6weeks out and slow loosing



Recommended Posts

So im 6 weeks out from surgery and ive only lost 40 lbs! Is this a low weight loss for 6 weeks??? I was hoping to have finally hit 50lbs or over by now. Also my weight keeps shifting between 2 and 3 lbs for the past week, is this normal???

ha ha...I am with Trenya...I don't expect to have lost 40 lbs by 6 weeks...I am hoping to reach 30 lbs by then, but I am at a stall right now for the last couple of days--that is discouraging

At my 1 month post op, I had lost 15 lbs (according to his records... He had my pre-op weight lighter than my scales.... 24 according to mine). He said he wants to see me at 25-30 lbs TOTAL LOST by my 3 month check up. Seriously? I hope I hit that goal by Month 2! You are doing GREAT!

Angel Eyez......That is a great weight loss! My surgeon told me average weight loss is 20-30 so 40 is great! Congrats!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
