Just looking for suggestions on how to speed up weight loss after sleeve. I'm 4 weeks post op. I eat more than I thought I would be eating. I'm 15 lbs down post op. 25 lbs lost total, including pre op diet.

You've lost 15-25 lbs total in a month. Would you really want to speed that up? That's greater than the safe recommended loss of 2 lbs per week.

Perhaps we could address your question if you told us how much and what you're eating and how much you're exercising, and your age, height, starting weight, etc.

My doctor suggested a food scale, it can keep you on track with your eating. Make healthy choices! Avoid snacking. :)

Hi all,

This is my first post. I am 14 weeks post op and have lost 44 lbs. you are doing fine. This is no quick fix. To be really honest I thought the surgery would do it all. Now know I have work to do. Will start walking every day this week. Be kind to yourself. I will be happy with 1lb a week. Job done in about 14 mths.

Eat only Protein like eggs, chicken, fish, ground beef, have no more than 20 carbs a day. This is actually most bariatric post op plans. Very similar to Dr. Stillman's quick weight loss plan from the 70's

One plan I read is 70-80 grams of Protein, less then 40 carbs and 700-800 calories.

      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.
