7 weeks post-op and only -22 pounds :(



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone Im 47 days post-op I got my sleeve Jan 28 and I am feeling a little down I dont know whats going on my but I am only down 22 pounds. I feel really bad because I have changed my life for the better but still feel fat and unhealthy. I workout and I eat right and I am still fat now I am going through buyers remorse. Maybe the Bypass would have been better for me either way I cant eat more that 3 or 4 ounces. Just venting........

Dont feel bad. I am 11wks out and im down 34 since surgery. Think about it, would you have been able to lose what you lost on your own? Me? Probably not. Thats why i did this.

my surgeon says everyone is different and i am doing fine with my journey.

Don't feel discouraged, you will lose, everyone losses at a different rate. Try switching things up a bit. Less carbs, more Protein. I find I loss more when I cut out my carb intake, no bread, Pasta, rice, potato's.. and eat more protein. Fish, Turkey, Turkey Chili, tuna, Egg whites.. You will do great, it will come off, don't stress.. :)

I agree with Shyv, you would never be able to lose on normal diet. Don't get on scale for awhile and keep on doing what you've been doing, it will keep coming off. I am 9 weeks and down 30# since surgery, and only losing about 1# a week. I am down from an 18 to a 12 so I'm happy with that:)

I have to focus on the fact that I am losing!! Maybe not as fast as some but it is going down!! Sure I want results like others have!! But either way my ultimate goal was to go down and I am!!! Keep doing the work and trust it will happen as it should!!

      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.

      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.
