I’m going on 6 years post op and I’ve gained weight 😨

My lowest weight was 155 and I stayed there for maybe a year and was steady at 165. Last year I crept up to 175 and this year I’m at 195. I started eating really bad and didn’t pay attention to my weight. I started an intense diet that many of you did pre-op (protein shakes) to see if that will give me a boost. I’ve had string cheese and nuts here and there. Hoping to see some progress in the coming months. I’m going to try to wear the same thing when I take my weekly photos.

195 lbs Nov 8, 2021

Haven’t updated in a while. For the past 5 months or so I’ve maintained my weight at 158. Not much weight loss compared to others but I ain’t mad 😋

Had my one month appointment today (really it’s been 1 month and 6 days) and my weight was 205lbs. In total that is 34 pounds from my highest weight/ before the liquid diet. I took this picture yesterday at 1 month and 5 days post op. Slow progress :)

Week 1 Post Op

I had my one week appointment on Wednesday and I only lost 7 lbs :( I don't know how this is possible if I was on a clear liquid diet. Hoping next week will be better??

First day of the preop diet. 4/27/16. I’m hoping this changes lol otherwise this would be pretty embarrassing.

Surgery

The first two days were hell. I've never had surgery, broken a bone, or had a child so this was my first time being exposed to any real pain. I've come to realize I have no tolerance for it. On the first day I thought it would take months to heal. I had a hard time staying up and I kept thinking it wasn't normal so I wasn't using the pain medication. Day two was still bad but I was walking around the hall for a bit. And day three! Aaaahhh day three!!!! What a relief it was to finally pass some gas. I also drank two bottles of water! Hopefully it gets easier tomorrow.
