Starting weight



Recommended Posts

Starting my journey tomorrow my 2 week liquid diet starts. Wondering what your starting weight is considered?? Is it your weight on surgery date (bypass 10/24 for me) or is it when you start the liquid diet??

The day you weighed the most. Without surgery you will return to it.

​I use my weight from the first appointment with the weight loss surgeon.

Everyone decides which weight they want to use.

I used the first weight at my Surgeon's office.

I, too, use the weight of my first appointment as my Highest. Then my surgery weight is day of surgery . Good luck on your liquid phase , ladies! It truly is the most challenging part in the journey, in my opinion . When I had faltering moments , I reached out to others who have been through it. We are all here for you !

My date is also 10/25. I started my liquid diet on Monday 10/10. How are you doing with it? Last night was hard for me. I'm not diabetic but my sugar dropped and I had to eat a little something.

I am doing good. I am down 9 lbs since my preop check up (10/4). So I am excited. I do miss eating. Having caffeine and sugar withdrawal headaches I think but they are going to go away. Drinking my food is becoming routine so that's good I guess.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
