How Slow Can I Go?



Recommended Posts

I am curious and a little worried at the same time. I was sleeved on 8/14 and to date I've lost 25 lbs. I know everyone is different, but I feel my weight loss has been slow going in comparison to other people on this forum. When I started this weight loss process, I weighed 224 and now 199. Am I going to be a slow loser or am I doing something wrong? I don't want to waste my honeymoon stage. :(. Down and depressed.

O BOY do I understand I was sleeved on 8/15 and it is taking WEEKSSSSSSSS to lose 3lbs...... I was doing walking with a friend but I broke down and joined the gym Monday. I have lost a total of 40 over 1/2 of that was before surgery!!! Dont give up. I was so depressed Sunday, my other half was worried he has not seen me that down in a long time

I talked to my nutritionist today..... I was sleeved on Sept. 17th..... I think the key for me is to physically measure out my food with a measuring cup and not eyeballing it. At this point I am allowed 1/4 cup of food that I have to eat over 20-30 minutes LOL.. eating one pea at a time :) I plan on buying a digital food scale too, not sure how much 2 ounces of deli meat is other than the fact that it is far, far less than what used to be my norm. :unsure: Get back to basics. I wish you well :)

      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.
