Is my body done and happy?



Recommended Posts

I had the sleeve done on May 2nd. Starting weight was 214.4. I have been bouncing between 149-152 for the past month and a half. Can't lose anymore! I'm trying hard! Is my body happy where it is? I am very please with my weight loss. My goal is 140

The bigger question is are you happy? You can keep losing and you will if you stick with the program.

Congratulations, sounds like you have done amazing!

I do think that our bodies get plateaus where they feel "happy", but you will push past that eventually if you keep trying as hard as you are. But do you need or want to? I think it's probably best to go with what your BMI is and what your surgeon says, and of course what you think looks and feels good. If you are a healthy BMI and your surgeon is happy, then I don't see why you would need to keep going unless you really want to.

I had my surgery a month after you, weighed a pound more, and I'm stuck at 180 so you're doing awesome. Keep doing what you're doing and your body will eventually lose the weight. Maybe you need in up your Water? I know that's been working for me and kicked me out of my stall.

Good luck!

      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.
