Weight Loss in the first month post op



Recommended Posts

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 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.

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 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.

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.
