15 Days out and I've only lost 10lbs.



Recommended Posts

My pre-op weight was 183. I didn't do the pre-op diet. I wasn't disciplined enough to even do a pre-op diet. I had my surgery on 2-28-13. I am now 173. I am 5'2". My goal weight is 125lbs.

Although I am not hungry, I am craving everything. I have found that just smelling or licking the food will take that craving away.

Is it normal that my weight loss is slow? I thought I should have lost more by now.

I am having this problem too and after a while as u can eat more foods ur cravings well get better. I have hit a stall and havent done anything for a week and a half. Im exercising drinking and getting my protien in but still no weight lose. I feel like crying and very lost cause i dont understand what i am doing wrong. Hopefully we can find an answer. But i do know the food cravings get better

15 days out and only lost 10??? If I were you I'd put a phone call into the doctor.... Something doesn't sound right.

Yes but you are on the lower part of the scale. I had only lost 13# two weeks out. You have to take into consideration what people weigh. Someone that's 300# is gonna lose more and faster than someone who is 200#. I'm nine weeks out and have lost about 30# post surgery, but I am only losing like a # a week now. And I only eat between 600-800 cal. Don't worry it will come off:)

I am on the heavy end of the scale. Starting at 301... lost 13 lbs on my 3 day liquid pre op diet... lost 3 lbs 2 days after surgery (2/28/13) and then 4 more 3 days after that. Have not lost another ounce in 10 days!!!!! I was feeling very alone in this situation. I am doing EVERYTHING like i am suppose to so I have been VERY concerned. However, I KNOW that surely It will begin to come off. RIGHT?? It has to... I know I have never seen a fat person eat as little as I do. It just has to start coming off. :(

It really stinks when you start out in a "stall"... I am hoping thats what this is.

Ok I was joking on my first response....

But don't freak out you are doing perfect just stick to the plan and it will work. You cannot expect to drop pounds every day or every week! We had surgery not a miracle! :P

Give your body time to rest and readjust in between losses.

I wou'dnt worry about it. Everyone's body reacts differently to things. I had my surgery the 6th and am down 15lbs. I'm pretty happy about that, but i've read other people who are down 25 or more by now. I also agree with JP69. My best advice is to keep doing what you are supposed to, don't get on the scale for at least a week or 2. Focus on being healthy and not on dropping the lbs (hard i know).

After two weeks I weighed exactly the same as I did the day I went into the hospital. I was... very upset. But I started losing this week finally.

My cravings were rage inducing. Now that I'm on soft foods and can eat more foods, and slowly starting to accept how little I can eat now, the cravings are lessening. Still, the day I can have two bites of pizza, I will weep with joy.

10lbs in 2 weeks is great! Dont over expect and u wont be dissapointed. Not everyone loses at the same rate either so keep that in mind... if u werent huge... like myself... to begin with it may be slower. 10 lbs in 2 weeks though??? When was the last time that happened?

You no I was scared of that trap. Don't do that to your self girl. Protein Protein stay away from carby based foods. Keep away from the devil aka the scale. Look at the bigger picture. If you manage to lose 10 pounds a month you will make your goal in about 6 months which is amazing. Don't set high expectations I didn't it's a tool we make it or break it. You can do this walk walk walk and focus.

Good luck on your journey

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
