I am not losing like I thought I would be!



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on May 29 and have only lost 8 pounds. I thought I would have lost so much more by now. Anyone else feel this way?

I lost 22 pounds pre-op, and then gained 12 of them back with the IV fluids in the hospital. It took me two weeks to lose that and then I hit the dreaded third week stall.

It was not until the second month that I really started to lose weight, about he time some people have lost sixty pounds already.

I am only hoping that the slower weight loss will help me to not be so baggy when I reach goal. I am doing my part with exercise, strength training and ab work.

I felt like I wasn't really losing at the pace I expected in the beginning. I was sleeved 4/6, and I have lost 46 pounds (including the pre-op diet.) So 46 pounds in 3 months. I will take it. Don't stress, follow your plan, and the pounds will leave you.

      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.
