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 !!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
