Calling all slowish losers--please post your losses so far!



Recommended Posts

I am so glad you are doing this! Just one week post-op, so my losses are minute, but this is a great thing to see for someone who is not dropping 21 lbs in a week! Thank you!

And today I am 200.

As if to illustrate what I posted last night: I have been stalled for at least a week and posted last night that I was 214. I got up this morning and weighed and I am at 211. I love my sleeve.

Sleeved April 17 start weight 214, today 186. I didn't lose much the first month. I lose about 2 lbs a week which I'm happy with. Better to be going down than up!

Surgery date 3-14-13

Starting weight 216.6

Current weight 190.3

I feel like I'm losing sooooo incredibly slow. But I've never been able to say I've lost 26 pounds in 2 months so I'm trying to stay positive. I must admit I haven't been super diligent about working out. I eat approx 700 calories a day. I'm having a bit of a hard time adjusting to food. Still learning what my new stomach won't throw up. Yuck. I recommend taking photos. When you aren't seeing progress on the scale' date=' it helps to see inches lost (unfortunately I didn't take my measurements so I've been using photos).[/quote']

You look fabulous!

I'm 6 weeks out and still haven't lost anything beyond the first 2 weeks. :( I'm also having a lot of trouble with retaining Fluid in my lower legs. I've never had my legs swell up like this before (to the point where the skin is actually painful), so I'm hoping it's not anything surgery related. I see my primary care physician on Monday so will be talking to her about it.

      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.
