Only 25 Down, But At Least There Are 25 Gone!



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on May 24 of this year. The first two weeks, the weight came off vigorously! I wish I could say the same since then. Fortunately, a measly 25 lbs makes the biggest different already in how I feel physically and mentally. I am steadily losing ounces day by day, so at least I've not gained or completely stalled. Keeping the faith!

These are before and after pics so far! The one in the silver dress is before.

You do look great in both pictures... You are very beautiful, very stylish. I too had surgery on 5/24 and have also lost only 25 pounds and in the same manner... First two weeks were a major drop, a pound here or there for the next week and a half and nothing for a week now. It's a little aggravating because I'm impatient but I'm positive it will get moving again. If I lose slowly like this for the next year I will still be happy. Are you exercising? I started about 2 weeks ago but not intensely. I'm amping it up this week. Just out of curiosity what are your stats? I'm a shorty @ 5'2". Started at 215 and now I'm 190. My starting BMI was 38. I'm not sure if that's what the consider a low BMI'er or not. Good luck to you!

Hi! I believe my BMI was also 38 or 39. I am 5'10 and started at 270. I am at 245 now. I started Zumba three days a week two weeks ago, and I started losing weight a little more quickly.

      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.
