Weight Loss in the first month post op

[cole&matt'smom 72]

What did everyone lose their first month following surgery? Just wondering everyone's starting weight then post op weight after the first month. I started at 226, lost 18 lbs pre op & 2 lbs so far post op. I am 2.5 weeks post op. Hoping things will speed up soon!!

I was banded on June 22, 2012 started at 244 after a month I was at about 228. That was my biggest loss after that it has bounced between 2-7 lbs a month.

I lost really fast at the beginning. I was banded on January 6, 2012 and by my first fill a month later on February 10, 2012 I had lost 44 pounds.

Now that I've lost a good amount of weight, I average 6-10 pounds a month loss.

I actually gain 5 lbs the first two. My weight loss did not start until after that. Doctor said it was my body healing from surgery. After that lost about 8-10 lbs a month for the 6 six months. 80 lbs over 2 years.

I had surgery on January 2nd and have lost 23lbs lbs. 15 lbs pre op n 8 post op. Since I started my regular food I haven't lost any.

Pre-op I lost 23lbs. Post op I lost 7lbs the first week, nothing the next two weeks (mushies and soft foods), but when I started solids it kicked back in again for a total of 12lbs in the first few weeks post op. Two weeks ago I lost 1/2 lb and this past week I dropped 4-1/2lbs. No rhyme or reason. I just go with it. Tomorrow will be 2 months since my pre-op diet and I'm down 43lbs total. I'm totally happy with that.

I feel you:( I have been doing my food journal & staying under 1000 calories per day & can't seem to lose a thing!!! Ugh! I'm trying to stay positive but it is very hard. I have really been struggling.
