6 weeks post op...what do you think?

[Kim Ster 111]

I am a Election Day Sleever....I named my sleeve "Sleevie Nicks" or sometimes "The food Warden" I love my sleeve lifestyle! I am 6 weeks today and feel GREAT! My question is what do you think about my weightloss numbers.....I have lost 26.5 lbs in 6 weeks....

Just wondering how I fall into all your weightloss stats....

Thank you and Happy Holidays.................

2+ lbs. a week on average is a healthy weight to lose, anything over that is just a bonus. Looks like you've lost 4 lbs. a week on average..so I'd say Good Job! Keep it up

That is awesome, I think you are doing great! Congrats on the loss!

Just remember everyone loses at a different pace, do not compare yourself to anyone else or get disappointed if your loss isn't moving as fast as theirs

@ 5 weeks out I was down 25lbs from surgery

I had surgery Nov 6th and have lost 33 lbs. I feel great compared to when I had my band. I do feel cold often and am craving a bite of prime rib, I struggle with what I can and cannot eat and for the last two days I feel like a bottomless pit.

Very similar stats to me 6 weeks out and lost 27lbs since surgery + 15lbs pre-op. Feeling good!! What was your op weight?

I lost 40 lbs prior to surgery, starting in August for a total loss of 66.5 lbs...I am totally happy with my numbers!

So I am currently struggling. Went yesterday for follow up. Had my sleeve done on Halloween. At my 2 week I was down 15 pounds two weeks later another 4.5 which didn't thrill me but I was ok with it. Yesterday which was 3 weeks since my last weigh in I was only down 1/2 a pound!!! This is so not acceptable to me. I feel like this is like a repeat of all if the diets I have done for the last 30 years. I spent 4 weeks on clears post op, 2 weeks of purée and got the ok for regular food yesterday but it still takes me 2 1/2 hours to eat a 3.3oz Greek yogurt not hungry not cheating and not loosing. I am also struggling with not properly using the restroom. I don't know if that's why I'm not loosing but I'm only going like once every 7-10 days. I told my surgeons PA who said that it was ok to use an OTC laxative but I am afraid to rely on them and I have taken 4 dulco-lace since last night and still nothing. Could this be the reason for my stall?

Are you getting in your Protein and lots of fluids? I try to hit at least 60g of Protein and I try for my 64oz of fluids but I can't always hit that mark also I know lots of people talk about calories too I am around 600-700 a day. ( I know everyone's doc and post op instructions are different)

Also for the bathroom problem you can use Milk of Magnesia it helps me within a few hours. Just as of the past 2 weeks I have needed to use this 2 times I am going to need to up my Fiber intake or something to help so I do not rely on "MOM".

Are you drinking enough water!

I work in a call center so I am on the phone and talking all day so I am constantly drinking. Usually not just Water mostly unsweetened iced tea or crystal light. I try to concentrate on Proteins sine I just went to full diet yesterday but don't think I'm going over 500-600 calories a day.
