How much have you lost 4 weeks out?



Recommended Posts

No not really. I've just been eating what I'm supposed to and staying away from the junk...I haven't even started exercising yet. I think my success so far at the weight-loss is only due to my failures before surgery; if you know what I mean :redface: I weighed in at 403lbs before surgery, so I have quite a bit to lose.

i will be at 4 wks post op tomorrow (banded 4/20)and I seemed to have stalled. I've lost 27 lbs since pre-op. I will have my first fill 6/7 and am ready. Would have been earlier but we're taking a week vacation out of state next week and dr. didn't want me having potential problems in another state! I'm ready for restriction. I am hungry about 2 hrs after eating. I'm still making good food choices 99% of the time. So maybe this is Bandster Hell!!!

At 4wks post op I lost 25lbs... 35lbs from my start date. But my BMI is on the higher side so that accounts for quicker loss. On me I can hardly see that loss but I feel better & I'm more in shape. I was really excercising daily the first few weeks & have since started to slow down (old habits die hard!) But I definitely watch what I eat now that I'm eating regular food with 0cc in my band. I'm happy with any loss as long as its not going up! First fills next week I'm looking forward to the feeling of satiaty bc willpower runs out eventually! =) Everyones different so don't compare yourself too much!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
