Weight Loss, Slowly But Surely



Recommended Posts

So, as of post-op Day 6, I had managed to lose 15 pds. Yes, I know, that's not bad. Of course, all along I've tried to prepare myself in that the weight would start slowing down once I started eating a little more normal, and walking. I started walking about 2 days ago, and to my surprise (though it shouldn't be), I haven't lost anything in 2 days : ( Yes, I know, I know. I didn't gain it all in 1 week, but I have to admit, it felt good seeing the scale go down & down each day. So, I went ahead & measured myself. Thank goodness, it looks like I lost an inch in my waist, thighs, calves & boobs.

Ok, as long as it keeps going down, I will settle down.

Great job! I've lost 42 pounds in 4.5 months. I've hit a plateau several times. I track everything I eat on myfitnesspal.com, workout 5-6 days a week, and make sure I take my multi and Calcium. It'll pick back up soon! :) Good luck!

Your doing it the right way!I had my surgery may 9th in april my weight was 369.Today it's 278 before anyone says great job it has taken a toll on my health! Im on potassium and go for blood work tuesday if it's no better i get a stay in the hospital.It's not that i dont want to eat, it's after a half cup i get sick..Dr says it's a mental thing..What i've started to do is eat 6 times a day that gets me up to 800-1000 calories a day.The good thing is my blood pressure has not been this good since my 20's and i feel a whole lot better.While there have been set backs i'd have the surgery again!

      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.
