How Much Did You Lose 3 Months Out?



Recommended Posts

I'm just over 2 months out. Surgery weight was 229 and now I'm 202, so 27 lbs, which seems pretty slow to me.

My Dr gave me permission about 10 days ago to eat very low carb (under 30g) and I've lost 3 lbs since then. I'm hoping low carb helps me lose a bit faster. Either way, I feel better and don't have hunger or cravings so I'm sticking to it :)

Apparently, I am as well.

I track everything and exercise an hour 6 days a week. Get my Water and Protein in. Oh well. I'm doing everything right and will continue to do so. Maybe our reward will be firm skin :)

I like the firm skin theory! Sometimes I am glad that it is slow because then I don't have people asking me questions constantly. If I dropped 60lbs in a matter of weeks, I would be fielding lots of questions!

Do either if you have insulin resistance or pcos? Hormone issues can make things slower ( at least in regular dieting).

Also could it be a function of the starting weight? I mean it makes since that a heavier person could lose more faster?

Either way, from where I'm sitting 30 lbs in 3 months is fantastic! Well done to you both!

I just looked back at my logs of when I lost the most. About 800 calories a day. I'm gonna try 800. I haven't been getting that many daily

I have PCOS, insulin resistance, and hypothyroidism. I'm surprised that I am losing so fast (64 lbs. in 3 months - I was 263 the day of surgery) because I have never lost weight this fast before. It was hard for me to lose any weight regardless of how much exercise I did or how good my diet was. While I keep my carbs low, 20-30 grams per day, I don't necessarily pay attention to my fat intake. I eat full fat cottage cheese and other cheeses, butter/margarine (when I do eat it) and full fat Peanut Butter. I do measure everything I eat, though, and include it all in my food tracker.

My skin is not too bad. My stomach and arms have some lose skin, and I'm sure it will get worse as I go along, but so far it's really not that bad. I do know I will have to have some plastics eventually.

Everyone is different and some of us just lose slower than others. It's not because you are doing anything wrong. As long as you stick to your eating protocol, the weight is sure to come off. Good luck, girls!

      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?

      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.
