I was sleeved 3/25/16. My start weight was 306 before preop diet. Now I am 258. I have about 30grams Protein a day. Have difficulty with Water. My usual day: breakfast- Greek fat free whipped yogurt with 2 spoons of granola. Lunch- any type of Soup. Dinner- can be anything. What ever I cook for family. But I do eat fruits. Any sample menus?

Oh, Lord -- another person who thinks that losing nearly a pound a day equates to "weight is not going down."

How in the world do people develop such unrealistic expectations about WLS results?

My first four months post-op I averaged 10 pounds/month weight loss. And then the weight loss slowed.

I still lost 100 pounds and am maintaining now at 135 pounds.

This is not a bloody 50-yard dash. It's a marathon. And when you reach your goal it becomes a life-long lifestyle.

Sorry for the mini-rant, but I really don't understand why someone who's averaging 24 pounds lost / month is disappointed in WLS. That's an amazing weight loss.

You need more than 30 grams of Protein a day (closer to 80-100), and you need AT LEAST 64 oz of Fluid a day.

None of us lose at a constant or steady rate. We all experience stalls and slow downs. If you are planning to lose a significant amount of weight, you will experience different rates of loss and periodic stalls.

Just follow your program. Focus on getting in all of your protein and fluids, take your Vitamins and supplements as directed, exercise, and stay off the scale.

Embrace the Stall

Well I'd say you're doing pretty well considering you are down 48 lbs in less than 2 months. Anyway - you need to get all of your Protein and Water in - or not only will your weight loss stall but you will not heal properly. Be sure to check the sugar content on the Greek Whipped Yogurt (I bet it has a fair amount of sugar) and the carbs on the granola. Does the soup have Pasta or rice? How many carbs? Depending on what you're having for dinner - this could be an issue as well. You need protein and if you are still hungry - eat produce. No Pasta, bread, rice, etc. 30 grams of protein is definitely too low.

Your issues are very easy to fix......You need to be getting 60-80g of Protein and minimum 64oz Water. Those are the two most important elements to losing weight. Nix the granola and sugary yogurt and fruit and replace all of them with high protein foods.

If it makes you feel any better....I was sleeved on 3/23, two days BEFORE you, and you still lost more weight than I have.

As others stated, make sure you get in your Protein, but I would be ecstatic with 48 pounds!!

Good job!!

      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?

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
