when to expect the most weight loss



Recommended Posts

I'm almost 5 weeks out and can't work out until the full 5 weeks have passed. I have lost weight since pre op it has been really slow and I'm noticing I'm keeping a 2 pound difference of weight on me most of the time. I'm just wondering after my sleeve heals up and the swelling stops when can I expect to experience the most weight loss in my first year. To be truthful I may not be eating as much as I should and I get anxiety about the things I'm eating. I'm so tired of Powerade zero's and and crystal light at times doesn't really make me feel good after drinking it. To be honest even when I may nibble on some things I shouldn't be eating it doesn't taste good and I just try and stick with what I'm suppose to have but like most people carbs mess everything up for me. At times it seems like I'm going crazy because I had the surgery to assist me,and at 4 weeks and half I'm not feeling full as much as I used to. So after all my rants is there a certain time frame you can expect to see the most weight loss?

I haven't had mine yet but have started half liquid and half lean and green diet to help stop craving. I have a nutritionalist at my Dr's and can call for help if I get frustrated. Do you have a local support group you can go to? Stay on track and hang in there.

For me, my first six weeks was my most weight lose. I had my surgery in Dec. I am eight months out and went from size 22 to size 12. Everybody is different and will lose at different rate.

      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.
