I'm in the 100's! Anyone else lose this way?



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone! Hope your having a great day! I am 198 this morning! But a couple days ago I weighed 203. I was wondering if anyone else stays at the same weight for weeks and then wham... I lose 4-8 lbs. This is the way I have been losing weight since surgery 11 weeks ago. Are stalls normal so early on? I know everyone is different and I'm quite happy with the amount I've lost so far. Sometimes I feel like, o'h great, I'm going to be the only one this surgery doesn't work on. Then I realize, even though I lost most of my weight in the first two weeks, I have been averaging 4 lbs. a week over a 11 week time period. Ha,Ha! Anyways, I was just curious if this is normal! :) Thanks in advance!

I've been doing the same my whole 5 months so far. I actually get excited when I have been at the same weight for a while especially if the clothes aren't fitting the same because I know a WHOOOSH is coming!

I haven't had my surgery yet, but my last attempt to lose with low carb, I lost exactly as you say... weeks with nothing, then BAM, 4-8 lbs gone in a day or two... Mine always happened the week I started my period. Since that last big weight loss (and regain + some... sigh) I've had a hysterectomy, so I'm really curious what'll happen now...

I just wish my doctor would get my approval letter in the mail and we can get on with this! (My insurance said the letter was mailed out last Friday, I haven't gotten my copy, and I don't think my doc has gotten his copy yet either... I'm getting VERY impatient waiting!)

      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.
