_bribri1001 62 Posted December 5, 2016 I am a few days late but my 1 month post op was on 12/3/16!! I'm not going to say it went by quick because it didn't. I was one of the unlucky persons who was just going through it the first 2 weeks. I have officially lost 15lbs which I am really excited about. My confidence is coming back. I still have one more week of soft food and I am still working on getting enough Protein and Water in a day. I can't say how much I miss being able to gulp! I work in the ER so my average steps in a day are around 16,000-18,000 ranging from 4-6 miles a day. And that's pretty much 4x a week. So no working out either. I do push ups from time to time though. I do feel like I am going at a very slow process but I am happy to be at least 15lb down. I wanted to put up a face to face to help motivate people especially the 1-2day post op sleevers. It gets better. I can't wait to see what I look like at my 2 month Post op! Top is surgery day and bottom is today! STATS: HW: 246 SW:231 CW:215.4 GW:155 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigViffer 3,544 Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) Damn, that is a beautiful smile! 16K steps a day?! Incredible! I was winded walking from my couch to the bathroom one month out from my surgery.

#1parrothead 7 Posted December 6, 2016 Congrats! We are at the same stage and have the same stats (mostly). My 1 month was 12-2. I feel like I could've written the same post! (Minus the walking.) I've not been getting around much, feeling pretty tired a lot. HW 243; SW 231; CW 213; GW 165. Keep it up!

Bjordan2 1 Posted December 6, 2016 Thank you for sharing. It's amazing how much a difference 15 lbs can make! I haven't had my surgery yet. I am a nurse on a busy medsurge /tele unit. I've been looking for other medical workers on here and I'd love to have input on how quickly you were able to go back to work, what your experience was like, dos and donts, etc. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably could have gone back sooner because I felt great but still had a lifting restriction. Best of luck to you! Sent from my iPhone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
