3 months out an I gonna lose anymore



Recommended Posts

So I'm about three months post op and for the most part I eat good. Sometimes i slip up and eat stuff I shouldn't. I started at 276 now I'm 227. 30 year old male and I try to exercise hear and there. Last week I did 20 mins 3 days in a row on the elliptical machine. I've been kinda suck at this number and thinking I'm not going to lose anymore. My doctor said I'm right where I should be for how long ago my surgery was. 57 pounds down. I just feel like I'm not gonna lose anymore. Anyone else had this problem. What happened did you still lose. I hear some people say they don't even exercise and lose over 100 pounds. I'm 5'4" and probably should way around 160-180. If I hit 180 I would be shocked. Ok let the comments flow

During my 1st 12 months, I would hit a 1 week stall almost every month. More than once, I thought, "Is this it? Is this all I'm gonna lose?" It took a while, but I realised that if I just stuck to my diet plan and walking routine, the weight would start dropping again. But if I ate fruit or salty things like nuts, it would keep the Water weight on me.

I'd say add some strength training to your routine as well.

      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.
