Down 52 lbs and holding



Recommended Posts

Hey all! I got my sleeve on 11.8.17. As soon as I got onto soft foods I stopped losing for a couple of weeks and now I feel after dropping my initial 50 lbs i am stuck again. It’s been maybe 2 weeks and I’ve seen no changes. Is this common?

I may be comparing myself to others I know who have had it done and didn’t have issues losing early after their surgery.

wow - great job. I haven't gone through the process yet but I hope to have 50 gone 3 months after surgery. What was your surgery weight?

Hi there! I had my gastric sleeve done back in 7.28.16, my starting weight was 257 and I’m down to 140. Have you tried walking? I have become very active and it helps me to continue to lose weight. Also, how are your food choices?? Try and eat more veggies and fruits, they’re easily digested. I’ve sorta been following a clean diet too, I feel it’s been working for me so far.

Thanks for the advice! I currently eat no fruit, but do eat veggies with Greek yogurt as my snack. I have been walking more and riding my bike around. Started back up at the gym, but I haven’t been able to make it yet. Until I do, I’ll try and just step it up then. Thanks!

Hi, everyone seems to lose weight at their own pace. I was a slow loser, but lost 100 pounds in a year around 30 before surgery and 70 afterwards. Have patience, keep to the program. Don’t get discouraged. You can do it.

@Frikinanni

yep, looks like you are definitely comparing to OP

KNOCK IT OFF:D

never,never, ever compare your stats/progress to

others. you will drive yourself crazy. you have lost

52 lbs - party dance, party dance!!

we all loose weight within different time periods.

that's ok. continue to eat right, drink, Protein etc -

you will arrive at the finish line. No hurry! - but

you must keep following the "rules" for the rest of

your healthier, happier, longer life.

i know you will be successful!! good luck

"God Grant Me Patience, Just Hurry Up About IT":rolleyes:

      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.
