Thanks everyone for the great advice. I also reached out to Halo Top and got a less than helpful response just telling me the difference between ounces and fluid ounces. The most useful responses advised to check the grams per serving on the container which I didn't even think of - the serving size on the one I've been eating (Cookies and Cream, yum) says it's 3 servings of 2/3 cup each and then in parentheses 88 grams which is the key. One ounce in weight is equal to 28.3495 grams, so 2/3 of cup in weight is equal to 5.33 ounces which on the scale would be 151.103 grams. So by using the scale and measuring straight ounces (4 ounces) I'm getting 113.398 grams which is actually greater than one serving. To get one serving I should be measuring out 3.104 ounces which equals 88 grams in weight. Or at the very least I should be tracking it properly if I continue to do a 4 oz serving.

I am 1 week shy of 3 months. Started at 260, have lost 35 lbs so far. I am a slow loser compared to others. However, take this with a grain of salt, everybody loses at a different rate. Depends on gender, muscle mass, exercise, calory deficit, etc.

Post op Eating/drinking
Pete-TheTimeIsNow replied to Dcsjoc's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
During the first couple of days post-op, I did the same. Had lots of gas from the op. So I walked a lot around the house. I would drink and walk, rinse and repeat. I am almost 3 months out, and I am not sure I feel hungry, at least the same way I had before. If it's been a long time since I had food, I get a distant "I feel like I should eat something" feeling.. but not the gnawing feeling of hunger pre-op. -
Surgery is scheduled for March 30th. I am excited and nervous. Anyone out there sw 250 that can share 3 month post op stats. Sent from my Pixel 4a (5G) using BariatricPal mobile app

Periods (women only please)
catwoman7 replied to Ngotsleeved's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
yes - it's related to the surgery. It affects your hormones. A lot of women experience screwed up menstrual cycles (and/or have weird moods) for the first few weeks or months after surgery. Estrogen is stored in fat cells, and the theory I've read is that it's released during rapid weight loss (don't know if the latter part of that is true, but it IS stored in fat cells, and lots of women DO have hormonal issues after surgery because of it). It'll eventually stabilize and things will be back to normal. I don't know the answer to your second question, though. -
Periods (women only please)
ShoppGirl replied to Ngotsleeved's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Many women have messed up periods post surgery. I had breakthrough bleeding for several weeks (on the pill but not on period days of the cycle) in the beginning and a few days out of The next couple months. It took a few months but it went back to normal. -

My doc here does a 2 week intensive slimming diet with a product like Slimfast. The doctor also said that it's 6 weeks off work but I figured that was because of the different work regulations. -

Had my surgery on Monday 1/25 and I had a 2 week pre op diet of 2-3 shakes and a protein and vegetables for lunch. Sugar free Jello for desert if needed and 64 oz water. And clear liquids day before. I think the pre op diet is a great way to start getting yourself into the mindset of you aren’t going to be eating a lot… I lost 16 pounds on the pre op. As for time off the dr is giving me 6 weeks because of the physical job of being a lineman. It’s only the beginning of day 3 and so far so good!!! Good luck with your surgery. -
Hi all, Hope you are all doing well. I am 5 weeks post-sleeve and take the pill as contraception. I take this back to back and don't usually allow myself a period (this is totally safe). For the past few days I have been experiencing heavy painful bleeds, do you think this has anything to do with the sleeve or weight loss? Does the sleeve have any bearing on how medication (the pill in this case) is absorbed by the body? I would appreciate any help/ advice! Thank you!!

My preop diet is 1 week of full liquids. There are also some things I was told to cut 2 weeks out (NSAIDS, caffeine, alcohol. . . ) This varies for my doc based on BMI. I start my liquid diet tomorrow. I work outside sales. I drive around all day. My Surgery is on a Thursday, I go back to work the following Wednesday. My doc said some go back to work after 4 days. I am getting the sleeve done. -

I was a bit bummed out last week. I had to start my liquid diet on thec14th and my birthday was the 17th. So no cake or dinner for me for the 1st ever in my life; booooo diet. I didn't want to wait but I should've scheduled February. I was scared this new strain of covid might get worst and close the hospital`s from non evasive surgeries. -
We all lose at our own rate. Some are slow losers, others fast. Both are fine. Your weight loss seems great so far @rgwtwins. About 40lbs over 10 weeks is about 4 lbs a week. That’s pretty damn good. Celebrate those pounds you’ve lost. Yes, stalls can be damn frustrating but they do happen & unfortunately can occur a few times. Usually a stall will break in its own time without you doing anything different. If you’re worried, meet with your dietician just to ensure you are not missing something. Sometimes a small tweak will kick start your loss again especially if it’s persisting for more than 4 weeks. Yes @Cheryl A, the higher your starting weight the faster you tend to lose at first but it will slow. If your medical team is happy with your rate of loss, enjoy your weight loss too. It’s probably a bit of a shock but you’re doing well.

whoa! Im at 12 weeks just behind you and im down 61lbs! Thats sounds alot compared to you. It concerns me this is too quick! My dietician hasnt said anything negative about it. But i started at 317lbs. im guessing thats why its faster? Cause im more heavy? I still cant make my 64oz of water Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

I have a surgeon who requires the strict pre-op diet. I fear my surgery getting postponed due to an insurance battle happening in GA. (The thought of prolonged protein shakes makes me nervous.). You raised an interesting question about time off of work. My doctor’s said one to two weeks. I would love to do one but worry about lack of energy. -

Yea the pre diet is so different between doctors some are strict with 2 weeks liquid like mine 🤬😂 some have protein shakes for 2 meals then a lean meat and veggie for dinner and some none until the day before like yourself. As far as work I am taking the full 4 weeks off. I have a sit down job but I am going to use that time to focus on healing and just on myself overall, something I haven’t done in many years. -

CowboyKurt replied to LilaNicole20's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Thanks, J'anna, I did take another covid test and should get the results in a day or two. Still very exhausted. I had my first follow-up with the surgeon's office today. They were pleased with my current status. They feel the sore throat was caused by the endotracheal intubation tube which is common. They also felt I am so exhausted due to not taking in needed protein. I have been doing the protein clear drinks and today they wanted me to restart the chocolate protein drinks as they have more protein content. I have been trying but just taking two sips is making me so full and wanting to cough it up due to how think they are. I am to do the shakes for one more week then move to mushy food. Right now I'm mixing some water with shakes to cut the thickness. I will keep on keeping on hopefully it will get better each day. -

I had sleeve surgery five years ago. Went from a high of 392 down to 315. I am 6’7” but still to heavy. Since Covid I’m back to 345. I know I need to shed pounds. My cholesterol is high and I am pre diabetic. On Thursday I have my Bypass surgery. Needless to say, im nervous. I know rare but I worry about complications but I believe complications from my weight outweigh it. Anyone else having surgery this week? -
I also had a lot of the same issues that you're having. A few days after surgery I started having pain on my right side of my back then it went to left side.I assume its gas. It subsided after a few days. I wasn't given a binder but I had one from a previous surgery. It's a lifesaver. It took me 2 weeks out before I was able to lie down in bed. Good luck on your healing.

Speed of eating - does it really matter when you know your limit??
Pete-TheTimeIsNow replied to Spinoza's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
A new study came out a couple of days ago that found that chewing slowly makes you lose more weight, burn more calories. No idea how much. I am close to 3 months out and have this same problem. I am eating at the same speed as pre-op. I (try to) make sure I chew to small bites, otherwise, I can get discomfort, but otherwise, 90% of the time I am not paying attention and scarf the food down.. -
you're losing a lot faster than I ever did. and as far as the four weeks, you're most likely in a stall. They usually last 1-3 weeks, but a month is not unheard of.

It’s been 1 year today since i had RNY bypass surgery, i’m down 4stone 3 pounds, would like to lose another stone ideally but seems like i’m stuck at this weight have been for the past 4 month, can’t budge any lower, so happy with my loss though.
-
Thank you. I agree it’s a lot. I am just frustrated that it’s going on 4 weeks without losing.
-
Are you listening to yourself? "I've only lost between 39-41 pounds in 10 weeks." That's FANTASTIC!!!! Have you ever lost that much before in that short amount of time? Doubt it. The process is working. Stalls happen. Exercises affect muscle mass. You've got this. Don't worry . . it's all good. Keep up the good work!!!
