ncgirl0510 4 Posted October 2, 2016 Good afternoon everyone! I had my surgery on June 30 and am now 3 months out. My surgery weight was 247 and I'm now down to 205, so I've lost 42lbs so far. I feel as if this isn't that much weight in 3 months and that I should be losing more weight than this. What do you think? Also, I'm being told my the nutritionist that I should be eating 3-4ozs of Protein at my meals but I'm still having a hard time with this. I can normally eat between 2-3ozs before I start having hiccups which to me is a sign I'm done. Having a hard time figuring out my eating? I've been going to the gym 5 times a week. I feel as if I'm on another plateau because I'm not losing weight. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Travelher 915 Posted October 2, 2016 42 lbs is fantastic! Celebrate that. I would be ecstatic if I were down to 205 in 3 months. My surgery is Tuesday and I'm starting at about 244. Stalls happen. In my experience that is when I'm losing the inches. I'm going from a band to bypass or sleeve. I'm not setting myself up to expect a loss as fast as yours.

higher 966 Posted October 2, 2016 I think that's a pretty significant weight loss and you should feel proud. Keep working the plan because it's working for you. If you hiccup and 2-3 oz do not push it. Maybe you can add an extra 2 oz Protein meal to your day. Ask your nut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KRW1920 0 Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) So I'm stuck at 23 pounds loss since surgery. I'll be 2 months out on tomorrow. I'm envious. Edited October 4, 2016 by KRW1920 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ncgirl0510 4 Posted October 15, 2016 Travelher, thank you for the encouraging words. I hope that your sugery went well and things are going good for you. Higher, after reading these replies I'm going to just be happy thato I'm losing the weight. I do drink a few ounces of Protein still for a snack in the am & pm. Still trying to get in more than 2 ounces of Protein at a time. Thinking it's just going to take time. KR1920, I had a stall early on within weeks of my surgery that lasted about 3 weeks so hopefully your weight loss will start back up. Just keep at it. Thanks again everyone! 1 KRW1920 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
