6mths since surgery no loss in 3 mths



Recommended Posts

My surgery was July 11 in mx. The first 2 to 3 mths were great. I lost 41lbs. Went from a size 26 to an 18. I've had no weightloss in 3 months. Calories are typically at 1000. I know I need to get more Protein in and workout but I feel like the scale is never going to move again. 6mths out I'm worried I've lost my prime opportunity to lose weight. I was a previous Lapbander and that wasn't successful due to complications.

???? just feeling like I've now had two weightloss surgeries and I'm still obese!!!

Anyone still lose a decent amount of weight after 6mths?

Yes, I lost about 40% of my excess after 6 months. Working out was primary in my program along with good nutrition, rest, and Water.

You can do it!

I had the sleeve done July 29,13 I starfed out at 266 , on day of surgery I was 242, today when I carried my husband to the Dr I weighed 198. Don't give up keep going making good choices and drinking your Water and exercise. The weight will start coming off again.

I lost quite a bit of weight after 2 years out! It can be done. The first 6 months are the easiest, but don't give up, the sleeve will still work for you later on. I still feel restriction if I do Protein first and add a couple of 16 hour "fasts" a week. (eat a early dinner one day, and eat a late lunch the next day causing a 16 hour fast) this helps me to feel the restriction in my sleeve better.

      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.
