Big Wight Loss!! Good News or Bad News?



Recommended Posts

:confused:I went for my 1 week post op appointment on Sunday 12/7. I had lost 17 lbs. Everyone in the office was stunned. Dr. Nazarian who did the surgery said this is not typical but kind of yelled at me because I wasn't consistently drinking the protien shakes. The whole week after surgery I wasn't one bit hungry. All This is probably because I'm old :)LOL. This week I'm up and have a bit of an appetitie but amy only drinking protien and chicken noodle Soup. I just wondered if anyone else ever lost this much. From the posts I read before I thought maybe 8-10 lbs. Today I'm down another 2 lbs.:lol:

At my one week I was down 23 pounds! The typical amount is 1-2 pounds a week...that's like the minimum they want us to be losing, but everyone is different. :wink2: Way to go and good luck! Keep up the good work!!!

I had a some big losses the first two weeks too. It will slow down and I wouldn't worry about it. Just be certain you're ingesting adequate nutrition. Don't short change yourself on nutrition just to try to wring out a few more pounds on the scale. This will invite big problems and bring your weight loss to a screaching halt in short order.

I thought you lose quicker if you are heavier and younger to start out but I was a 37 BMI and all the clothes in my closet are getting BIGGER! ! I have to pinch myself to believe this is real. At age 49 I tried everything from working out 2 hrs a day at the gym to eating only salads to lose weight and nothing worked. This is a really good dream come true.....I feel free and lighter than i have in many years!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wink2: I hope nothing happens to change this. I would just enjoy it as I sthink as soon as our bodies catch on to whats happend it's gonna go into survival fat storage mode and actauly then we have to eat more and exercise. best to you:tt1:

      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.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
