Wow everyone is doing great.

I am 10 weeks post op.

Starting weight: 297

Current weight: 250

Total lost: 47

I am losing slowly but never in my life have I lost this much weight. I am so glad I had the surgery. No regrets here. I couldn't have done this on my own. The most I've lost on my own is 30 pounds. I actually can't fit 90% of my clothes. Thank god I had some too small stuff in my attic so I really didn't have to go and buy anything. I bought a few pieces just because. Lol.

Week 3 and no loss this week so sad

I also had a period of no weight loss in the beginning. My surgeon discussed this with me and we found I was not consuming anywhere close to enough. My body was in starvation mode. As you are able to add more to your diet, your body will adjust and the weight will come off. Hang in there, you will make it!!

How do you get in enough calories? I barely eat 500 a day and it's frustrating trying to get more and still eat healthy!

Can you do the Friday weight in even if you have not had surgery yet?

[Ellie_Grace 271]

Totally!! Everyone is at a different place on their journey so we Celebrate everyone's successes and support them through their issues! Pre- op or post- op

My doc says I need to shoot for 800 per day. I'm still not quiet there every day, but prior to my discussion with him, I was lucky to hit 150. Now that I can have regular food, it is slowly getting easier. I have found that I love milk again (1%) so that helps when I need Protein and calories. I also really try to eat have five small meals per day as he recommended. eggs, thin cut deli meat, cheese, and reduced fat peanutbutter are all things that I have found sit well with my pouch and provide both protein and calories. Once I started eating, I started loosing. I also downloaded my fitness pal App. On my phone. It helps me watch my calories and my protein. At my one month mark I was down 30lbs. My doctor said to slowly start trying foods, chew till mush before swallowing, and only get on the scale once a week at most. So far, so good.
