How Slow Can I Go?



Recommended Posts

I am curious and a little worried at the same time. I was sleeved on 8/14 and to date I've lost 25 lbs. I know everyone is different, but I feel my weight loss has been slow going in comparison to other people on this forum. When I started this weight loss process, I weighed 224 and now 199. Am I going to be a slow loser or am I doing something wrong? I don't want to waste my honeymoon stage. :(. Down and depressed.

O BOY do I understand I was sleeved on 8/15 and it is taking WEEKSSSSSSSS to lose 3lbs...... I was doing walking with a friend but I broke down and joined the gym Monday. I have lost a total of 40 over 1/2 of that was before surgery!!! Dont give up. I was so depressed Sunday, my other half was worried he has not seen me that down in a long time

I talked to my nutritionist today..... I was sleeved on Sept. 17th..... I think the key for me is to physically measure out my food with a measuring cup and not eyeballing it. At this point I am allowed 1/4 cup of food that I have to eat over 20-30 minutes LOL.. eating one pea at a time :) I plan on buying a digital food scale too, not sure how much 2 ounces of deli meat is other than the fact that it is far, far less than what used to be my norm. :unsure: Get back to basics. I wish you well :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
