AdiosAnnie300

I’m 46 and was sleeved on May 28. I have more energy with just 48 pounds lost so I can’t wait to see what I will feel like when I’m down more. I get frustrated sometimes that it isn’t faster weight loss. I wish I would have done it years ago.

I am 46 and can relate to the slow weight loss. I average 6 pounds a month and this week I gained 2 pounds! I am a surgical induced menopause patient since age 36 so I do think age and meno can slow the process. With my experience in endocrinology/gynecology I would say your period has suspended due to the very low calorie diet and post op healing. It’s good that you will be meeting with your physician. I found soy based supplements to be helpful for menopause symptoms.

I relate. My surgery was May 28 and I also have lost just 23 pounds. I am able to eat most foods without issue and eat anywhere from 800-1200 calories per day. I’m still burning more calories than I take in. I feel frustrated and disappointed I’m not one of those people that loses 3-4 pounds a week.

I did something very similar. I have not told anyone but my husband and best friend. I have been very public about my meal planning and doing modified Keto. I post my weight loss milestones. No needs to know that I had surgery to give me a better tool. I know some people would say I took the easy way out. I told my work I needed to have. Minor surgery for a reoccurring medical condition. For all they know it was to fix a Hemmeroid.
