Recommended Posts

Im also losing slowly, what I started to do was revert back to my liquid phase, I had surgery August 20th, was 240, now 177, at first I was dropoing so fast my head was spinning, but then I got lazy and stopped getting in all my Protein so so the weight lost almost complete stopped, Ive been doing my Protein Shake diet for three days and have lost 3 lbs, only plan on doing it for a week then going back to solids and staying ontop of my protein, im not starving myself, I still get 600+ calories a day but lots of protein and Water definitely help

I'm 11months out and have always been able to eat anything, and also don't have the dumping. I've had an upper GI for a bowel obstruction and the pouch is there. Really frustrating

Windy, how much have you lost?

I've lost 50 lbs but have been at this weight for about 5 or 6 mo. I'm at 204 and can't get below that 200 mark no matter what I do.

Hi again guys. ..im using this thread as my weigh in area in case anyone is interested in the progress of a slower loser. I lost 2.5 lbs this week. That makes a total loss of 18 lbs from my morning of surgery 7 weeks ago.

My mission this week was to up my Water intake and I've manged 64oz everyday. I lost more this week than I did last week so that's great.

My personal goal for this week is to keep up the Water and also ensure I get a full quota of Protein in each day. Im going back to shakes as a supplement to ensure I reach the required level. Next week I take my 2 month measurements and also see my nut so that'll be interesting to see what she thinks.

I know many /most other RNY peeps have lost 25-40lbs by this 7 week stage....but im not letting that get me down. I'm choosing to remain positive and to focus on my own journey while also supporting others in theirs.

I take heart in the fact I have lost every week (even if some weeks only half a lb) and haven't yet encountered a stall. Im sure it'll come thou! Hope everyone is having an awesome week. :-)

Rachel - HW ever: 283, SW (day of surgery 21/10/13): 241, CW: 223

I'm a little more than 2 weeks post op. I was 323 the day of surgery and have now been sitting at 302 for the last 3 days. I'm not discouraged. My surgeon said a 2 week stall is completely normal. I think it drives me more crazy knowing I'm so close to the 200's!! Especially because I have a lot of weight to lose!!!

Im sure you'll soon kick that 300 and find yourself in the 200's before you know it! Understand the stall frustration...Before surgery I would diet and sometimes be relatively successful in getting down to 205 lbs. I was never able to get below 200. Not ever. I was 12 years old the last time I was in the 190's. I can't wait to see those numbers! Let us know when u break 300!

I'm cheering. I lost 1 lb in 10 days. I'll take 1 lb every 10 days. That would be 20 lbs by summer. Yeah I can see my goal!

      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.
