Two months post-op update and pics!
Mandy...congrats to you! I am so jealous. I had a vertical sleeve done 3-2-10 and I have lost 10 lbs since leaving the hospital. At my 6 week check up I had only lost 3 lbs since my 2 week check up. I am very frustrated and not sure what to do. I am happy for you. Those are the kind of results I was expecting. Thing is.....I'm 5'9" and started with all this weighing 239 lbs. I weighed 226 lbs going in for surgery and weigh 216 lbs at 2 months out. People say...oh, that's great. Not to me, I feel like I gave up a lot of money and a body part for 10 lbs of weight loss thus far. I drink New Whey protein everyday and exercise quiet often. I just don't understand. I haven't even really gone down a clothing size yet. My clothes just fit better. I would love any suggestions or secrets you might share. Once again.......congrats!
I am sorry, I would be disappointed too. What is your goal weight? I am 5'8" and 226 is what I weigh now so I had more to lose than you. I was 260 on the day of surgery. My weight loss is a lot slower at this point than in the beginning.
I would post a new thread about this. I know there are other slow losers and lots of people here who have been around a while who can help you out. I wish I could help but I don't really do much - just drink two protein shakes a day and eat protein only at meals. I don't count calories or carbs, but will probably start the closer I get to goal.
Good luck...don't get discouraged! You will lose the weight!
