Not sure if I'm losing enough.



Recommended Posts

I had surgery on 3-23 and loss 24 lbs since the surgery. I've lost 36lbs total since the 2 week pre-op diet, and Tomorrow I go to see my doctor for the second time since surgery.

Am I on a good path here or am I not losing enough weight for the 7th week post op.

Anybody else on a similar path or any input?

Thanks!

You dr didn't give you documentation showing the stages of weight loss for a year ? For me my dr put a 30lb loss for the first 3 month target and 20lb every 3 months following

No they didn't. They just advised on what to eat. He did say that he wanted me to drop 70lbs total but not in any particular timeframe.

This really is s conversation you need to have with your surgeon. You should be fine as long as you are following your program.

Weight loss is such an individual thing and there are so many variables, I really can't predict what your surgeon expects.

Good luck.

I was sleeved the 22nd of March, one day prior to you :) . As of today I have lost 35 pounds.

I agree with the other comments. Everyone is different.

My surgeon did not give me any monthly goals but also told me I had to loose 70 pounds (but no time frame).

Stay your course you are doing GREAT !!

      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.
