For Those Who Started At 250



Recommended Posts

I'm sooooooo jealous of all you guys! I started at 262 sleeved on 4/10 and I'm only down to 214-218 depending. I'm eating at least 80 grams of Proteins and more than enough Water. I don't know what the problem is. I'm working out 6 days a week and sometimes twice a day. The only thing I can think of is maybe its my Implanon(BC) which I'm seriously considering removing. I don't know what move I can do. But I'm happy for you guys' date=' keep up the good work.[/quote']

What's your carb intake? It cld be that you are one of the unlucky ones who are extremely insulin resistant. I have to stay below 20 grams a day. 10 is even better.

I started in April @ 249. Surgery 8/21 @ 218. Today 203. Yep, I'm a SLOW loser, but I'm losing and that's what counts.

Try dropping it below 20 for a few days and see what happens. Also, eat one meal a day w no carbs at all. If these tricks don't work, then I'd look at your birth control. Good luck!

Muffin- also, if you are working out 2x a day, it cld be you are gaining a lot of muscle? I've also read on here that you can work out TOO much. Try posting in the exercise forum and see what they say.

I have the para guard iUD. It has no hormones and no added weight gain. Try looking into that.

I know not to compare to others' date=' but I would live to know how long it took you to get to "onederland" for those of u ladies who started at 250. I just hit my 4 months and I am so close to it, I thought of get there faster. I'm stalling again at 203-205. Yes I'm drinking me Water and getting 80-100 Protein daily. Workout 3-5 times a week and I work in a restaurant. I only take in 30-40 carbs daily. Thanks![/quote']

I was 245.5 on when I started. Sleeves June 27. Made it to 200 In early October. Have gone down to 193 but am back to 198 right now. Trying to refocus on getting enough Water and Protein in. It usually amps up the weight loss and gets me out of my stall.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
