Not sure if I'm losing enough.



Recommended Posts

I had surgery on 3-23 and loss 24 lbs since the surgery. I've lost 36lbs total since the 2 week pre-op diet, and Tomorrow I go to see my doctor for the second time since surgery.

Am I on a good path here or am I not losing enough weight for the 7th week post op.

Anybody else on a similar path or any input?

Thanks!

You dr didn't give you documentation showing the stages of weight loss for a year ? For me my dr put a 30lb loss for the first 3 month target and 20lb every 3 months following

No they didn't. They just advised on what to eat. He did say that he wanted me to drop 70lbs total but not in any particular timeframe.

This really is s conversation you need to have with your surgeon. You should be fine as long as you are following your program.

Weight loss is such an individual thing and there are so many variables, I really can't predict what your surgeon expects.

Good luck.

I was sleeved the 22nd of March, one day prior to you :) . As of today I have lost 35 pounds.

I agree with the other comments. Everyone is different.

My surgeon did not give me any monthly goals but also told me I had to loose 70 pounds (but no time frame).

Stay your course you are doing GREAT !!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
