How Much Weight Loss The 1St Month?



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

can you share with me how much weight you'll lost the first few weeks after surgery.

I lost 10 lbs the 1st week but my scale has not budged for 1 wk. Eating everything by the book... not sure why I'm stagnating

I lost 30 pounds in the first two 1/2 weeks and I am in the famous 3rd week (going to 4th week) stall right now. Maybe you hit your stall early, but maybe you will jump out quicker. It seems every single person has a different experience. I also got constpated in my 3rd week, maybe that's a factor??? the toughest part for me EVERYDAY is to not compare my ticker with everyone elses. It seems we are used to failure (dieting) and we see these amazing tickers and automatically assume we are doing something wrong. Hang in there... :)

Well went into surgery a male, lite weight at 277 lbs and a week after was 260 and now 4 weeks 258 lbs. I don't have trouble eating anything and try to stay around 800 calories. I've been stuck around 258-260 for two weeks. Being a lite weight I think it's going to come off real slow for me.

I have lost about 25 lbs but have not weighed in a few days. SO 1 month post op that is 25 lbs. I am OK with it - I have not stalled so far either.

I did have a stall in week three but also had my period that week, so who knows?

I lost 37 pounds in my first month. Stalls are normal just switch the type of foods you eat, excercise and you will break the stall. The rule is that if you keep tricking your body you will keep losing the weight.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
