I was sleeved 9/16, and I also feel like I am losing slowly...but like you guys said, slow and steady is better :)

Starting weight: 264

Surgery weight: 253

Current weight: 232

I know I shouldn't pay attention much to the scale, and I wish I would have taken my measurements so I could also track inches lost. I've already had one stall on the scale, but my clothes are definitely looser. I'm putting off buying new clothes as long as I can though... don't want to spend a whole lot of money on clothes that I won't be wearing very long.

You guys are doing great!

You are too. Kinda weird but I can't wait for baggy pants. ????Have a nice day- ️AllofMe.

I'm only down 1/2 lb in the last week and I started working out... Lol

My doc and NUT said I'm doing great. I guess I had more "hefty" expectations of early weight loss.

Can't complain really, I weight less now than I have in 8 years.

I'm just really anxious and excited to keep losing!!

I am hearing you, my weight loss is very slow and steady.

Considering I am eating probably a quarter of what I use to eat.

Arghhh

Hi all. I was sleeved September 18, 2014. The day of surgery I weighed 363 lbs. Today I weigh 315 lbs. I can't wait to get out of the 300s. I finally found a Protein Drink that I really like. It is called Isopure. 20 oz bottle is 40 grams of Protein. The orange and raspberry are good. I still can't eat many foods. I am just going to keep up with Vitamin & minerals supplements, fluids and protein and see how it goes.

Can't wait. It seems like it will never happen. Sometimes I wonder if my stomach is small enough lol or if the surgery even worked. I know it did, but sometimes with the slow weight loss I feel ill never get where I want to be. Anyone else ever have those thoughts? Not being negative, just impatient. Slow and steady I know. I've read that there are months or weeks where we stall and lose at a greater rate but I would love to have a good losing month. I've had the stall during week 3-7 lol. My weight loss is very slow but I'm shrinking. I think I should break up with my scale for a while.

I too have felt that maybe I got stuck with too big of a stomach or that I am losing slower than most folks. I have lost 20 pounds 6.5 weeks post op, and have not yet embraced an formal exercise routine. I started out at a lower BMI, and have no excuse for not getting on treadmill or bike. It is as if I am afraid to try cause I failed at exercise so often. I am going to try to download a motivational or hypnosis recording and see if that works.

      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.
