Am I Losing Enough?



Recommended Posts

I am 5 weeks and two days post op.. I've lost 32 pounds but for some reason I just feel like its not enough! I have had no problems other than sleeping and I hate Protein Shakes but I think I am gettin an obsession with the scales! How are others doing at 5 weeks?

In five weeks I've lost seven pounds. So shaddup!!

Just kidding.

I really have only lost seven pounds. I'm doing what I'm told, except perhaps enough Water. I'm hoping upping that will help.

Down 34lbs since preop diet (started 4.5 weeks prior to op).

Yeah. I'm a bit bummed.

Everyone loses differently. The heavier you are and the more weight you have to lose will cause you to lose quicker then someone who has less to lose. I am 10 weeks post op and have lost 48 lbs. I sometimes too feel that I should be losing more but then realize that it is just good to be losing anything. Kewep up the good work and try not to compare yourself to others.

Glad I am not alone. I am 4 weeks out tomorrow. I have lost 26 pounds since pre-op and sleeve on April 10th. I am dying here. The scale does not move.

I have even been able to eat a medium piece of talapia. I am wandering if I am doing something wrong. Everyone else seems to be losing more.

I do have a thyroid issue and I am working on stabilizing it with medication.

It makes zero since to no lose since I would have have eaten the entire house and now just very small meals about six times a day either tuna or talapia.

Help?

      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.
