Recommended Posts

I’m TRYING to not get down. I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s experienced this. But I’ve hardly eaten in a month!!! And since surgery only TEN pounds?! I don’t freakin get it. Yes I can tell in my clothes etc. but I’m following all the rules and not starving on purpose, sometimes it’s tough to eat but I’m doing ok overall but 10lbs is a joke I lost more than that pre op??? :/IMG_2505.JPG upper left 4 days post op. Bottom right most recent.

You are a "light weight", and can expect to lose more slowly than a heavier person. I weigh about what you do now, and am losing only about a pound a week. (I started out 60 pounds heavier than you, and am 6 months postop). As we get smaller, our bodies don't have to work as hard feeding the fat and carrying it around. Weight loss slows down.

I agree with berry. The smaller you are at surgery will mean you lose slower. I’m a month out and I lost 16, only because I had Water weight from having my period right before surgery. I took my measurements and as of 2 weeks ago I lost 2” in my stomach and 10” overall. Even though the scale wasn’t moving I was still losing. I have a pair of pant I can’t wait to get into and try them on once a week. I can tell I’m losing as I’m getting closer to fitting into them. Don’t get discouraged, I only lost 2 lbs on the 2 week liquid diet and was so pissed but the measuring tape told the true story! Good luck and it will happen

I agree with berry and Punkylynn. I only lost 6 lbs by the end of a month after my surgery. I probably like you didn't start off too heavy so we're gonna loose a lil slower than most. Your surgery is not a joke, you're actually doing rather well and will continue to do well if you do all that is required of you. I keep waiting to pull out that sz 8 jeans I have in the closet but I know it will not be till next year. Summer maybe. Keep up the good work. You're right on track.

I’m exactly in the same boat. 5 weeks post-op. Lost 20lbs Pre-surgery and almost 10 since. It’s very frustrating to see the same number day after day. People say not to weigh yourself, but that does not work for me. I know 2 lbs avg a week is good for Weight Watchers, but I did expect to be down at least 20 by now. Feeling a little low - I can’t lie.

I’m with you! I did a two week pre-op diet and had surgery 3.5 weeks ago. I’m down 21 lbs total, and most of that was before surgery! I did start with a BMI of 38 so the docs told me I would lose slower but it’s so frustrating! The numbers on the scale are not moving, however I have noticed my clothes are not fitting like they were. I was hoping to be down much more by now too. It’s so hard not to see that scale move when you feel like your starving yourself everyday!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
