How much did you lose?



Recommended Posts

The first month oh geez, I think it was around 15 lbs. look for my posts I posted my my inches lost. I think the title is weight vs. inches. 6 months out from surgery I went from a size 18w pant to a 14 junior or 12/14 woman's pant size. Most 14's don't fit. In 3m period I lost 30 lbs. so basically I am averaging a 10 pound weight loss a month. It's slowed down now, and I have been stagnate but I am loosing inches.

I also had to get my wedding ring resized. It was getting to the point where I though it would just fall off. I was a solid 7 and now it's a 5 3/4. It's getting loose again but dealing with it until it almost falls off again and then I will get it resized again. The money you spend after surgery is crazy. Get to know your goodwill stores.

I have it in my signature, but the first month I lost 20/21 pounds something like that. The next month I lost a lot was month 4 but most months I lost in the 10 pound range. That includes lots of stalls. I had a period every 2 weeks for over a year and that made me stall out every month all the time. So I would stall/gain, then drop 10 pounds. It was not an every day or every week loss but it added up over the long term.

Don't rush the eating part it's an adjustment. And don't get frustrated at the 3 week mark. We all go through it. It's your body adjusting so weight loss is going to be stagnate.

You have to really listen to your body during the first few months. Everyone's full trigger is different my stomach and upper chest hurt when I was full. Now it's just right at the start of the rib cage.

      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.
