When You Were 3 Months Post-Op Vsg How Many Pounds Had You Lost?

[theoldmusicbox 399]

But I lost 47 pounds in 3 months the other was pre-op required by my insurance

that is still great. that puts you at about 179, right? ya gotta change your thinkin buddy. when was the last time that you were 179? the sleeve works differently for everyone. we knew before surgery that we weren't going to come out of the hospital with a hundred pound drop. it took us years to put on this weight, we can't expect it to fall off in 3 months. i know it sucks watchin the scale move (or not) very slowly, but hey, it's going in the right direction now! it won't be overnight, but it WILL be a reality that you make goal. i know it's dissappointing when you see other sleevers with higher numbers, but focus on the numbers that count. you have lost 47 pounds! that's freakin awesome.

on another note, have you been taking your measurements? when my scale stops moving, or is going really slow, it is those times that my body is doing other things. i went through a 2 week stall, where i actually GAINED 2 pounds (talk about wanting to throw the stupid scale out the window and drive over it repeatedly with the truck) but in those 2 weeks, i actually lost a full inch from my waist and 1/4 inch from my arms AND my thighs. then, the stall ended. there are a ton of things going on in your body right now. dont lose heart. you are doing great!

I gave current lost 98 lbs. My 3 month post op appointment is October 11th( OK, technically a few days past the 3 month mark because surgery was July 2 nd). I will probably lose about 5-10 lbs by then. I don't really exercise, but i do eat very cleanly and am strict about following "the plan" outlined by NUT and doctor.

I am 12 weeks out and I've only lost 31 pounds not lost any weight in 4 weeks

[It's all new 453]

I was sleeved 6/26/12 and I've lost 47 lbs since surgery. But 71 in total from my highest weight ever.

I started out at 245 and it took me three months to lose 45 lbs. I did everything according to plan - I stuck to around 600 calories, put in an hour at the gym six days per week, low carb, high Protein, lots of Water. You have no reason to be disappointed - if you are following the basic guidelines, losing weight (clearly you are)... What more could you ask for? I'm not sure where your expectation came from, but I think you should be very pleased.

How did you lose 98 lbs? I have not lost 30 pounds yet and I had on the same day. What am I doing wrong?

I tend to think it is the Protein Shake with Water i have before going to bed. Also, my exercise is pretty minimal at this stage as to not stress my body out too much with it already trying to figure if it is starving on the low carbs i consume. I also take a lot of Vitamin C daily to help with Vitamin absorption. My calories are between 600 and 800. I have noticed i can eat more now, but don't. I eat about 100 calories worth of Protein every 3 hours, with the exception of Breakfast where there is about 200 in shake because of light soy. I drink as much as i can during the day, usually 100+ oz. I try and sleep enough, but sometimes fail at this because of work. Overall i try and keep stress at a minimum in order to create an optimal env for body to relax and efficiently burn calories. I may be hypothesizing on some of this, but it appears to be working for me. Oh, and i do hit stalls and on some days i will lose 3 or 4 lbs. I just go with the flow and not stress over what is happening or not happening on this journey.

if that is really all you are eating you are likely in starvation mode. are you counting calories and your Protein? how many ounces in your shake? I would add another shake in there between meals.

Sleeved June 19th & down 38 lbs...

So what does everyone's surgeon say about how much you will lose. I am losing slowly and I am trying to figure out if my expectations are unrealistic or my weight loss is less than expected? Oh--and my scale is a fickle little witch.....
