just curious....i am down 10 lbs pre op, 35 post op, wondering if my progress is slow.....

January 22, 2013 surgery date

Starting Weight: 205

Surgery Date: 195

Total Pre Op Weight Loss: 10 pounds

Current Weight: 179

Total Weight Loss: 26 pounds

My problem: I am not drinking enough water, I can't stomach protein shakes and I seriously can eat what ever I want without feeling any negative side effects... to a fault. I only feel full faster. I wish my stomach made me sick or I had problems eating things. It's all about self discipline which if I had in the first place, I wouldn't have needed this surgery. I work out and run on my treadmill. I was on a stall so I quit working out and weight finally started to fall off. Perhaps I was not getting enough good calories and of course need more protein and less carbs. I really need to start anew and get my nutrition in gear and resume my work outs. A few weeks ago I actually ran 3 miles without stopping. Never being a runner, that was a huge accomplishment for me. Now if I could just eat right and drink more water, I could maybe get this weight falling off faster!!!

I had surgery January 17 pre op diet started January 4th since January 4th I'm down 80 pounds

Surgery January 17th starting weight 256 current weight 207

I have stalled a few times and suffer with constipation but, I would most definitely have this surgery again. Can't wait until I get to onederland .

Sx jan/15 and i am down 52lbs...staled a bunch of times within the few months

Surgery 1/2.. .Day of surgery weight 264. As of today 45 pound loss (no pre op died was required) so all my weight loss is post op. I am very happy with my results so far.. Looking forward to my continued journey..

Jan 7th surgery and down 60lbs

I was done the same day. Only down 35. What is your diet like??

Hit 55lbs lost today, since surgery... .

1/29/13 surgery date, down 30 lbs

Girl! You are not a slow loser! I had surgery 1/17 and am down 33 pounds...15 of the 33 were with the liquid diet. So I have only lost 18 since surgery. VERY FRUSTRATING!!

Yeah! Someone like me!! My surgery date was 1/21 and I've lost 12 pounds!! I just don't get this!!

I'm a slow poke too. My best days for losing are the ones with protien shakes and water. No stupid carbs - like mashed potatoes, fruit juice and sweet smoothies. I keep gaining and losing the same 2 pounds. Ugh! One-derland is just two pounds away but I can't seem to break through.

Hang in there. I share your frustration, even though we both know slow and steady wins the day.

seems like if you have a lower bmi it's slower....

I'm really strict about eating just three meals

Typically breakfast I have a spoon of peanut butter w/ banana or apple slices or I scramble one egg w/ ham cut up into it

Lunch I usually roll deli meat in lettuce w/ fruit on the side or I'll eat a 100cal flat bread with deli meat lettuce n mayo...

Dinner I'll eat whatever... I pretty much never have cut carbs out completely but it should never be what ur meal totally consists of... If I eat pizza I get it with meatballs or chicken on top so I always get protein...

And I always eat slowly and take 20 minutes at least to eat every meal... And I don't drink 1/2 an hour before or an hour after each meal... But my main problem is being 28 and going out drinking with my friends... I have never been so aware of the calories in alcohol... And I should probably start working out now since I haven't done that yet
