name if I lose enough weight.

Awesome results, man. Truly awesome.

Just think......you are just a month into this deal. Tremendous first month.

As far as the name change thing goes......may I suggest Dirk Diggler.

Mark Walberg's character name from Boogie Nights. You are gonna feel like a stud.

I can't get over your clothing size difference in just ONE month. I know that feels great.

What I can't get over is 1 month ago McFatster was only able to walk 50 yards and now he is walking 3 miles. That is 5,230 more yards than he use to walk. That is if I did my math right. For me who can't walk but 2 to 3 minutes walking that much more just blows my mind away.

McFatster I am the female version of what you were and I can only hope and pray I can become what you are now and will be in the future. I know your wife is thrilled for you. If you don't join her on the hike she spoke about in another thread- I will come to Ky and join her.

Congratulations! This is so awesome. I know how great it feels to go from being basically immobile to being able to MOVE! It only gets better!

Thank you so much. I have a long way to go, but I am more pleased with the change in my mobility than the weight lost. For a while I was fearful for my life due to the immobility and exertion it took just to walk to the mailbox.

And I am definitely going for that hike. We have been dreaming about it for a long time and I even think Santa is bringing us some hiking shoes.

Congratulations! This is so awesome. I know how great it feels to go from being basically immobile to being able to MOVE! It only gets better!

I am so happy I am able to walk again as well. I didn't realize how exhilarating it is and how much I took it for granted.

FROM NOV-16 TIL DEC.29,2015 I HAD LOST 29LBS DR DIDNT SAY THAT I HAD TO LOOSE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF WEIGHT BEFOR I WS ABLE TO HAVE THE SURGERY, BUT I JUST STARTED IT SO I KNEW WHAT AND HOW MY BODY WOULD REACT. STEPPED ON THE scale YESTERDAY, AND ACCORDING TO IT I AM DOWN TO 264LB. HAD SURGERY ON DEC.30, 2015.. AND WENT BACK TO THE GYM THIS MORNING FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE MY SURGERY. SO KNOW I AM WONDERING HOW MUCH WEIGHT SHOULD YOU HAVE LOST AFTER ONE WEEK OF SURGERY? IM JUST SUPER EXCITED THAT I AM FINALLY GETTING THIS OTHER PERSON OFF MY BUTT. WHEN YOU HAVE COME FROM 398 AND STILL ASK YOURSELF HOW AND THE HELL DID U GET THAT BIG AND NOT EVEN LOOK IT, BUT U KNOW U WERE A BIG PERSON IS CRAZY...
