CONGRATS!!! I was just wondering if you were consistanly losing weight thru the two months. I lost 10lbs the week I did liquids and have not lost a single pound since. Im excersing and eating very little......I will be 3 weeks out on wed. and I will be getting my first fill then....did the fill jump start your weightloss?

Wow, congratulations.... I am one week out and my first fill is only at 6 weeks. I am eating between 550 and 650 calories/day and walking. What kind of exercise have you all being doing to help with the weightloss? I have lost 18lb so far (3lb post-op).

Thanks

Hey Ladies...

Thanks for all your sweet msgs. I have lost weight quite consistantly, with a lot being pre- op and immediatly post op. Since then I have slowed down a bit to a healthier 2-3 pounds a week. I am a tall girl (5'11) so I tend to loose pretty quickly. My doc is very aggressive with fills, and I have done really well with this. He will do fills every couple of weeks if you require. Any tips? Hmm, I don't obsess about food or weight- I think this is important. Have you heard the theory- What you focus on expands? Well, When I do get all wrapped up in numbers, and calories that is when I don't loose. I'm focussing on protien and veggies and looking at food as something good, and nourishing. I work out a few times a week. Generally walking, get my fluids in. And I do have healthy Snacks between meals. Some docs are against this, mine is not. The best advise I have is be gentle with yourself, and PATIENT. :blushing: Nuture yourself with Healthy foods, rest, and enjoy the simple things. In my personal life, and nursing career I see how much the mind affects our health. Wow, I'm rambling:) Goodnight... Melissa

First off I want to say congrats to everyone!!

But I too have only lost about 10lbs since my surgery. I am 6 weeks post op. It is very discouraging but my doctor said I should be focusing on healing rather then losing weight. My first fill is in a week, I am so ready. I am hoping after getting my first fill the weight will start dropping. I am so so so ready to start losing:)

I think that everyone loses weight differently, however, I have heard that if you aren't losing weight to change it up a little bit, workout differently or change how many calories you are eating in a day. Changing it up might stimulate your body a little bit more. For me, I either walk, do a workout video at home, or work out at school about 5 times a week. Not everyday but I try to as much as possible. Plus I really like it now, with my MP3 player and my new tennis shoes help me get motivated, plus seeing the weight come off and the scale go down is always motivation!!! Also, it is important to remember that we all lose at different rates so keep that in mind!!! But you are all doing great, and keep up the hard work!!! It will all be worth it!!! We can do it!!

yes we can do it! Im going to try different things for 3 weeks before I get my 3rd fill to see different results...Im going to focus on eating healthy foods ONLY, walk 30 min in the mornin and 30 min at night (no matter how tired I am) and make sure I drink alot of Water. But what kills me is that this plan is what ive been doing all along!!!!!! but sometimes I would cheat like if I get home at 8:30pm Im exhausted and dont wanna walk no more so ill skip that or sometimes im really hungry and ill skip eating healthy and ill go for some rice...so I guess I need 2 stop cheating :blushing:

That is absolutely fantastic! You are losing at record speed! I am also two months out and have lost 30 pounds, most presurgery.

I am not eating too much, but the foods I eat are higher calorie.

I would love to hear what you eat in a week's time!!! What fruits and veggies can you eat? Raw? and which ones don't go down well for you? Tell me your secret!!! Yea for you!!!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
