Hmm how much have you lost



Recommended Posts

Slow weight loss doesn't mean someone isn't following the plan. I am 10 weeks today and have "only" lost 38 lbs. I have not cheated once. I get all my protein' date=' Water & Vitamins. I have not had a bite of bread, Pasta, rice or potato.

Being a slow loser is frustrating...especially when you KNOW you aren't "eating like the surgery never happened"[/quote']

I'm a month out now and already stalled for two weeks! I have lost 15 lbs since surgery almost 50lbs total. I'm a slow looser too. I am still on soft foods even!! I'm happy though cuz I know sooner or later it's got to kick in. Started at 266 now 217 size 22 to 16 pants and 3x top to 1x loose but can't quite fit a XLG.

OP-I empathize with your anxiety. My RNY was March 11, 2013, and I am down 61 pounds. BUT, in the past 6 weeks I've only lost 1-3 pounds a week. It is not melting off. But, I feel better due to all the e excise I am now able to do, and my size clothing size is moving down at a steady pace because I am exercising. So try to stay positive. It will come off at your own pace. Just keep eating right, try to exercise. It is really hard but try not to worry about others are losing and don't obsess over the scale. I struggle with that advice on a daily basis!

@@dolphinkrazy22 Hi, I think that's great. Just think most people lose 100 within a year and you have lost almost half that in 2 months. I had my surgery 12/16/15 and I weighed 224 the day of surgery, if I'm able to lose as much as you have that fast I will be super excited. : )

Hello Mrs B!

Congratulations on your surgery and I hope your doing well. Thank you for your reply. You hear a lot of people dropping more weight but I have read a lot about the more weight to loose, the faster it comes off. It seems I have been at a stall for a week now! I just hope that it keeps coming off! Best of luck to you! ????

Hi, I'm actually doing really good for the most part, my only problem is making sure I get in all my fluids. I have lost some weight though I started at 226, surgery 223 and I'm at 204 now which I don't think is too bad considering tomorrow is my 3 week mark. I'm hoping to be on the track you're on because you've done really well : )

Fluids are really hard for me still! Water sets on my stomach very heavy. I have been drinking coffee and I know that's a big no no! I crave it so much and it helps with the hunger. You are very close to where I was at three weeks. It sounds like you are doing awesome. I need to get back into drinking more Protein. I have been averaging about a 3 lbs loss each week! The weight seems to come noticeable after the 4th week. Keep up the good work!!

I know coffee is a no no too but I want some of McDonald's vanilla iced coffee so bad but I'm not sure if I would dump or not, you're doing really good though. Do you exercise and if so what kind of things? I walk on my treadmill or outside but I'm getting a little bored with that. I was wondering when I would start to notice something for myself besides my husband saying he does. Protein Shakes are a huge downfall for me so I try to eat almost anything that has it to make up for what I am lacking.

How much have you lost now that you're at the 3 month mark?

I think the coffee at McDonalds would be too much sugar. You could try it but make sure it's a day when your home and have nothing to do, lol! I have only been exercising 3-4 times a week on the treadmill. It's getting boring too but that's all you should be doing for the first 6 wks. I am now at 171 lbs. I started at 224 lbs as my highest weight and surgery day was 217 lbs.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
