Women Who Weighed 280-260: How Much Did You Lose In...



Recommended Posts

Id like to know how much did you lose at six months? I am noticing a trend. You can add other stats if you like.

Is the average ten pounds a month? If not what is?

I started at 271 the day of surgery and I think at 6 months I was down to around 190.

I'm not 6 months yet, but I started at 273 the day of surgery and I'm about 230 now. Two days ago was my 3 month surgiversary and I've lost 43 pounds. I don't count pre-surgery weight loss into my numbers. I hope I can lose the same the next 3 months! To lose 105 pounds in 6 months after surgery would be a dream, but sadly that won't happen for me. I'm just a slower loser, I guess. ;)

It hasn't been 6 months for me yet but I would say I am a slow loser. About 10Lbs a month sound like my situation. Hope you have a quicker weight loss! :)

I had lost 80 lbs at 6 months...17 the first month and then 10 lbs or so every month after. I started at 283.

Guess I'm a slow loser! I started at 266 lbs, and at 6 months I am down 71 lbs. But I have lost steadily with no real stalls, and only have 45 lbs until goal, so I am happy!

Good luck to you!

I am having my surgery on March 9 and I went from 298 to 268. Sure wish people would list their height. I'm 5'7 3/4" and would kind of like to know what others my height have lost in 6 mo postoperative.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
