Need Ideas How To Lose Weight!



Recommended Posts

O it's been 2 weeks since surgery! And I've only lost 7 pounds! I am not able to eat eggs and mashed potatoes. I am walking but no extra exercises! So everyone else who had their surgery the same day has lost much more, around 19-31! I had a lot to loose. I was 127kg before surgery and now I am 120kg and I should only weight in at 70kg. I am 5"9

I am on medication due to an infection but other then that I am good! I eat eggs in the morning and Soup or potatoes at night. I eat yogurt for a snack. HELP

Hi there, we all lose weight at different rates. You probably know that.

You are also on a medication due to an infection, that could be messiing your metabolism up.

Don't give up

Remember 7 lbs - is 7 lbs. closer to goal

:)

Things will get better, they really will. Eating so very little, following dr. instructions you can't help but lose.

best wishes

kathy

Hi :) please never use the word "only lost " instead say I lost 7 lbs :) . I think 7 lbs is a lot in 2 weeks . Try to not compare yourself with others . We are all different .

Is funny how much we want this weight to come off so fast but it took us years to put the extra weight on . The weight will come off , do not stress yourself . Stick with the sleeve rules and you will success. One day at a time . You are doing fantastic , good luck .

If you are down from 127 kg to 120 kg then you have actually lost almost 15 1/2 pounds since there is a little over 2.2 pounds per kg. before you get discouraged make sure you are converting the numbers correctly.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
