How much weight have you guys lost in the first month? I know everyone is different but I'm just wondering...

I'm going on 7 wks post op and I lost about 15 lbs from two weeks pre op until my 5 wk check up and first fill. Now I'm about 19-21 lbs at 7 weeks.

I'm not sure why I've not lost as much as others but I'm following the rules. I'm happy so far but ready to drop a size. I log everything in MFP and stay around 1000 calories. That's the only rule I don't follow. My paperwork says 1500 but I wasn't losing until I dropped to 1000. I'm slowly getting more days of walking in. I'm only doing it 2-3 days @ 2 miles. I know I need more.

Great topic to see what other are losing and maybe what they are doing to help it along.

I've been very fortunate, I've lost 24 lbs. (10 pre op 14 post op) my surgery was 2 weeks ago and my dr had me integrate solids after 1 week and I had my post op appt today and he gave me a 3cc fill. I am on liquids for today but can move on tomorrow.

Wow I went to the doc yesterday and don't go back until the 30th one month later I'm already prepared to ask for a fill... I get solids Saturday and I'm not sure if I'm hungry or just miss the way food taste because everyone around me is eating normal and....this is sad but it's like I'm jealous I want to lose weight this is what I want and I can do it but it would be easier if u felt like I did the first 4 days...not hungry lol

I lost a lot my first month, 43 pounds. But I also had a lot to lose and didn't have a pre-op diet either. I also think a big reason I've always consistently lost is because I've counted calories religiously since the day I got home from the hospital.
