3 months Post Up HELP!!!



Recommended Posts

I am feeling great I am down 95 lbs since I started my weight loss journey and 56 lbs down since I got sleeved.

I am still in my third month and I have only lost 5 pounds!!!! The first two months was great because I lost over 20 pounds each month.

I am pretty sure it has to do with what I eat. It is sooooo hard for me to eat. I am trying to get to 80 g of Protein each day and keep my carb intake as low as 20g a day. When I do eat, I get full for hours and thought of Water makes me want to puke so it is hard to drink water as well. I need some advise ..

Is 56 pounds in 2 and half months ok? or am I just crazy?

Your weight loss is excellent. There's no problem here. You have to be realistic; you won't lose 20 lbs every month until you hit goal. Some months will be better than others.

You're doing fine with weight loss, but if you aren't hitting your Water goals regularly, you're going to definitely stall out. You need lots of water to burn fat and to get it out of your system. If you get yourself up to 80-100oz a day, you'll see a big difference. If you can't stand water for some reason, add some lemon and/or lime to the water with a little salt (sea salt or Himalayan Pink, not ionized, processed table salt) and some stevia for flavor. In cruch, use some crystal light--it's processed chemical crap, but it won't trigger an insulin response in most cases so from a purely weight loss perspective it's generally ok (not from an overall health perspective though).

You're fine. I had surgery the same day as you and have lost around 48 lbs since surgery. I find it helps me to calculate my average weekly loss. I'm still losing nearly 4lbs/week average. That makes me feel better about the week I only lost 1.5.

      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.
