6 months post op



Recommended Posts

Yesterday was my 6 months post op. I had the gastric sleeve on July 18 and have lost 72+ lbs already! (Only allowed to weigh myself 1x month per surgeon so last weigh in was December 5) I think I would have lost more had there not been a lot of medical issues going on with my boyfriend but I stayed on track and am so proud to be where I'm at already! I don't think of it as dieting anymore, it's my new lifestyle and I love it! I feel so much better and am so happy I made the choice to save my life and have this surgery! I can't wait to see what a year or more brings my way, I'm truly blessed and lucky!

Here's a picture of comparison from last year, August 2015 and yesterday , my 6 month post op!

For once I'm so proud of myself! As tough as it was, it was worth it and feels so good to be healthy!

That's awesome. I was sleeved on the same day as you. As of this past week I'm down 70 lbs exactly. Only a few more lbs to go to reach my personal goal. I've already surpassed my surgeons goal by 13 lbs. I can't wait to go back and see him again and show off what an amazing job he did to help me

      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.
