6 weeks post op... AND...

[Pagie 64]

Down 35 lbs. since surgery which is 19% of my excess weight.

Feeling a little stronger every day. Although I must admit that I thought I would bounce back much faster (age 43). On the soft foods for another week and then I'm unleashed on the world of food choices. Determined to make better choices for my body and give it the Protein that it needs FIRST. I also joined a gym so that I can take advantage of this "honeymoon" period with my appetite being practically nothing and hoping that will help boost my losses each week.

Just out of curiosity, what was your average weight loss per week?

You are doing great.

I have "averaged" 5lb / wk for the 5 months since surgery. It started at 6-7 per /wk and has slowed to closer to 4 per week. I had more lbs to spare than the average WLS patient.

You are doing great! I am four weeks and one day post op and have lost 29 lbs so far; almost a pound per day. I expect this to taper off to 4-5 lbs a week soon.
