Need Help From 200 Ish Start Weight, Experienced Sleevers



Recommended Posts

I am 3 months postop as of last Friday. My starting weight was 196, currently at 160, that is total loss from before preop diet. I basically lost 15 pounds the first month, 10 the second and 5 the third. Is that normal?

Today on MFP I have had 611 calories, 57 carbs, 22 sugar and 59 Protein.

Is that about what I need to be getting daily? What changes should I be making? I do take my Vitamins and I have been trying to get my protein without shakes but today I did have one. Should I be trying to stop the shakes and bars?

I had surgery in MX and do not have a NUT. I am starting to lose my hair but not to bad yet. Any suggestions would be great.

I'm not a NUT, but looking at your numbers, my suggestion would be to lower your carb intake, and up your Protein by 30 grams or so. I get a monthly B12 shot and take Biotin, it seems to help with the Hair loss, and gives me energy. I wouldn't give up drinking the Protein Shakes, maybe, use them for between meals. The lower BMI'S seem to lose a slower. Your doing well!

Lower the carbs a little bit and up your Protein. Please remember the less you weight the less you will lose per month and you will need to definitely up whatever routine you are doing.

You are doing great though. Congrats!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
