I'm freaking out!



Recommended Posts

So I just wanted to see what you guys thought of my progress so far and if anyone had a similar experience..

My start weight was 230 pounds.

I was sleeved on Aug 25 and as of today I weigh 195 pounds. It just seems like I am progressing very slowly .. I am following a low carb diet making sure I'm below 1200 calories and exercising 3 hours a week...

What do you guys think is my progress within normal? I tried talking to my nutritionist and her recommendations were to just stick with what I am doing and I should see results soon enough.

Thoughts???

230lbs as starting is on the lower side than many others. It might be higher depending on your height and your goal weight, but it's still considered 'lower'. I've noticed that a lot of people starting lower seem to progress a bit slower, and I think that's normal. My best suggestion would be now that you're about 6 months out, focus more on vegetables, Water, and increase the exercise if you can. I do 1.5-2 hours every other day. An example for a meal (I eat about 6oz a meal now as I'm a bit further out than you): 4oz vegetables, 2oz lean Protein. The veggies are going to be what contribute to weightloss, the Protein just keeps you feeling fuller longer and helps with muscle gain/definition.

You are fine..one day it will be gone and you will wonder where and when it went. Gives your skin and fat deposits to even out too so think of it as a small bonus. If you stick to it you can't not succeed

I'm a slow loser too. Sleeved 8/23

HW 270
SW 252
CW 221

I've had a number of overseas trips as I recently retired, with wine once or twice a week which I appreciate slows weight loss too. However, I plan to persevere, and up my exercise. Have a bad back so has been mainly swimming and aqua Aerobics.

      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.
