Beginning of 2 week pre-op: 235 lbs

Day of surgery (20 Aug): 214 lbs

3 weeks post-op (9 Sep): 206 lbs

I'm so discouraged with how little I've lost since the surgery.

I'm walking 2 miles every morning and every evening.

I get in the required amount of Water and Protein every day.

I'm still on pureed foods but I vary the foods I eat for every "meal". I'm eating about 2-3 oz every 2-3 hours but within an hour of eating, I'm extremely hungry. I wait as long as I can before I eat again. After eating or drinking, I'm plagued with heartburn. I'm getting about 500 - 600 calories every day. My body functions are regular.

What can I do so I'm not SO HUNGRY?

What can I do to prevent heartburn?

Why am I losing so little weight? (8 lbs in 3 weeks!)

Help!!!!

Hi I wanted to post this so the August ppl can log our success and weight lost so far..

My Surgery date 8/8/2013

highest weight was 220' date=' surgery weight 213, current weight 195

All in all I've lost a total of 25 pounds and so happy I lost 7 pounds on my two week preop than the rest the first week post op.. I was stuck at 196-200 until yesterday and now I have lost another pound and that makes me happy to know that the scale started moving back the right direction again!! :)

Highest weight: 303

Weight after pre-op diet/date of surgery 8/27: 280

Current weight: 259

If you are having trouble getting in Protein try mixing a bottle of Isopure with 1 quart of Water and a large packet of crystal light. I drink that all day and it gives me 40g Protein and 64 oz. of Water.

I am still having a hard time finding a Protein shake that I like, but this helps me a little.

      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!!
