9 months out....slow loser



Recommended Posts

I'm trying not to have a pity here be dang! I've been a slow loser from the beginning and have stalled several times for weeks at a time. Just frustrated! I have only lost 60 lbs IN 9 MONTHS. I see everyone else having such success. I'm giving it one more shot with working out and Protein and Water and all the right things, if nothing happens this time maybe this is the size I'm suppose to be.

Sleeved 3April 2012 and loss is 70lb. I know it is hard when you look at some postings on here and see the weight just drop off people in a short time but most of the time you do not know the full story.

I know my loss is slow but I am OK with that (it took more than 9 months to go on) and I am eating in a normal pattern (just less), eat out and have treats. I have joined a gym and my shape is changing.

When I started this journey I thought it would take me 1 year to lose the weight (100lb) but now I think it will take 15 months.

I find it hard to get all my Water in and I don't think this helps with the rate of loss. Give it one more big push, Protein first the veg then carbs, drink and exercise and see how it goes. Good luck.

Baseballmom, I think I have finally broke my stall! For the past week I have been working out, sometimes twice a day making sure that I burn at least 700 or more calories. I'll go from treadmill to circuit to the elliptical to insanity!!! In addition I'm having a Protein Shake for Breakfast and lunch and fish for dinner and a salad if I have room. Oh and I'm drinking way more Water. I'm now down to 207 hoping to onederland very soon!!! Good luck hope this helps!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
