Only 65lbs since surgery in May.



Recommended Posts

Hello All,

I had my surgery on May 30, 2014 and I've only lost 65lbs and now my weight is at a stand still. Help!

ONLY? 65 pounds in 6 months is an amazing weight loss. I think you are being a little unrealistic about your body's ability to keep functioning and shedding weight more quickly. Weight stalls are a reality of this process. Some people stay at the same weight for a month. If you are following your plan and exercising there is nothing else but stay the course. Know that I think you are doing absolutely great! Congratulations on your weight loss. you must be feeling so much better.

I'm in a similar situation but I also know that I'm not exercising enough.I have only been exercising on weekends and I need to do more during the week.

Go back to the basics (this is also me telling myself).

Drink lot's of Water

Keep a food journal (very important!)

chew a lot

chew small bites

Protein first

60-90 grams of protein/day

stay away from sugar and flour!!!

30-30-30 (the Water food numbers)

etc.

Best of luck. I'lll get back on track, too.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
