Amost 6 months out and only lost 70 lbs



Recommended Posts

I am just a few days aways from being 6 months out, and have only lost 70 lbs. At first I was loosing weight like crazy and it seems to have really slowed down to a crawl. I read about people being 3 and 4 months out loosiing 100 plus lbs. I may be doing something wrong!

70lbs in 6 months........

Umm, freekin AWESOME!

How many years prior did you diet and lose and then regain?

How successful a fat loser were you previous?

Better question: Have you worked on getting your mental state right? Are you prepared for the golden first 6 months to be over mentally?

Based on the stats in your profile, you're doing more than great. If you start at a relatively lower weight, you're not going to drop the same numbers of pounds as others...

That's just under a stone a month... That's exactly what you should be losing - according to my nutritionist.

That's 5 stone in total...

I'd be having a freekin' party if I got to that - and we have very similar stats.

      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.
