Frustrated morning I guess



Recommended Posts

I am 9 weeks post op and I am down 34 lbs. SD was 12-7-12 and I weighed 283 today 249. I feel great knowing that being that I am losing!!!

I am sure I am not getting ALL daily Protein in but its still a work in progress. For the past month I have worked out 5 days/week.

Is this an average weight loss or should I have lost more? I guess I am feeling a bit like my progress is slow and I am not going to be where I want to be by the time 6 months get here in this rapid WL phase.

I am slowly losing. I am3 months post op. I went whole month of December without losing anything. Lost 4 pounds first week in February and haven't lost any this week at all. It is scary when you see people saying 6 months for the majority or rapid weight loss. I still have about 80 more to lose. I don't see inches either. I went close shopping because I noticed the 16's were a little baggy so went to try on smaller size nope!!! Wont fit so had to get size 16's again. It is disheartening and yes I get angry because my surgeon strictly told me I would lose 100 pounds in the first 4 months.

I'm 7 months post op, I lost a total of 72 pounds , I been at 150 since Nov, my scale won't move, only goes up 4 pounds when I'm on my period. I been sticking to the small meals and working out. The doctor told me its normal to stall, I went from a size 17 to a 7/8.

We all need to realize that we have to let our bodies decide. Its going to take time, and there is going to be a point when we stop losing. We can just keep up with the plan and let our body sort out the rest.

You are so right my surgery told me stop trying to lose 10 more pounds . He tells me I look great at 150 , I'm happy with my weight I'm just trying to tone up now and I'm sure that will get me to my goal of 140...

You are right! I am going to of course stick with it. I just woke up this morning feeling blah and as if I was not losing enough. But losing is better than gaining. I have lost this weight so far because I have been doing what I am supposed to. So the scale will catch up! Im just going to keep at the program and remain positive. Thanks for your message

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
