The Journey Begins: Initial Weight Loss and Motivation

Adnana underwent gastric sleeve surgery and⁣ experienced rapid initial weight loss. In the first two weeks, she shed 8 ​kilograms, exceeding her surgeon’s expectations. This early success proved incredibly motivating, reinforcing her commitment ​to following medical recommendations.As her weight continued to decrease, Adnana reported feeling ‍more energetic, healthier, and increasingly positive about her transformation.

By late July,‍ just months after the surgery, Adnana had lost 43 kg and transitioned to a size 36 in clothing. Her physical ​changes were so dramatic that colleagues and medical professionals struggled to⁢ recognize her, highlighting the profound impact of the procedure.

The Importance of a Comprehensive⁣ Program: Ponderas and Dr. Bogdana

Adnana emphasizes the crucial role of both her surgeon’s skill and the comprehensive bariatric program at Ponderas. She contrasted her experiance with accounts⁤ of other patients who received surgery without adequate post-operative support, such as vitamin and mineral recommendations.

“the‌ hand of the doctor who operated on you is also very critically important and the bariatric patient program⁤ implemented in Ponderas helps enormously. I have heard of doctors who​ simply operate on you and that’s it, thay don’t recommend‍ vitamins, minerals, anything,” Adnana recalls. She specifically highlighted the rigorous follow-up ‍care​ provided by dr. Bogdana, ⁣requiring daily reports on hydration, blood sugar levels, and overall well-being‌ during the first month post-surgery.

11 Months later: ‌46kg lost⁢ and a New Lifestyle

Eleven months after the surgery,Adnana‍ achieved a total weight loss of 46 kilograms. She attributes her‍ success to unwavering discipline, diligently adhering to dietary guidelines, engaging in regular exercise, and participating in physiotherapy​ and physical therapy.

Initially, Adnana feared the elimination of favorite foods ​like sweets and pizza. However, she discovered that adapting​ to ‍a healthier diet​ was surprisingly manageable.She now avoids sugar entirely and prioritizes protein- and nutrient-rich foods. While daily temptations persist, particularly in the workplace, she has consistently resisted indulging.

Adnana recounts a single instance where she sampled a slice of pizza ordered for her family,which ‌caused ​significant ‌guilt. She promptly‌ shared this “deviation” with Dr. Banescu, who offered reassurance and ‌advised against self-blame or extreme ⁢reactions.
