Weight Loss Has Slowed But Inches Lost Have Added Up



Recommended Posts

So my weight loss has slowed I am about 183 (cant change my weight on here because my patient profile page is all alt text?) however, I did measure myself which I had not done for a bit, and I have lost exactly 60" that's SIXTY INCHES...in other words the entire tape measure. I made a circle out of it. It was the circumference of a oak tree. A large oak tree. Wow. Yuck, that's quite the load off. I get the wow you have lost some weight, or they cant remember where they know me from..it must be the minus 82 pounds and sixty inches that can transform your look a bit. I thought I would love the comments of wow you have lost weight, I don't mean to sound unappreciative, but its feels a little condescending sometimes. Geez I wasn't that big was I? Ok maybe I was..:(

Congratulations! You have done a fantastic job and I have no doubt your looking terrific!! I am the same way with the compliments. If you are losing inches then you are still losing even if it's not showing up on the scale. I would imagine since you are down to the last 40 pounds then it will come off slower but the inches keep doing the job!! :)

      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.
