sleeved 7/1

HW: 310

SW: 297

CW: 254

56 total lbs lost, 43 since surgery....feeling like a slow loser, but I am losing!

Don't dispair. I am right there with you. Surgery on 7/29. I am still shy of 50 pounds lost (2.5 more pounds to go to 50 total!). It has been a slow process for me. Several stalls and several weight increases along the way. Getting more serious of exercise seems to be the most helpful weight loss assist since my surgery. With the addition of regular, hard exercise I have been on a 1/2 pound loss per day for most of a week. Wow. I'll take it. My sore muscles feel otherwise!

I don't know about the rest of you; but I don't like this new site. Can't find any of the threads I was part of. Many posts I have tried to reply to, I get "you are not authorized...". Does any one like this new site???

On a better note...

Had my 4-month (almost) post-op appointment today:

Surgery date 7/16

Surgery weight - 222

Current weight - 176

Weight gone - 46 lbs.

Goal Weight 125 - 41 lbs to go. Over 1/2 way there. Yay!!!

Losses are slow but steady. Finally dropping clothes sizes. All is well and I remain on target!

Thought I was right on track until reading this thread, but now not so sure....Some of you have had much more impressive losses.

By the numbers:

Starting Weight: 379

Current Weight: 321.6

Total Loss: 57

Long Term Goal: 160

In general, I feel good about my rate of weight loss and am feeling better. However, I need to work harder at getting in all my Protein, especially since I've added in weight training to my routine at the gym. I just missed my first mini-goal of losing 50 lbs by my birthday (October 15), but made it a few days later. Next mini-goal is 100 lbs lost by February 15...we'll see how I do :)

Just moved into the 220s today (well, just barely at 229.8). I don't remember passing through them on my way up, so it must have happened many years ago. Losses are steady and I'm doing well, but crossing over into a different category every now and then is more fun than ever. I still have a LONG way to go, but am keeping on course. Yippee for progress!

      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.
