Recommended Posts

Today is my 8th week since my surgery. Two months. I've lost 32 lbs. Although I am so happy with the weight loss, I expected to be a bit further. How is everyone else doing? How many cals, and how much are u working out? To all of you around the two month mark, congrats!! We have survived so far. ;) for those further ahead, what where your stats at this stage?

I started at 262 lbs, currently 229 lbs. Eating 600 cal a day. Walking 20 min a day.

July 17th here, down 30 in seven weeks. I'm getting in closer to 1,000 cal/day because I'm working out 5-7 days a week, cardio and weights.

July 12th here: I'm down about 40 pounds and I'm not getting to the gym as much as I'd like (once or twice per week), but I do walk quite a bit at work. I've been eating 600-800 calories a day. I'm very happy with the weight loss, but I also thought I'd be down a lot more after the first two months. Not complaining, but I was expecting a HUGE drop in the neighborhood of 60 pounds after the first two months and then thought I'd taper down after that. Overall, I'm very pleased with my sleeve and am learning to be patient and enjoy the pace.

I was sleeved on July 11th... down 34 pounds so far. I try to exercise at least 4 days a week but it's sometimes hard with kids, work, etc. I thought I would be losing faster than I am, I seem to be losing about 2.5lbs per week. But then again, how many people can say they lost 34lbs in less than 2 months! Hoping to be at my goal by the end of the year! Good luck to all of you and keep up the good work! :)

I also was sleeved on July 11th.

I am down 34 lbs so far. I eat between 700 to 1000 calories per day, depending on the extent of my workout. I did have a bit of a stall for a few weeks. I have found that eating a bit more seems to stimulate my weightloss.

Also within the last couple weeks, I have finally been getting my Protein in consistently.

I think my weightloss is little slow, but It always has been. No frustration, I'm just plugging along doing the best I can.

Congrats to everyone on your continued success.

      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.
