Is it true (or common)?
catwoman7 replied to BlessedMomma91's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I've heard that as a rule of thumb, but it's not true for everyone. I'd lost 40 lbs at 12 weeks, and 129 lbs at the year mark (so in other words, an addition 89 lbs). and no, I wasn't done losing at the year mark, but my weight loss was pretty slow after that mark. I didn't quit losing until I was 20 months out. -
I think I lost 30 by week 12 and I've currently lost 80. Hasn't even been a year yet it's been 8 months. Sent from my T601DL using BariatricPal mobile app

I heard that the weight lost from surgery day to the 12 week mark is most commonly half of what the patient will lose total by their 1 year mark? For example, if I've lost 30 pounds by my 12 week weigh-in, I will only lose another 30 by my 1 year surgery anniversary. For a total of 60 pounds lost in the first year post-op. How true is this for you guys? Are most of you done losing around the 1 year mark? I know everyone is different and each situation is unique. I'm just wondering out of curiosity.

I am able to eat a bit more than recommended and I’m worried about it. I’m week 3-4 post op and can currently have eggs, toast, tuna etc. a stage let purée. I can eat about a cup and a half of strained soup in a sitting. I can eat a whole egg and a half a piece of toast in a sitting as well. Is this abnormal? Should I be concerned?

Itchy red rash on stomach
kko2ffs replied to MK1122's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm adding to this thread as I had a similar experience. I had gastric sleeve surgery on 12/14/22. Exactly 1 week later I had a severe rash all over my abdomen. The itching was unbearable. I couldn't stand to have anything touching the area and wore nightgowns all day and night for 2 weeks! The doctor told me to take Allegra and Rx'd a hydrocortisone cream. They helped a lot - as did cold compresses. It took about 2 weeks for the rash to go away. -
Wanted to see if anyone else is 6 weeks post op. I had my sleeve done 12/5/2022. Checking to see how they are getting along and howthere experience is going.

Nina35 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
anyone getting sleeved on the 27th of this month? If so how is it going with you?? what kind of pre-op diet are you on?? I am the 3 protein drinks with a small 3oz cooked protein meal with 2 cups of raw veggies which is cucumbers, tomatoes and all colors of bellpeppers!! -
Hey y’all, it’s my second week post op and I’m progressing well towards my fluid intake. Sadly, I’m getting sick of all the water and juice. I tried Whey Protein shake but couldn’t handle the taste. I managed 1 once only. I would love mor fluid variety but not sure what I can drink

Don't worry too much about 1st week weight loss, you're still carrying a lot of fluids from surgery & it affects the scale.

Weirdest None-Scale-Victory - I'll go first
qtdoll replied to chiquitatummy's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I went to a theme park twice last week & fit in every ride! & not gonna lie, I also compared my saftey bar w other people's & was surprised to see mine go lower/tighter than the people who sat next/near me. I'm especially proud since I had issues fitting in some of these rides at this exact theme park years ago -
November 2022 surgery support!
NP_WIP replied to feisty one's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi everyone! had a couple of rough weeks dealing with a cold and a family member in ICU, but we are finally home and I'm back on track with my protein and fluids. Had to get an IV twice, I was getting leg cramps, but all should be moving towards the goal from now on. I do have a business trip next week but expect to follow plan since I'm now in the stage where I can basically eat up to 4oz of protein, salads, veggies and fruits, of course my intake is less than that, but it gives me variety. -

It's great to be past the halfway point, isn't it? I'm there too, although I haven't lost much weight so far this month. I was hoping to get to 90 kilos this moths, but I'm not sure I will. The good news is that I'm 91 kilos now, the same that I weighed after my son was born almost ten years ago. So, everything I gained in the last decade is now gone. The exercise routine is not going well, unfortunately. There's too much ice and snow to do a lot of walking outside, and both my son and I got sick in the first week of January, and I'm still recovering. J haven't had a lot of energy after work, but hopefully I can make it to the gym next week.

Pre-Op by a month and I'm scared...
merrymayhem replied to Kris Poole's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
March 2021, same month I turned 45 but I have a bunch of lesions, brain and spine, so who knows how long I've had them. First flare was 2-3 years before I think, Second started Nov 2020, I didn't have health insurance at the time so the urgent care and cash pay doctor's office weren't any help. Got insurance in January and my new PA said yep, let's send you for a MRI and neurologist. -

So i just got back from a trip to Puerto Rico (work trip) and man that place is not for people who had weight loss surgery. 1st there is no sugar free anything. especially drinks. No sugar free gatorade, powerade ect... Nothing low carb. Bread is a huge huge part of everything. I even went to a walmart and nothing. just some protein bars and such. Only protein shakes i could find were just regular ensure and some other strange brand i have not seen. Best part was i finally fit in a coach seat without issue. before i would spill over to the next seat or be so tight it would be so uncomfortable. Now i fit perfect with plenty of room to spare. Got to say i am happy to be back.

Hi all! I had Sleeve surgery 1.5 years ago and I lost 120lbs and hit my goal weight! Wahoo! I'm now maintaining. I have a child already that I had before surgery but I'm finding myself wanting one more. I love being able to move, play with my current child as I couldn't do this before. I'm VERY nervous that I will gain all my weight back that I worked so hard to get off. Or that my nutrients will be low ( I have to eat a multivitamin very very slowly because the iron makes me sick). I feel more confident than I have in years. I love the idea of two children but I do not want to risk my health.. Has anyone had a child 2-3 years out from surgery and not gained their weight back?Even if you gained 20 lbs were you able to get it back off?? I really appreciate the advice!

I had VSG sleeve with the Weight loss team in Puerto Vallarta. You have access to Gerald Witt before and after surgery. He is 4 years post op. They have a facebook group with over 2000 people. Not a ton of posting but there are a lot of resources. The hospital was top notch and Dr. Para was great. My experience was very good but almost 30 days post op and no issues. I am a very self directed individual though. The cost was $4200 which was all the doctors hospital etc. There were a few other charges and for me I too the family and rented an Airbnb. It was a great time for my wife and 3 kids but even for me it was nice. If you are like me and insurance doesn't cover it was great for me.

Noom Weight loss Program
catwoman7 replied to Michele 2021's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
the last 20 lbs are a BEAR to get off. Soon after year 1, I was losing around 2 lb a month, even though I was working pretty hard at it. I don't know if any diet programs are going to any more successful at taking the last 20 lbs off quickly, because the fact is, you are likely eating A LOT fewer calories now than you were when you started. I've gained 10 lbs this year, and am working like a demon to get it off. But I'm losing a measly 1/2 lb or so a week (so same as when I was trying to get the last 20 lbs off after my bypass surgery). Reason being - back when I weighed over 300 lbs, it took 3000 (or maybe even more) calories to maintain that weight. Right now, at 160-ish lbs, it takes about 1600 calories to maintain my weight. To lose a lb a week, you have to cut 500 calories a day (or burn up 500 calories a day - which is A LOT of exercise!). To lose 2 lbs a week means cutting 1000 calories a day. That would put me at 1100 kcal/day if I wanted to lose 1/2 lb a week, and 600 kcal/day if I wanted to lose 2 lbs a week. Ah...not happening ( and also not healthy - the only people who should be eating 600 kcal/day should be under medical monitoring, like we were in the early weeks and months after WLS). On the flip side, when I was eating 3000 kcal a day at my highest weight, I could have easily found 1000 or even 1500 calories a day to cut and still been eating at a healthy level (I'm not saying it's easy - dieting never is - but at 3000 calories, it's very feasible to cut 1000 or 1500 calories - not so when you're only averaging (and maintaining on) 1600 cal/day). So by cutting 1000-1500 calories/day, that averages out to about 2-3 lbs a week. But again, cutting that many calories NOW would be impossible for me. long way of saying - it's hard to get those last few pounds off because there are only so many calories you can cut and still remain healthy. I've said this before, but back when I weighed over 300 lbs, I'd mentally roll my eyes at these barely overweight women at Weight Watchers meetings who'd moan and complain about how hard it was to lose 10 lbs. "Ha!", I would think, "try losing 200 lbs!". Now I totally get it... I'm not saying don't try. Your efforts WILL work. But your weekly losses will be in ounces now, not pounds. -
YES…I’m going on 5 years post and have had 50 lbs of regain. For me it was significant increase of alcohol during Covid, stress, and inactivity. I weighed in on January 1 and was NOT happy with the number. I’m doing dry January, have exercised 6 days per week and have gone back to the basics. I’ve only lost 1.2 lbs which is very discouraging. I’m almost questioning if I have metabolism issues. Either way, I feel GREAT getting back on track. I’ve upped my water, have been eating Whole foods, and am moving my body again. I’m just hoping I can get the weight off!

Hi there I am curious if anyone has tried a weight loss program called noom? I had a bypass 21 months ago and I still have 18 pounds left to lose to reach my goal weight Of 128 lbs. The surgery was amazing but I feel like it’s very easy to experience stalls and start to lose focus. They report that most people will reach their goal weight by 18 months and afterwords effects of the surgery will start to diminish which is not an encouraging thing to hear! Would love to hear others stories or advice on how they lost those last 20 lbs etc😊 Michele
