New to gastric sleeve



Recommended Posts

It has been 7 weeks since my Vertical Sleeve Surgery. Before Surgery, I lost 20lbs. The day of the surgery I weighed 309.5, today I weigh 286. So 23lbs. Since surgery. I exercise almost every day and I have followed the diet plan almost to a tee. I am a bit frustrated because I feel it should be more weight than 23 lbs. what can I do to lose more? Is there something I am doing wrong? I have stayed at 286 for at least 3 weeks now.

I'm 6 weeks today. I'm on my second stall and have lost about 32 pounds. Par for the course I'm afraid. I'm doing everything I am supposed to. Patience is all. Basic math. It will happen.

That is more than 3 lbs a week, that is not bad at all. Some just lose a lot faster than others so dont compare yourself you will only get frustrated believe me. Plus you have to add in what you have already lost and how long that took to see the big picture. My advice though is to try and stay under 30 grams of carbs and eat healthy solid Proteins. I have only lost 50lbs in 6 months,30 more to go. I did have less to lose than others might have, but I know still that I am a slower loser, but that is okay less saggy skin and I really think you will have an easier time keeping it off in the long run. Don't get discouraged though, you are doing great! Hang in there and in a year from know think where you will be :)

You're right on track. I'm about 10 months out and have only lost 55ish pounds and still follow my diet religiously. You'll get there. Patience is key.

I am 4.5 weeks out and have lost 19 lbs. I lost 20 preop. I feel great but wish it would happen faster. But I can already tell a huge difference......it's just slow enough to feel like forever but it actually happens really fast.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
