4 Weeks Post Op

Well tonight I weighed in at 281lbs. I'm getting quite frustrated with my weight and I am only 4 weeks post op and have lost a total of 24lbs. 21 of which were in the first 2 weeks. I am hoping that I can get a boost on losing this weight.

 

I am having issues keeping up with my pills and sorts and really need to kick myself in the arse to get taking them. Also, I've noticed the last two days m protein intake has slowed. I am scared I might be falling in to old habits. I certainly hope not though.

 

I just ordered some of the protein shots and am looking forward to getting those for a variety as I have just been having whey powder in water....boring lol.

 

If there are any of you out there that experienced a plateau straight away, please let me know how you handled it. Also, I am looking for workout regimes. I have gone to the gym 2 last week and a few walks, as well as one morning jog/walk for 30 minutes total. That killed me lol.

 

A few questions:

 

1. When did you start ab workouts and how much?

2. How many times per day were you eating after one month of being sleeved?

3. Did you suffer from constipation and if so, what did you do for it?

 

Thanks everyone and I hope you all had an amazing Easter weekend.

 

Cheers,

Renee

I'm sorry I dunno what to suggest, but my heart goes out to you because I know how frustrating this can be. Are you getting your water in? And for constipation, my dr's suggested Myrolax. I haven't done that yet (thankfully), but imagine it's coming. Are you tracking what you are putting in your mouth now? If not, do so!

I did the same thing My doc calls the 3/4th week lost weeks he said your body is just getting use to the lower food intake I started losing weight again the following week.

I find it helps to average the loss. 24 lbs in 4 weeks is 6 lbs a week. When was the last time you were able to do that? Your body is adjusting to tremendous change. Send it love! Magnesium is good for 'movement'... perhaps your surgeon would approve adding that to your daily supplements.
