What Is The Average Weight Loss In The First 4 Weeks?

[ChubbyGal 9]

I am traveling 4 weeks after surgery and I am hoping to have my new eating regiment somewhat worked out. I know there will be a lot of trial and error as well as new eating habits. I was also hoping to have lost a little before my big trip! Any advice??

Everyone is SOOOO different! Many lose a ton of weight the first month. I only lost 7!!!! YOU WILL definately lose the first month.

Wont you be on liquids and mushies the first few weeks after surgery ?

A lot of people lose weight post op for the first few weeks till they are back eating normal food. Many dont feel satisfied or restricted yet, till the fills u will eventually get start kicking in .. so give yourself a chance to heal and dont concentrate too much on what the scales say

You new eating regime will come over time when u are able to start eating solid food and start feeling some restrictions

When will you begin your mushies phase? While I was on "mushies" everything I ate went through the blender. Maybe there needs to be a provision to make certain you will have with you what you need to prepare your meals...

dont forget to take several plastic grocery bags with you when you travel on the off chance you might have a bite of food get stuck. You might be needing a bag quickly if you slime, especially if you're just getting used to solids. Good luck !

Thanks everyone! Yes, I will be on liquids for the first 10-14days and I am sure I will be just starting mushies then a little solids while I am traveling. I really wanted to have this done at least 6 weeks before I left, but it did not work out that way. I could not get on the surgery schedule any earlier. I am just happy that it is finally happening, so I will take what I can get!!

My surgeon said not to expect any weight loss in the first 4-6 weeks, since the body is still in the healing stage. But I'm sure everyone is different.

My surgeon told me normally 1-2 pounds a week. But there will be plateaus. I have lost 81 pounds since December 2010...I chose to go slower with my fills. I didn't start excercisibg regularly unti this spring. I went from a size 24 to a size 12 ( some 14s) so in pretty satisfied. One regret, I don't excercise sooner:)

Soups...add whey or soy Protein to it.

Got my soy Protein for 3.00 at Vitamin cottage.
