Worried about future wt loss



Recommended Posts

I have lost 39lbs since surgery 1/22/13. I'm very happy with my progress but I have this fear that the wt loss will just stop! The most I have ever lost before surgery was about 50lbs. I can't imagine losing more than that, I guess because it never has happened. I'm afraid one day it will just stop! I want to lose about 114 more but can't imagine it!!! Has anyone else ever thought this isn't real or can't imagine that you will eventually reach your goal!! Crazy???

fear that the wt loss will just stop!

ipnurse2004

almost 3 months PO - down 39 lbs - kudos - glad you realize this is a great loss

i "think" the fear of not losing much "more" after a bit, failing with the sleeve happens frequently to sleevers

but.........you have a teeeny, teeeeny tummy - 85% is gone, down the toilet - FLUSH

since you can only eat so much, you will lose !!!!

the ONLY way you won't lose is if you graze, eat, snack all day long, eating high caloric foods

i can see B) it in your cute little face that you won't do do a silly thing like that

you went through a LOT, major surgery, I'm sure you will be compliant with all the rules - drinking, eating, proper portions et al :)

do what your supposed to - we "all" have faith in you that you'll do great :)

congrats on your success

you'll continue to do great

good luck

Sounds as if you are getting so far ahead of yourself. You really need to take this one day at a time. If you are eating right, exercising and putting your health first, how can you go wrong? Look at what you have accomplished in this short period of time. Stay in the moment, and leave the what if's for when they happen. Good luck to you.

This is a journey. Don't borrow trouble from tomorrow, just do what you know you must do today. Get in your Protein and Water, add in some exercise and LIVE. The great thing about the sleeve is that you don't have to believe in it because it is physically there. It provides restriction, you provide nutrition. :)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
