redhead_che 824 Posted February 11, 2018 Surgery was 11/28, started at 225 and now I’m 182. My first big goal is to get to 170 and have a sip of wine as a treat since it’s been over 2 months out and if it goes horribly wrong, I can still dance around and be happy about the weight! 2 meech513 and GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bee_xo 2 Posted February 13, 2018 Including the pre-op diet im down 50.5 lb, sleeved November 10. Does this number seem low to anyone else or am i being too hard on myself? Expectation from dietician is to be265lb by May 10 and am currently 325lb, that seems so far away and unachievable, thoughts? 2 sinead and GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Expectation from dietician is to be265lb by May 10 and am currently 325lb, that seems so far away and unachievable, thoughts? Quite frankly, tell your dietician to suck eggs! None of my medical care staff - surgeon, doctors, nurses, dietician, general practice - have tried to put a number on my goal. They have asked me if I have one, and I do not. My body will decide what is right, and the natural pace at which it will happen. I am not going to remain so strict to burn myself out on some unachievable diet again...that is what put me in the place to need surgery. I am still maintaining my losing streak, but I am enjoying the new tools at my disposal and learning a new life style of being thinner. I eat at my designated times during the day, drinking all my fluids, and getting all my Proteins. I am also getting some carbs now as well. Sometimes I have a bit too many, and I pay for it because I cannot eat as much (bread takes up a lot of space). I have even had a few bites of dessert. I do not do snacking outside of my meal times, no sugary drinks, and pretty much no added sugar of any kind if I can help it. It is all about the balance and what is achievable with my schedule. It is working for me, and I could not be happier. I also had surgery on Nov 10 - sleeve and duodenal switch. I am down 75lbs including the 20 I lost in the 2 week liver reduction diet before surgery. For the first 2 months I was insanely strict with myself and it paid off. I am a little more relaxed now, but still losing week by week. I still weigh in daily, but I do not get scared when I go up a lb or two or stay even day by day. At the end of the week, I am losing inches and lbs. 1 meech513 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maryvsg87 164 Posted February 15, 2018 I had VSG on 11/20/17 and since the pre-op diet that was 1 week before the 13th I am down 54.6 Lbs. People might think that's low other maybe not but in reality I am happy with whatever because before surgery it was hard to lose it and if I did I would gain it back and I know I am not gaining these back. For those who think they are not doing enough or good you are doing amazing! I've seen pictures and read success stories already. Keep pushing you got this! I know I haven't been in here in a while but I am happy for us all who took this big step! Guys I am also excited because I am telling my story on YouTube. I wasn't sure if I should share it here but is 2018 and so far it has been good to me and I hope you guys love it. I'll leave the link below. Love you guys! 2 BusyMom945 and GlennaMary reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
