sometimes i lose and sometimes i dont



Recommended Posts

ive noticed that my weight loss is so unpredictable now. for the first two weeks i lost 1 pound per day and then i slowed down. i went 6 days without any weight loss and then lost 5 in two days. i am almost 5 weeks out and lost 20 lbs in 4 weeks but havent lost anything in the past 5 days. is it because im not eating much and my body thinks its starving? for example somedays i eat around 1000 calories and somedays im so nauseas that i may only eat 500-600 calories. should i be more consistant on the calories? its hard to eat or drink anything when your nauseas. should i eat anyway when my stomach is feeling icky? they say dont eat if your not hungry but somedays i barely get anything in. and as far as weight loss is this normal to go days without any weight loss.

I will go for a week without the scale moving .1 of a pound (digitial scale) and then all of a sudden it will jump down 1.4 pounds--then it will stay there for another week or so!

At Thanksgiving I began a food Log (like I did for the 6 months prior to surgery for my nutritionist) and discovered I am eating 600 - 750 calories a day, with 60-80 grams of Protein.

So you know what? I don't worry any more! As long as my scale is not moving UPWARD, I can't be doing anything wrong! After all, it was YEARS that the scale did nothing but go upward--so I've won the battle already!

If I'd wanted to lose quickly, I would have taken my surgeon up on the offer for the more-invasive bypass surgery!

All I say to you is "Don't worry--our metabolisms are so-o-o-o s-s-s-l-l-lo-o-o-ow-w-w but they have to catch up sometime!" ;)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
