How much did you lose in Month 3?



Recommended Posts

By month 3, I was losing about 15lbs a month. Months 1 and 2 were the biggest losses, averaging about 19lbs each month. My doc wanted me to stay on track to lose 12 - 15lbs a month and eat about 800 - 1000 calories a day. And walk at least 30 minutes a day. As I say, I'm not a fast loser, and I'm not a slow loser, I'm a half-fast loser. :D

I'm losing one pound every other week. I go to the gym and do aerobics and weights. Seems pretty slow to me, but glad I'm still losing!

Thanks for posting this question, this morning I woke up feeling discourage. Since my surgery on Octorber 29th 2014, I have lost only 10-12 lbs. I work out when i can and expect to see some changes but nothing. I keeping hoovering around the same weight. I am not going to give up. I have to do somehting to shock my body. I am happy that i have gone from a size 22 to a 18 that feels good. When I fist started the whole ordeal I was at 276 now at 235. We will get there. I will come off. I am open to any suggestion that anyone may have.

I just finished month 3 and lost around 9lbs. I'm hoping I can continue to lose 8-10lbs a month over the next few months.

This was a really good question.... one I wanted to ask also but I don't know how to post a question yet.

My surgery was October 22nd 2014 and I am down 38 pounds. The scale hasn't moved much lately and I was getting a little concerned!

I am disabled with back, neck and joint issues.... so I haven't exercised or began a walking regiment yet. I did order new sneakers and I think I'm ready to start walking at least!!! Maybe that will get the numbers moving a little!

P.S.

My skin is starting to itch now. No rash or hives though! Has anyone else experienced this?

More Protein. Protein is a metabolic booster in itself, so make sure to hit your protein goals.Ad some good fats, get your body used to burning fats for energy. Your body will eventually start turning to the fat to burn.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
