8 Month Gastric Sleeve Plication Surgery Update



Recommended Posts

sorry I have not been on the forum at all this month, I hope you are all doing well.

I only lost 4 pounds,

Booo.

why did I keep sneaking that halloween candy? I learned I can eat a lot of candy without feeling full.

I think that puts me at 60 pounds in 8 months. To me this is not very good weight loss for someone who had WLS. I enjoy exercise, I am addicted to jogging, and I am still not dropping weight very fast. I wish I had the VSG, but I am still greatful for the progress I have made thus far. I have a way to go yet (41 pounds), but I feel really good. Sexy even. ;)

Congratulations! You're still going in the right direction! And, even though we think it should be more than that with a weight loss surgery, would you have done it without the surgery? It's helped, whether it's fast or slow weight loss. You're doing great!

FTP is right. Moving in that direction is all that matters. I get so pissed some days when I know I've made the right choices and I see no results. For days. Or even weeks.

I try to keep in mind that my doctor's nutritionist says that 4 lbs per month is what to expect in general. You're losing almost double that on average.

I struggle with that number. Seems like it should be more. Don't beat yourself up for what you consider Halloween mistakes.

Keep at it.

Update....only 3 pounds for the month. I am 9 months post op, and only down about 63 pounds now. I have 38 pounds until I reach my goal.

You are losing 7 lbs per month on average. That's great.

Don't be too hard on yourself, but keep pushing. There are apps tracking food intake and exercise. Maybe one of those could help?

You can do it. Keep at it.

      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.
