lynziv 32 Posted February 11, 2015 What was your weight loss at 6 weeks post op? And what do you feel contributed the most to your weight loss besides having the gastric sleeve? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PirateGirl 14 Posted February 11, 2015 I will be 6 weeks on Thursday. So far I've lost 21 pounds. Weight on day of surgery was 245. I'm trying hard not to compare myself to others, as I see some who lost way more (and some less), but they may have been at a much different starting point than me. As for what else contributed to my weight loss...not sure. I haven't been exercising much. I seem to lose more on days that I restrict carbs to minuscule amounts. How much have you lost?

Alesha34 4 Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) I was 6 weeks post op yesterday and as of this morning I am down 25 lbs. I have just started exercising this week. I feel like my weight loss has been a little slow but as long as the scales are moving down I'm happy. I was 255 on the day of surgery and currently 230. I make sure to get all of my Water and Protein in everyday. I limit my carbs and sugar. Edited February 11, 2015 by Alesha34 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oatmealgirl 56 Posted February 11, 2015 Hi everyone, I am 6 weeks out too. I was 267 the day of surgery and I'm 239 today so I'm 28 pounds down since day of surgery but 41 pounds down, including the weight I lost pre-op on the liquid diet. I don't know what the key is, other than the sleeve. I have no appetite, I do try to get in at least 67 oz of Water daily, but I don't eat much and when I do, it's usually Protein shakes or tuna or egg salad. I do struggle with eating every three hours but I'm doing what works for me. This week, I've added cottage cheese with blueberries for Breakfast as opposed to a shake and I've been exercising on my tread climber for 30 minutes at least 4 days a week. I'm happy with my weight loss and would like to continue to average 3-4 pounds a week however, I've decided I've done all I can do. I have had the surgery, and now, I'm just going to live, eat and pray! LOL Time is our friend and in 6 months I want to be one of the ones at a weight that I'm thrilled with, whatever it may be. Until then, I've decided to put my head down, eat like I intend to the for the rest of my life and let my tool do it's job. No more "in 3 months I'll be this, or in 8 months I'll be that" thinking for me. I'm sick and tired of dieting and I've decided to start living. Good luck everyone!
