6 Months Post Op (Before & After ๐Ÿ“ธ)



Recommended Posts

Itโ€™s my 6 month surgery anniversaryโ€ฆ I canโ€™t believe itโ€™s already been half a year into this new me. This surgery has changed (and saved!) my life so much, I never thought Iโ€™d see the physical change in myself (weโ€™re our own worst critics), but when I look at these photosโ€ฆ I am so damn proud of myself because I SEE where -70lbs has gone!

yep - I had my husband take pictures of my from all four sides on the 3rd of every month (because my surgery was on June 3rd) until I hit maintenance 20 months later. I love having my journey documented - and also, while I was losing, it was a great way to see my progress!

๐Ÿ—ฃ๐Ÿ—ฃThank you soooo much for these pics! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ Absolutely amazing. Congratulations on all that chile lol This gives me so much hope for the sacrifice I made. Im 10 days post op from VSG. Only 7 lbs down so far but Iโ€™m not really focused on the scale just healing.
Did exercise also play a big role in your inches lost? For me Iโ€™m not one of those big losers just based on diet alone lol But Iโ€™m so interested in your story please keep us updated!

Youโ€™re in the thick of it right now but I PROMISE it gets easierโ€ฆ by 4wks post op youโ€™ll feel like a new person.

If Iโ€™m being totally honest, I exercise very minimally. Iโ€™ve been sticking with low carb (try to stay under 45g/day) and itโ€™s been working well for me. But, now that Iโ€™m in the final 25lbs or so before goal itโ€™s slowed down (was losing ~8lbs/month and in Feb I lost 4lbs), so Iโ€™m going to start incorporating exercise to keep losing.

      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.
