Calling all slowish losers--please post your losses so far!



Recommended Posts

I am so glad you are doing this! Just one week post-op, so my losses are minute, but this is a great thing to see for someone who is not dropping 21 lbs in a week! Thank you!

And today I am 200.

As if to illustrate what I posted last night: I have been stalled for at least a week and posted last night that I was 214. I got up this morning and weighed and I am at 211. I love my sleeve.

Sleeved April 17 start weight 214, today 186. I didn't lose much the first month. I lose about 2 lbs a week which I'm happy with. Better to be going down than up!

Surgery date 3-14-13

Starting weight 216.6

Current weight 190.3

I feel like I'm losing sooooo incredibly slow. But I've never been able to say I've lost 26 pounds in 2 months so I'm trying to stay positive. I must admit I haven't been super diligent about working out. I eat approx 700 calories a day. I'm having a bit of a hard time adjusting to food. Still learning what my new stomach won't throw up. Yuck. I recommend taking photos. When you aren't seeing progress on the scale' date=' it helps to see inches lost (unfortunately I didn't take my measurements so I've been using photos).[/quote']

You look fabulous!

I'm 6 weeks out and still haven't lost anything beyond the first 2 weeks. :( I'm also having a lot of trouble with retaining Fluid in my lower legs. I've never had my legs swell up like this before (to the point where the skin is actually painful), so I'm hoping it's not anything surgery related. I see my primary care physician on Monday so will be talking to her about it.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
