2 Month update



Recommended Posts

Yesterday was 2 months for me. Still at 57 pounds down - been at 270 for a week now. Hovering between 270-272 depending on the day. I've been following my plan, tracking my food and everything but still no movement. This is my first true stall, the others were just slowdowns but I'd still lose a pound or two over the course of the week. It's incredibly frustrating. I hope I'm not one of those who lose 50-60 pounds quickly and just stop. I didn't do all this just for that.

Working out has been going good, hitting it at least 5 days a week. Lifting 3x and barre or walking the other 2 days. I plan to go home and walk 3 miles today and hope that helps my stall. I'll be INCREDIBLY mad if I hit Xmas at 270.

It will un stall (is that a word) been stalled a few times - but they let loose after about 8 days

I agree the working out is really doing the job I am on week 3 of cross fit and can already tell

There is no such thing as people not being able to lose weight. The only people who stop are those who:

a) Put themselves into starvation mode, and get a protracted stall while losing muscle mass.

b) Eat in you case, over about 2600 calories per day.

It's just math, and you have been doing great. But honestly you are at the weight now, that I started at, so there should be no difference between us from here on out, except you've got more practice 🙂

Ok - I'll hope for something tomorrow or on Xmas then! And of course this was preceded by a random drop from 274 to 270 last week so I'll just say it took me a week to actually lose that 4 pounds lol!

Thank you! Logically I know the math is there I burn 400-800 cals a day working out depending on what I do and I eat around 750 cals a day so it's just a matter of catching up and making it all work out!

Just like fluffy said. Stick to you plan. Stalls happen. It happened for me at about the same time. i was stuck and thought the surgery failed me. I think all of us at one point have had that doubt. No worries. Out of no where the weight will drop again. Its an even better feeling when you break a stall. So hang tough!!

Got on the scale this morning and saw 268.5! Had a nice 3 mile walk yesterday and I'm going to hit the gym today. Would LOVE to hit 267 this week and be at 60 pounds total. I'm also a good 2-3 weeks ahead of the goals needed to hit 250 before my Hawaii trip.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
