VSG Angel 13 Posted November 1, 2016 I'm a 44 yr old mother of 3. I was sleeved on 10/19/16. Pre op weight was 388 and im now two weeks post op and 370. I can't help but feel dissapointed. I feel like HOW is my fat surviving on this restricted diet??? Am I in freakn starvation mode????? And I was very hungry 24 hrs post 6and able to eat a bowl of browth and drink with no prob. Idk where that "2 spoon fulls and im stuffed" sensation is but I missed it. I do however get full from my Protein shakes thank God. It's like eat slow..loose fast is what I was expecting but it turned out to be a much slower pace Sent from my LG-H631 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2ndSpring 350 Posted November 1, 2016 congrats on the surgery Angel. Don't be disappointed - 18 pounds is so much weight!! that is about 2 1/2 newborn babies worth of pounds that you aren't carrying around anymore. And now you are on your way to your goal, and you body will get you there on its unique schedule. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sc101071 398 Posted November 1, 2016 You're doing great. I've found the surgery is not about losing fast as much as it is about losing consistently. Stick with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VSG Angel 13 Posted November 1, 2016 @@deeveg thank u and congratulations on your journey as well. But u see, I was fully expecting to be 50lbs lighter for my return to work transformation and my on purpose accidental bumping into my ex telling him to go to hell moment. This process needs to hurry along if I am to stay on schedule with my transformation/diss ???? Sent from my LG-H631 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

her1981 448 Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) LOL at your transformation diss... I was a "slow loser" from jump. The first 2 weeks after surgery I was only down like 9 pounds. I was pissed! But stay the course and in a few months you'll probably be down 100 pounds... Edited November 1, 2016 by her1981 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hammer_Down 631 Posted November 2, 2016 In my own previous weight loss experience, I lost 100lbs over 18 monthts doing Keto. 250 to 150, and I had virtually no loose skin. I only started working out at 15 months, and had already lost 75lbs so it wasn't because of working out. Slower weight loss may be frustrating, but in my experience it is better in the long run!
