10 wks out and only lost 26 pounds from SW.



Recommended Posts

I really don't understand why I'm not losing like I should. My starting weight was 296 and now 270. I get all my Protein and Water. I workout twice a day and nothing. Has anyone experienced this? Will it get better? I'm feeling maybe I should have had the bypass

Only 26 pounds in 10 weeks? Only??

Yeah. You should give up. You are totally doomed. :(


KIDDING!! You are doing great. Focus on the good. Twenty six pounds in 10 weeks is NOT a slow loss. Seriously. I promise.

You are seriously talking nonsense. I am NOT kidding there.

A true stall is three weeks of NO scale movement. Not up, not down, NO movement. You've not had time to stall being only ten weeks out much less "stall like crazy".

I don't mean to minimize your feelings, it's OK to feel the way you do, but that doesn't mean you aren't speaking nonsense. :D

Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process of losing a substantial amount of weight. None of us lose at a constant or steady rate.

One thing that I am curious about is that you are working out twice a day. That may be excessive depending on what you are doing and what you are eating. Have you talked to your NUT and/or a trainer about making sure your nutritional needs are being met and that you have enough rest/recovery time between workouts?

Slow and steady is always good. I Stalled after two weeks. I was working out everyday and actually not getting enough calories once I played with that a little I started losing again about a pound to a pound and a half a week (average) grab a 26 pound bag of anything and walk a quarter of a mile and say only 26 pounds. I think you are doing amazing. I had to learn quickly this is my journey and not to compare to others. Just thankful I am on the journey.

Even though you may not have had a problem before surgery, I would still recommend you talk to your NUT to make sure you are eating enough for your exercise intensity.

      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.

      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.
