"well that's me told ! "

[debbieb]

Went for a post op 9 month check and got told off by the dietician .. Why , because I had put weight on ?.. Or because I had stayed the same ?... NO , because I moaned at how much weight I had lost !!.. I was expecting to have lost a lot more..... SO i guess you are wondering how much I have lost in just over 9 months ? ...9 stone. And 4lb ... all I said was that it ?.. Lol, the reason being was that people who know me will know I had a bit of a rocky start after my bypass which required further surgery , and I was promptly told that I had lost 64 % of my excess body weight in 9 months and my bmi has gone from 61 to 36 .. My clothes size has dropped from a 34 to an 16/18 so I have halved in size literally , so I guess that told me !! ,
When I asked how much they expected me to lose by my next appointment they said they would be happy for me just not to put weight on ! , because I have already lost what they expected me to lose at 2 years post op , not at 9 months post op and I am already one of my surgeon's " high achievers "

Thank you .. I think it was because of my initial rapid loss that I was expecting to continue at that pace !... Don't get me wrong , I am still losing weight , but at a more stable rate .x

Hi

Be careful now as you will not only be loosing fat but loosing to quickly also affects you muscle tone as well and of the 9 stone you have lost a good stone of it would be muscle as well. I know this as I did it. Went from 21 stones to target of just over 14 stones in seven months and was quite week by the time I realised what was going wrong with me. I ended up drastically increasing my protein intake to help my muscles, and this has meant a few pounds put back on.

Debbie - I could not work out if you had stolen my identity then...LOL !

While I am a few stone behind you on the looser's bench - our stats down the left hand side are almost identical, we are the same height, started off a few pounds away from each other etc!! Are you feeling fantastic though? I can not believe how much better I feel in myself - mentally and physically! Well done you - who would have thought last Christmas you would be here like this this Christmas - well done!

With my Nurse hat on...as the others say, be careful, make sure you are keeping the protein high as you don't want to be falling over and breaking a hip or something like old people do!! Keep those weight bareing exercises up! xx

I am sure there is someone out there for you , take your time and enjoy looking ... I didn't set out to find mine , I was suppose to take my laptop to work to do some course work and found myself looking around in the internet instead !!... And look at me now !! ... There were a lot of sceptics out there who said it wouldn't work , but look at me now browsing jewellery shop windows !!... And my fella is so supportive , and as a strange coincidence .. He is a theatre porter and works sometimes in theatres where they do weight loss surgery !!, so he knows exactly what I've been through . X
