Update/Questions: December 20 I will be six months out; I have gone from 52 inch waits to 42; 294 post OP to 220 as of today

1. Where are you buying clothes, pants? Burlington coat factory have bigger sizes, not much I can wear at work. Goodwill has mostly been a miss. (Just got some slacks on sale at Penny's)

2. I have a timer in my pocket to remind me to drink Water during the day, and I am using Kirkland brand powdered Fiber to stay regular. Any other suggestions?

3. I am a therapist so I walk for ten minutes between sessions during the work day (Using ankle weights at home when I walk) Any other ideas during the work day?

4. Still have a low sex drive, but better than it was at this current weight; suggestions?

5. I am using an Instant Pot/ Vitamix blender and a smoker/grill so I have been thrilled with a variety of food choices.

6. I am sticking to a plate with measurements for Portion Control and am still full after 1/4 cup of Protein (salmon, chicken/beef)

7. Can't wait to hear from many of you!

Hello Dr!

Sounds like you are doing an awesome job, 70 pounds in 6 months, wow!

The only thing I thought of suggesting to you is that while in the office try to spend as much time on your feet as you can. Or if time allows got for an evening walk. Are you still getting all your Protein in? Keep up the good work, you are an inspiration!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
