I only lost 3.8 lbs in July



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved July 8...starting weight 248 current weight 224 and I have been at my current weight for 2 weeks. I only walk at this time because I still have a little left side pain...Im trying to stay positive with it all and just let the weight fall off when its ready...I still have problems with food going down but it may be me not chewing correctly. Good luck to you all.

I'm going through something simular. I was sleeved on June 17th. I'm down 30lbs since surgery. The last few weeks I have been at a standstill and today when I weighed myself I had actually gained 3lbs! Im trying to

KEEP CALM

AND

WORK THE SLEEVE.

That's right...work the sleeve! And those three pounds can be the time of the month, excess Fluid, who knows. So next week be prepared for a nice loss, that has been my experience. It's gonna work!!!!

Yeah, you are right in that notorious "stall" time that a lot of people have. Just do what you can with exercise, track your food and follow your plan. :)

I do 2 days of Water aerobics and I just added 2 days of Zumba. Also trying to catch the treadmill and circuit weights at the gym when I can. If you have concerns where to start, I highly recommend water aerobics. It is a pleasure and I have not had one day where I have not felt like going. Once you get going with that, you will feel better about adding other forms of exercise.

Weight gain is caused by high Protein food and lack or exercise. Exercise and proper diet are very important to lose weight and improve fitness. Avoid all high protein food like meats, nuts, grains, cheese, fast foods, fried and dairy products. Eat fresh fruits, vegetables, yogurt, drink green tea, fruit juices and plenty of Water. Go for walking, running, cycling, practice push ups, bench press and chair squat. It improve mood, burns fat,make strong bones and muscles, boost energy, improve heart functions and improve fitness.

I'm a slow looser and is fine with me as I am only 6 lbs to my goal weight! After the first 4 months I have been averaging a weight loss of 3.4 - 4 lbs a month for the last 5 months. Remember it's a marathon not a sprint, you will get there!

      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.
