Road Map For Weight Loss?



Recommended Posts

Just wondering if any one else got a road map for % of weight loss. My Dr said 30% excess body weight in 3 months was what is anticipated. Does that seem about right? Did you get any guide lines?

Thanks, as always.

Did not get any type of info on this after my surgery. I think it depends alot of what your weight is, how much food you take in and what types, if you exercise and other factors. Everyone is different and no 2 people lose at the same rate.

I think setting goals like that will set you up for disappointment. Try not to "expect" any milestone in any kind of time frame. Instead, Celebrate your individual experience. The weight doesn't always come off in the way we would like but it does come off. Try not to compare yourself to anyone else.

I agree with dramagirl28. I was talking about this to my partner tonight; she was asking me what my goals are. I think at this stage in the game, there's really not much more I can do to lose weight any faster... plus I'm not sure it's healthy to do so.

Maybe when I approach the fourth and final lap of my weight loss journey and things slow down again, or I stall for a period of time... maybe then there will be something I'll need to do to stay on target.

But right now, it's enough to just make sure I get in my Protein and liquids on a daily basis.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
