Weight loss after surgery



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery May 4, 2015 and I weighed 220lbs. On May 20,2015 My first follow up I weighed in at 206. I have only lost 4lbs since, should I be worried? What's the normal average loss?

Everyone is different. I've been in a stall for almost 2 months. I have had several stalls over this past year but they have only lasted 1 week. I'm going to go back to drinking Protein shakes 1 day a week & keeping a better record of what I eat. I need to drink more liquid. I hate Water so that's been a big issue & probably has something to do with my stalls. I refuse to give up!!

@@kitty66 today is my follow-up and I will be 1 day short of 4 weeks post (I was sleeved 5/6/15). I have been at a stall for 5 days. It happens, I have lost weight too many times to NOT know this but still.....I am hoping doctor will be happy with my progress. I am working hard for the Water in-take :/

      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.
