Well my surgery was on October 6 and from that day I was 456.8 pounds and I weighed myself today and I am 402.4 pounds so I have lost 54.4 already I feel great about that Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I understand from previous surgery that the preop diet is low in carbs so you lose glycogen which holds water, and as you start to eat again you regain the water you lost but are still losing fat. Sent from my VFD 700 using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm 2 1/2 years post op and just hit 100 pounds of weight loss. It's been a long slow road but at least the scale has gone in the right direction. I still have 71 pounds to go. I'm wondering if anybody has some jumpstarting tips or even pearls of wisdom for me. I need to get some more of this weight off before I lose my mind. Thank you!

I am nearly the same for wt loss at 13 days post-op. I lost 10 on pre-op liquids and 5 at my 1 week post-op weigh-in. I too am not taking in much nutrition, ab 400 calories, ab 45gr protein and 40oz water. I intend to increase my protein and water as much as I can, but it is hard to do. We have to hang in there and keep going. I am consuming some pureed cottage cheese, pureed tuna and avocado, and ricotta bake - small small amounts. As well as a shake and some Isopure clear protein drink. And sf chocolate pudding did not sit well at all - so that is off my list - who knows why. Your hunger could be acid reflux. I am def NOT hungry, could care less about food - but not fond of passing out either lol.

Welcome Patty.

I had to do the 6 month diet before surgery. I went from 41.8 bmi to 36. I was worried, but my surgeon also said they submit the weight from the first preop appointment. If I was going to be close to dropping below 35 I was going to out some fishing weights in my pockets at the last weight in [emoji23]. The big benefit of losing the preop weight, and starting at a lower bmi is that it's much easier to get down to your goal weight. I'll be three months post op on November 10th, and I'm only 19lbs from my goal weight.

I am not at a month post RNY just yet and all I have been released to do is walking, and I am doing it for someone who barely got 3000 steps before I am no averaging 5000 so I am pretty proud of myself. My question for all of you is what exercises did you start with? I see a lot of people who say that now they run marathons and are darn near experts at yoga but way back when, when you had just started out what did you do? What was the first thing after walking that you started with and how was it, how did it feel?

Wow, I then have to rescind my previous comments -- he's known you for 4 year and I've known you for like, a second.

First off...I'm new to this site. So...HELLO EVERYONE! For insurance purposes, I'm on the fast track for surgery. I'm HOPING to have surgery the week before Thanksgiving. My nutritionist informed me that I will have to be on a liquid diet for 8 days before surgery. What are some of your favorite liquid-based meal replacements? I have my booklet that she gave me and I plan on following that. I would like ideas from my peers to see what their thoughts are. Thanks in Advance!

Hi there I had surgery on the 24th June so we are newbies together. Congratulations on your success . It's amazing isn't it to get results . I've lost 17lbs since my pre op diet and I'm thrilled. I'm in the uk and have gone from a size 20 to an 18. I've been very tired on the second week but have Alitalia more energy this week and less pain. The eating is going well and I'm rarely hungry. How about you?
