I'm freaking out!



Recommended Posts

So I just wanted to see what you guys thought of my progress so far and if anyone had a similar experience..

My start weight was 230 pounds.

I was sleeved on Aug 25 and as of today I weigh 195 pounds. It just seems like I am progressing very slowly .. I am following a low carb diet making sure I'm below 1200 calories and exercising 3 hours a week...

What do you guys think is my progress within normal? I tried talking to my nutritionist and her recommendations were to just stick with what I am doing and I should see results soon enough.

Thoughts???

230lbs as starting is on the lower side than many others. It might be higher depending on your height and your goal weight, but it's still considered 'lower'. I've noticed that a lot of people starting lower seem to progress a bit slower, and I think that's normal. My best suggestion would be now that you're about 6 months out, focus more on vegetables, Water, and increase the exercise if you can. I do 1.5-2 hours every other day. An example for a meal (I eat about 6oz a meal now as I'm a bit further out than you): 4oz vegetables, 2oz lean Protein. The veggies are going to be what contribute to weightloss, the Protein just keeps you feeling fuller longer and helps with muscle gain/definition.

You are fine..one day it will be gone and you will wonder where and when it went. Gives your skin and fat deposits to even out too so think of it as a small bonus. If you stick to it you can't not succeed

I'm a slow loser too. Sleeved 8/23

HW 270
SW 252
CW 221

I've had a number of overseas trips as I recently retired, with wine once or twice a week which I appreciate slows weight loss too. However, I plan to persevere, and up my exercise. Have a bad back so has been mainly swimming and aqua Aerobics.

      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.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. 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?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
