Going on 6month post op 7 pounds lost since last post

I am so amazed at this journey. It's been rough. The first 2 months was very hard. I am going on 6 months post op April 25th

I almost cry everytime i look it the mirror. I make sure i get 60 to 90 grams of protein daily.

I hope everyone gets to experience the joys and happiness i feel i am 7 pounds down from my last post and 3 inches lost.

Honestly i find my eating & walking / exercise played a humongous part at my weightloss.

How was your 6 month followup? Would love to know.

I want to do a meet & greet so if there are any Ontario people within the GTA or Peel that want to do a meet and greet and talk about ways to encourage and eat clean .. That will be great. Let me know.

Till next time

You look AMAZING!!!

I meet my surgeon tomorrow, and the countdown is on until surgery!

Wow, you look great! So happy for you!

Congratulations! You look amazing. I just had my doctor referral last week. I'm also in Mississauga. I'm waiting for a call for my first appointment.

Do you remember how long it took from referral to your first call? Where were you seen? I believe I'm going to Toronto General?

Thanks for inspiring with your journey.

Hi there oneatatime.

I am going through Toronto Western. It took almost exactly 6 months from the day my referral was faxed to getting a call for my first appointment

Wow Lisa! That's a long time. Amazing that you're well on your way now :)

Thank you for replying!!

Thanks 4 the kind words.

My referral was a bit different as i had 2 refferals sent in. Nevertheless I sent it in June and got a letter in the mail in October for November. I was sent to Toronto Western hospital for my orientation.

Good Luck.

Thanks! Wow... that's a long wait. But look at you now!!

You look amazing!!! Congrats!!

Which surgery did you have? Did you have any complications after surgery? What was the hardest part of your journey so far?

Hi

I had a Gastric Bypass (Rny)

I have no complications. The hardest part was the first month post op as gas pains were extreme for me. I was in alot of pain. Getting in water till this day is hard as the water is too "heavy" and hurts my stomach everytime i drink it. It only doesn't hurt when i add Crystal Light. Sometime u have to force yourself to eat as you have no desire or urge for food.

I lost very quickly i have alot if loose skin. But i do not regret this at all. I feel like i have my life back loose skin and all.

Everyones journey is different i lost alot in the first 3 months.

Its best to take advantage of those 3 months as things slow down a bit after. Do alot of research to see what best for you. I took the first 3 months very serious and ate as clean as possible.

Good luck
