Hi Lynnanne

How come you've only lost this many pounds in 3 months? Is that normal? Are you ok?

Hi Lynnanne

How come you've only lost this many pounds in 3 months? Is that normal? Are you ok?

No, it isn't normal for me. My highest weight was 262, I was 245 on Jan 25 of this year . I was 200 pounds the day I came home from surgery. I lost those 62 pounds on my own with a healthy diet and exercise. I had the sleeve because I wanted to continue to lose and not gain it back and because of my many health problems. Instead my metabolism seems to be completely changed. My surgeon and nutritionist have nothing to offer. I am in the regret phase.

I gained 13 pounds (!) from the fluids in the hospital and it took me 9 days to lose it. All's well now though :)

What is your diet like? How many grams of protien are you getting a day? And how many calories? Are you tracking? I'm sure we would all love to help you out if we can by giving you some advice if you would like?

While in the hospital I actually gained 3 pounds. So including that I lost 14 total, but 11 from pre-surgery weight.

Week one I lost 7 pounds. Week two I lost 0.4 pounds. After that I averaged about 1.5-2 pounds per week for the first couple of months. Now, 11 months post-op, I'm happy to lose a half a pound a week!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
