3 Months, 42 Pounds and going SLLOOWWWW!



Recommended Posts

So I seem to be losing 10 pounds a month (including my preop diet). I started at 240, so not too terribly high, but I'm out three full months now and only down 42 pounds. I need to be down another 18 pounds by the end of september to be ready for my breast reduction/lift and I'm so nervous! I have been running 3-9 miles a week trying to push it so hard but the slowing down is killing me. I'm trying to remember that it's not just weight, but measurements and muscle. I lost 6 inches in my waist last month so i know I'm shifting weight to muscle, but it's hard not to feel discouraged.

How is everything going for my fellow April sleevers?!!?!?!?

I ws sleeved 5/15 and down 38 lbs.

I sometimes wonder if my lost amount is low or just right. I am not having any problems.

I started around 240

I think 10pounds a month is fine. That's what I've been averaging. It's frustrating to see people doing more, but it is what it is, I'm losing and not gaining. The office says I should average 1-2 pounds per week and I'm doing that and then some.

I think if you keep doing what you're doing then it's reasonable to lose almost 18 pounds then by the end of September.

Usually an egg prepared whichever way or cottage cheese for Breakfast along with my Syntax nectar Protein Drinks (24 grams for 100 cal). Mini baby bel lights for Snacks. chicken or some other Protein for lunch, maybe with a small salad or some other veggies, and similar for dinner. Fairly few carbs, goal is to hit 60 grams of protein a day which I track on myfitnesspal

Yes that's definitely true for me too. I'm very good during the week but on the weekends I'll have a treat here and there. I do workout about 3-4 hours a week including running 3 miles and hour long dance classes but I hope just pushing through will help. :). Gotta slap myself on the wrist and get back on track. :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
