Am I Losing Enough?



Recommended Posts

I am 5 weeks and two days post op.. I've lost 32 pounds but for some reason I just feel like its not enough! I have had no problems other than sleeping and I hate Protein Shakes but I think I am gettin an obsession with the scales! How are others doing at 5 weeks?

In five weeks I've lost seven pounds. So shaddup!!

Just kidding.

I really have only lost seven pounds. I'm doing what I'm told, except perhaps enough Water. I'm hoping upping that will help.

Down 34lbs since preop diet (started 4.5 weeks prior to op).

Yeah. I'm a bit bummed.

Everyone loses differently. The heavier you are and the more weight you have to lose will cause you to lose quicker then someone who has less to lose. I am 10 weeks post op and have lost 48 lbs. I sometimes too feel that I should be losing more but then realize that it is just good to be losing anything. Kewep up the good work and try not to compare yourself to others.

Glad I am not alone. I am 4 weeks out tomorrow. I have lost 26 pounds since pre-op and sleeve on April 10th. I am dying here. The scale does not move.

I have even been able to eat a medium piece of talapia. I am wandering if I am doing something wrong. Everyone else seems to be losing more.

I do have a thyroid issue and I am working on stabilizing it with medication.

It makes zero since to no lose since I would have have eaten the entire house and now just very small meals about six times a day either tuna or talapia.

Help?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
