Brennerss 1 Posted November 17, 2019 Hi guys! I had my gastric sleeve surgery on Sept 12th. I finally weighed myself today (I have avoided the scale and focused on feeling good and getting familiar with my new stomach) and am officially down 50 lbs since my surgery date. Is that enough weight to have lost so far or should it be more? I just want to be sure I’m on track. I know I will eventually hit the dreaded “stalls” which is why I don’t really want to be a scale watcher. I have started to slack off on the super healthy eating I was doing and I’ll tell you what.. that makes me physically feel like crud! The high Protein, no breads, pastas, sugars, ect diet plus my Multivitamins had me feeling great. Now I’m noticing the icky old feelings creeping back a bit. The only thing saving me is the literal inability to eat very much at all. Anyway, rambling aside.. I’m sure I will be able to do well & feel good as long as I get myself back to the good old routine I began after surgery. I haven’t even begun any form of exercise and I have a desk job.. so that’s another thing that’ll help with more weight loss once I get my Buns moving! 🤣 1 FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Love it finally another person who is not jumping up and running to the scale - and is focused on Vitamins and supplements. Oh i agree you move off the healthy eating to just a little of junk and you feel like hell - I drank Friday and wrecked my whole day yesterday, No eating yesterday, feeling like hell - As for 50 yes that is great you are about the same as me 3/4 a pound a day. Also I can not eat either it is a pain in the ass to eat and most of times painful Edited November 17, 2019 by AJ Tylo 1 FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
