Surgery date 7/20.

HW 260

SW 221

Day of surgery 205. Today is 17 days post op. I weighed 198 this morning. To say I am a little disappointed would be an understatement. I have had no trouble getting in Protein and fluids since day 1 post op. I consume less than 600 calories daily and this is my first week walking 1.5 miles daily. The weight just isn't coming off.

I am hoping it is just part of the healing process and part of starting at a lower weight than some.

I am going through the same thing. I haven't gone over 600 calories since surgery on 7/16. Dropped 22 lbs and now I have been stalled for 1.5 weeks. I am baffled. Eating so little but I feel like there is no progress. I do need to be better about drinking water/fluids. But I struggle with nausea all day. It's like morning sickness all over again, but with no baby.

I got in 74oz of Water yesterday and I am on track to do it again. I drink 22 in the 33 minutes I am on the elliptical. And then I drink lemon water all day. It have 3 different containers I have to finish to do this and dividing them like that has made it much easier. Not weighing myself so I don't stress about. Hitting 90-100 Protein. Eating one meal a day rest shakes. Keeping carbs under 20

I have lost a little over 20 in three weeks. Is that slow? I only eat about 650 calories and workout.

I posted the reasoning to this a bit earlier in this post/group ????????????

I finally decided no more weighting myself for awhile. It was too frustrating. I am just concentrating on following my diet.

I'm 9 weeks out. Feel great. Can eat anything now--just ultra mini portions--but I try to stick with real food. I occasionally slime by eating too much, but I'm getting a lot better monitoring myself. Definitely have to eat slowly too. I started at 200 SW (33.3 BMI) and am now about 169. Love my sleeve!

WOW! you have lot a lot! Congrats! You are basically where I want to be, but I have a long way to get there.

I need to start being more adventurous in my eating. I really need to add salad in this week. I basically eat the same thing every day. Less options less chance of mistakes, but I need to branch out.

Almost 60 lbs down! I haven't done any kind of exercise yet though. I wish Florida weather wasn't so awful, because it's too hot and sticky to take walks.

You are down 60 lbs since surgery? Or does that include pre-op?

That includes 2 1/2 weeks of semi-serious pre-op dieting (I cheated a few times, to be honest).

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
