BeachWithMyBabies 24 Posted April 23, 2011 I know this will have a large range, but I'm trying to get an idea of how much weight people lost about 7 weeks post op. I just completed my first week and I'm down about 9 pounds (yay!) I am a bridesmaid in a wedding on June 4th and I need to buy my dress... and I don't know what size I'll be!! On average, what was your weight loss? Did your feet change at all as you lost fluids and bloat? Below are my specs just in case anyone is similar in body to me: Start Weight: 222 PreOp Weigh: 213 Height: 5'4" Thanks for all your advice in advance!

Becca 108 Posted April 23, 2011 I had lost about 30 pounds at seven weeks. You probably should plan to have your dress altered just in case. Weight loss varies so much from person to person. My feet have gone down half of a size. Good luck with the wedding! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tarain 2 Posted April 23, 2011 I just passed the 7 week mark. I am much heavier than you and a little taller, but i will share my info so you can compare with a variety. I think it's going to be hard predicting the size you will be in 6 more weeks, but good luck! I agree with Becca, be prepared for some alterations just in case. My PreOp weight was 353 I am 5'6" At 7 weeks I have lost 35 pounds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foxbins 625 Posted April 23, 2011 My surgery weight was 232 and I am 5'8". I lost 26.5 lbs in 7 weeks. If you compare starting BMI's with yours you will probably get a better estimate of how much weight you will lose. Mine was 35. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SKCUNNINGHAM 298 Posted April 23, 2011 I am 2 months out from surgery today. I have lost 30 pounds post surgery, 13 pounds on the pre surgery diet - for a 43 pound loss total. I am 5'4" and my starting weight was 253. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foxgirl74 5 Posted April 29, 2011 My surgery weight was 236, I will be 7 weeks next Wednesday and will down about 32 pounds. I lost about 10 preop. I am 5'3. Seems like a "safe" average is about 30-40 pounds 7-8 weeks out from surgery, but we all lose differently so it's hard to really know. I have not notice any difference in my feet, but I have small feet and have not ever noticed much difference with them even at my heaviest. Since you have another month to go I would be pretty such you will lose at least 15-20 more pounds if you are following the diet and adding some exercise.
