Down 52 lbs and holding



Recommended Posts

Hey all! I got my sleeve on 11.8.17. As soon as I got onto soft foods I stopped losing for a couple of weeks and now I feel after dropping my initial 50 lbs i am stuck again. It’s been maybe 2 weeks and I’ve seen no changes. Is this common?

I may be comparing myself to others I know who have had it done and didn’t have issues losing early after their surgery.

wow - great job. I haven't gone through the process yet but I hope to have 50 gone 3 months after surgery. What was your surgery weight?

Hi there! I had my gastric sleeve done back in 7.28.16, my starting weight was 257 and I’m down to 140. Have you tried walking? I have become very active and it helps me to continue to lose weight. Also, how are your food choices?? Try and eat more veggies and fruits, they’re easily digested. I’ve sorta been following a clean diet too, I feel it’s been working for me so far.

Thanks for the advice! I currently eat no fruit, but do eat veggies with Greek yogurt as my snack. I have been walking more and riding my bike around. Started back up at the gym, but I haven’t been able to make it yet. Until I do, I’ll try and just step it up then. Thanks!

Hi, everyone seems to lose weight at their own pace. I was a slow loser, but lost 100 pounds in a year around 30 before surgery and 70 afterwards. Have patience, keep to the program. Don’t get discouraged. You can do it.

@Frikinanni

yep, looks like you are definitely comparing to OP

KNOCK IT OFF:D

never,never, ever compare your stats/progress to

others. you will drive yourself crazy. you have lost

52 lbs - party dance, party dance!!

we all loose weight within different time periods.

that's ok. continue to eat right, drink, Protein etc -

you will arrive at the finish line. No hurry! - but

you must keep following the "rules" for the rest of

your healthier, happier, longer life.

i know you will be successful!! good luck

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
