Concerned

I have read a lot of the blogs and am wondering if I am doing things wrong because I have not stalled yet. I am 18 days post op and am still losing weight average about 1 to 2 lbs a day. What is wrong with me or the diet that I have not stalled?

 

I weighted 341 when I started this journey, before surgery I lost about 14lbs just by changing how long it took to eat my meals. They didn't tell to diet before surgery just thought I better get in the habit of eating slower. Since my surgery I have gone from 337 to 305 another 32lbs down. I am trying to do all the right things but am having trouble getting all the protein in. I have been using shots of protein to make up for what I am not getting in the shakes. Could this be the cause of NOT stalling I wonder.

 

I was told I could have soft purred foods at 2 weeks but they don't seem to light my new stomach at all. The food just lies there like a lump making me want to throw up.

I have found that if I eat just 1 meal (an egg) and 2 shakes a day I feel much better. Is this wrong? I don't know.

 

I don;t see much difference in my body shape, but I need a rope to keep my pants up lol. I did however manage to get into a size 26 pant compared to my 28's the other day, "Yeah" and my shirts are a bit loser so I guess that is a good sign.

 

My health was the reason for taking this journey. I was and still am in bad shape. The best news ever was the fact that I no longer have to take insulin shots everyday and my blood sugars are in the normal range again ( low 100's ). I am still concerned that I have not been able to swallow any pills yet, as I do have meds that I should be taking. My blood pressure and moods have not yet improved much, but that is because I can't take those pills yet. Oh well step by step day by day with Jesus is all I can hope for right now.

 

So much for my boo who;s today. May God bless and Keep us all healthy and continuing to lose in the New Year.

i am not sleeved yet but from reading on here you are actually one of those that are blessed with not having a sudden stall. Do not look for something wrong. Everything you pointed out sounds very positive. Sounds like God is blessing you with exactly what you need at the time, enjoy your ride. Also congrats on the downsize, soon enough those 26's will fall of even with the rope. I can not wait to be sleeved!!!!!

You are doing wonderful!!!!!

i have been sleeved for about 2 months and have lost almost 70 pounds and have not had a stall. when i spoke to my nutritionist she said it was fine. she advised me that people with larger amuonts of wieght to loose generally loose more quickly. within 2 months i am off blood pressure medicine, off back pain medication, and walking better. i would not focus on why you are not stalling and keep doing what your doing. remember protien is key so get in as much as you can as often as you can. Congrats on your weight loss. Stay positive, every pound is a tiny victory.

I am in awe at the amount of weight you have lost in only 2 month way to go. I have lost as of today 34lbs, I agree every pound is truly a victory, I didn't put it on in a day and it won't come off in a day. (My moto is step by step day by day with Jesus, this is all I can hope for right now this minute.)

I have not had any medication since 2 days before surgery. I was taking 7 pills a day plus a shot on insulin in the evening. I have NOT had ANY of my meds since surgery as they didn't want me to swallow any thing big. Thank you for your words of encouragement they really help.
