Anybody else started at over 500 lbs?! Currently 9 weeks post op VSG and down 85 lbs! When did you notice your body changing?

I've been over 500 lbs in the past, but was around 480ish when I began my pre-op diet. As far as changing, I noticed my clothing sizes changing pretty quickly. I've gone from a size 62 pant pre-surgery to a size 52 within 5 months. I have a nice rain jacket that I bought when I was near my biggest. It was a 5xlt and pre-surgery, it was very tight in the shoulders. I wore it the other day and I felt like a teenager borrowing his dad's jacket, it just hung off me.

I don't notice the changes in the mirror as much, but that is due more to body dysmorphia (VERY common in bariatric patients) than it is a lack of change.

I had a bit more than 500 pounds to lose.

I noticed all sorts of things changing pretty quickly whether they were real or imagined. I certainly did notice when things most people took for granted started becoming easier for me. I continually discovered myself doing things I hadn't been able to do for years.

Good luck,

Tek

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
