Hi guys

A little advice please. Was sleeved 3/22/12. Since then lost 83 pounds. Everyone stressed I lost too much too soon. All bloods are perfectly normal and doc says will slow down when good and ready. It has slowed to about 1.8 pound a week.

Anyone else had similar experience.

Hi

I have lost 88 pounds since 13 March 2012 but I dont by any stretch of the imagination think it is to fast.In fact it feels like it has slowed down to a snails trail and I find it very frustrating.

I still have 40 pounds to lose.So for me it wasnt too fast.

How much do you still have to lose?

What was your surgery weight? What is your weight now? I think it really depends on how much you need to lose. Those who are heavier will lose more weight pretty quickly as oppossed to those who 'only' need to lose around 60-80. How do YOU feel?

You weight lose sounds great, I on the other hand have lost 50.4 pound since 4/11/12. The docs are happy but he tels me not to worry about the weight lost because the goal that I want should be reached in a year. He tells everyone the weight gain did not happen over night. So look at your inches and the weight on thescale make sure that you are eating health beause it helps with the changes. This way you would not put the pounds back on.

Good luck on your journey

I was sleeved 3/19 and have lost 83 which is only about half of what I need to lose. I think it will slow down as you get closer to goal weight. Have you added exercise into your schedule?

      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.
