Guest guest Posted October 21, 2001 Report Share Posted October 21, 2001 Hi Everyone I am a week short of being 8 months post-op and thought I would share the results with anyone interested. I am 5'4 " and weighed 263/BMI 44 last Novemeber at the time of my initial consult. I lost down to 245 the day of my surgery Feb 27. My current weight (drum roll) 166, and my BMI has went from 44 to 29 (symbols clash). <smile> For the past 2 months I have noticed a dramatic drop in my eating habits. I find this amazing because I thought I would eat more as time went on, however the opposite is true with me. I really seem to have lost interest in food. I am attributing this in part to the fact that I am so active now,it causes me to lose my appetite so I rarely think about food. My goal is to get down to 125-130. I have one question for other post-ops. When I am very active such as even cleaning house all day or I get stressed, when I try to eat it feels as though everything inside of me is swollen and the food just won't go down easy. I avoid eating much that day because of it.My girlfriend who also had the DS by the same surgeon Dr Scholten says she experiences the same thing. Anyone else experiencing this?
