1 month quick weight update



Recommended Posts

Yo it's Crosswind of the 30 day weight loss diary marathon. I have not been weighing myself but today I went to the POOL ( yay) and swam around ( yay) and then weighed myself (...)

scale says: 254.

That's a 35 pound loss in roughly a month.

I don't feel that much thinner but physically, I do feel better. I can just maneuver around much more easily, bend over, swim better and faster than I did a few weeks ago. My blood pressure is down about ten points and my plantar fascitis/achilles heel thingy is improving.

I'm posting this because before, when I had a stomach, I would sift through these boards looking for weight loss updates. I wanted to know: how much weight can you lose in a month? How much in two months? How long til you're thin?

From what I can tell a month out won't make you thin but there are other major benefits :)

Thanks for the update. I'm afraid I'll be a much slower loser - first, because I've been getting 60+ grams of Protein and over 400 calories since I was a week out (still at 75 grams and about 500 calories, but only at week 2); and second because I have an adrenal condition.

I'm just relying on the fact that if I put out more calories than I take in, sooner or later I'll lose. But man, if I could lose 35 lbs in one month I think I'd be dancing in the streets.

Congratulations!

I thought the same thing. I'm really so focused on liquid and calories and nutrition, plus I have an ear infection and I'm on my second round of antibiotics ( yes, careful reader, I am careful in the pool and use earplugs for an airtight head cabin) , plus I am really still unbelievably f**king bummed at my ex-husband so I decided not to pay much attention to the scale. Bottom line: Something's got to be rearranging itself in there.

It's good to be lighter but I'm sure I'll slow down eventually. We all do.

But after this month I do suddenly have hope that I will see 170 again in this lifetime. So there's that!

35 is fantastic! Good on ya! Have you measured? When the stalls come, you can see the measurements going down when the scales don't....if one number is not complying to your wishes, the other just might.

How long til you're thin?

THAT is the million dollar question! :confused2:

Everyone here is so different. We have different start weights, different heights, different metabolism, different eating habits, different surgeon's rules, I think you could poll 100 sleevers and get about 80 different answers. lol. I feel like a million bucks having lost -60lbs in 6 months, but then I come here and see that someone has lost -100lbs in 3 months. Does it make my loss less significant? NO WAY!

Congratulations on your loss! May your scale continue down on your journey! :biggrin:

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
