How much have you lost?



Recommended Posts

I think it's perfectly normal and very frustrating. You should be happy you lost the 2 pounds you did. Average weightloss is only 1-2 pounds a week anyway. Slow weightloss is healthier and there is less extra skin afterwards. I know it is upsetting but your body takes a while to get used to the band and your first month you might not lose as much b/c you are eating very few calories and your body goes into a starvation mode. Keep positive, I only lost 1lb a week for the 1st month. I am down 100lbs total now, 75 since surgery in september. Time flies you will get there in no time.

I am one pound away from 100 pounds lost!! WOOHOO!! I think that breaks down to about 5.2 pounds per month. OR 1.22 pounds per week. I'm happy with that. I don't have any skin "issues" and I feel fantastic! :)

All of you are doing so well! (Applause) Sadly, I only lost about 30lbs and I have gained that back..plus some. Starting today, I decided to get back on the pre-op diet. I don't have much of a restriction at all and only have about 4 or 5ccs. You guys are such an inspiration. Hopefully, I can get back on track.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
