March Sleevers..are You Happy W/your Progress?



Recommended Posts

I am finally going to add in some exercise to see if that gets my weight moving down. I got on the scale this morning and it said 199.8. I couldn't believe it, I was in onderland! I ran to get my phone so I could text the picture of the scale to my sister (who is also my sleeve sister) got back on the scale, 200.2. Got on 3 more times and never made it back to onderland. Talk about a short stay!lol

I'm sorry, but that is funny (your comment, not the fact that you didn't get to stay under 200). "Short stay" is right. I'm sorry onederland was so short, but maybe in the morning you'll hit it again. Keep us posted.

I was sleeved on March 18. I feel happy with my weight loss, but I have hit a stall, too! <_< Pre op I lost 16. My one week post op I had lost another 13. Since then I have lost a total of 33. I thought I would have lost more by now. I feel frustrated. I will keep going, though.

realwmnhavcurvs- I'm sorry to hear that you are not happy. Hang in there! I think I'm finally hitting my stride and I was sleeved on the 12th. I'm finally not as sad about food AND I am getting through the work days in one piece. The scale is moving slowly but surely for me. I hope things change for you.

I was sleeved on 3/9. My weight before my 3 day pre-op diet was 226, day of surgery 220 and today 202.5. While I am not UNhappy with my loss so far, I'm not thrilled either. No one has noticed my weight loss, I can still wear the same clothes, more comfortably of course ...but still. I just thought I would do better to be honest. How about you?

Well, I have lost 21 lbs so far and am at five weeks. I am ok with my progress, I think I could be losing faster if I was exercising more but I am having a hard time getting everything in (I have a super long commute to/from work which doesn't help). People tell me they notice, mostly b/c I am losing weight in my face, which I love, and I am pretty much down a dress pants size.

Everyone loses differently...I think it's a positive step and as long as I continue to lose I will be happy.

I was sleeved 3/26 and I'm 46lbs down but I see no changes. Every where I go people say oh you lost weight cause I can see it in your face. Damnmit can you see the weight loss anywhere else. That is what I want to say to them, but the only thing I do is smile.

So glad I decided to log on and read everyones weight loss. I had my surgery 3/28, first two weeks I dropped 19 pounds. Since then I've only lost two more pounds.It becomes very frustrating because I know that my food intake is obviously a lot less and I'm drinking a whole lot of Water. I just don't understand why the weight isn't coming off!!! I guess I should be happy with the 21 pounds, but wish it was more. I decided to not weigh myself everyday and limit it to once a week. I'd be happy if next month I can say I lost the same amount but my high hopes can't be expected, all of this is very trying at times

Hi! It seems to defy all logic when we consume 400 calories and do not lose weight. It's crazy. At six weeks I have lost a total of 23 pounds since surgery. I wish it was a whole helluva lot more, but it's 23 pounds. Couple that with preop weight loss and I'm doin okay I guess.

      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.
