Weight issues after 6 months post op



Recommended Posts

If possible I would try swimming for exercise for a while. This is a great low impact exercise and easy on the back and knees if done right.

I am not sure I agree about not weighing every day. There is pretty convincing research out there showing daily weighing is strongly correlated with weight reduction and, more importantly, keeping weight off. If you weigh daily, then you know you only ever face a 1 or 2 day ‘diet’ in future, not a month or two as weigh gain got a bit out of control...




But I reckon different strokes for different folks. Some focus on the numbers, some on the waistband snugness!


Everyone is different. I weigh everyday. Rarely do I skip a day. It has been a routine for ages and keeps me accountable.
Some folks can’t handle it. I get that.

I am 14 months out and I weigh myself daily right before I shower. It keeps me on track. It is easier to lose 1 or 2 pounds than 5 or ten. I haven't work this hard to ever go back. Everyone is different, do what is best for you

How fast are we supposed to lose weight? Following my diet, walking 2 miles a day. Losing inches but scale doesn't seem to move. I am 3 weeks post op gastric sleeve. So discouraged.

“Losing inches...”
That’s HUGE!!! If not losing one or the other, you worry. If at least one is dropping off, you are so winning!

      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.
