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!

      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!

      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!!
