January sleevers......what's your weight loss so far?



Recommended Posts

Yes...just only losing a pound every once in a blue moon is frustrating. Feels like I have lost all I will lose and still have at least 40 more to go. Not even 1/2 way.

I feel the same way. sleeved 1/21 and down around 45 pounds. current weight 187. I've been playing with the same 2 pounds for weeks. can eat most anything. I average around 800 calories. I try to get up to around 1000-1100 at least once a week. I still need to lose at least 40 more.

I was sleeved 1/29 and have lost exactly 65 lbs. I've been on a stall for like a month. I feel like I'm not going to loose more weight and I'm only 5 months out. How long can stalls last? I'm exercising 4 times a week. This is very frustrating!

Wow I've lost 68 pounds since surgery on Jan 9-13!!

With the ten I lost prior I've lost 78 pounds!!!

I eat 1200-1500 calories a day and have not started exercising on a reg basis due to medical problems but after this Thursdays surgery I will be able to.

I had almost a month stall before it started coming off agin. I don't worry about it but I weight everyday.

I have eaten way too many carbs and struggle with that.I use NATURES RESEARCH brand vanilla whey because it is the only one that I think tastes good actually delicious. I can eat it off a spoon!! That's my one drink a day mixed with Water that gives me 30 grams of Protein then I eat one Greek Yogurt. 11 grams of protein and a cup of skim milk for 9 grams of protein. My daily protein is 50 plus whatever meat protein I eat for dinner and lunch and low fat cheese sticks. A typical lunch is ham and cheese rolled in cabbage, dinner is baked chicken with a carb side and a veggie side. Where I get into trouble is snacking on popcorn Cookies like Nilla cookies and bread. This slows my weight loss down I know but if all my protein and liquids are in I figure a little carbs is realistic if you can control it. For instance I'll eat 6 but before surgery I'd eat the whole box. So this is my struggle to control foods I know I won't live without or cold turkey those foods and find healthy substitutes. The answer seems obvious even to me but what I want and what I do are not in sync yet!

Before surgery 289

day of surgery 279

Today 211 June 17. day of surgery Jan 9-13

I love my sleeve I love my new life I've lost 68 lbs in 5 months.

I feel you!! I've been stalled for 3 months and I just so depressed and wonder if my body is destined to stay at this weight. I've lost 47 lbs since surgery on 1/14 and I have another 70 until goal. Went from size 26 to 20 by March. Still in a 20. I can also eat whatever I want and quite a bit too. Frustrating!

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      3. NickelChip

        I think it's important to remember that the weight charts and BMI ranges were developed a very long time ago and only intended to be applied to people who have never been overweight or obese. Those numbers aren't for us. When you are larger, especially for a long time, your body develops extra bone to support the weight. Your organs get a little bigger to handle the extra mass. Your entire infrastructure increases so you can support and function with the extra weight. That doesn't all go away just because you burn off the excess fat. If you still had a pair of jeans from your skinniest point in life and then lost weight to get to the exact number on the scale you were when those jeans fit you, chances are they would be a little baggy now because you would actually be thinner than you were, even though the scale and the BMI chart disagree. When in doubt, listen to the jeans, not the scale!

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
