Weight loss pattern, what's yours?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone.

I'm curious, do you lose weight every week or is it a week of loss, then nothing for a few? For me, I seem to lose very well the first week or so after a fill, then it stops. I don't gain, but I do bounce up and down and can't seem to get past that weight unless I have another fill.

Is that normal? I know I need to get back to a good exercise routine so maybe that'll help give me a more continual loss pattern. I just wondered if I was the only one dealing with this.

Thanks!

Well, I haven't had a fill yet, but I have lost weight every week since my surgery. Although, some weeks I will gain a couple, then lose them plus another 1 or 2 by the end of the week. I have not had a week where I have ended it with a gain, though, and I am happy about that. Especially since I am one week from my fill date, and I can tell I am pretty wide open. I hope I get good restriction with this first fill, so I can go back to "normal". The fact that I can eat bigger portions again is scary to me, because I do have trouble controlling that, hence the band!:nervous

I lose about 5 lbs in 2-3 days, then nothing for a couple of weeks. It's frustrating, but as long as I stay losing 10-12 lbs per month overall, I guess I have no right to complain....

I know it's hard, but try not to worry about it too much as long as the downward trend continues.

      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.
