How Much Did You Lose 1 Month Post Op



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, today is my 23rd birthday :) and it also marks 3 weeks out for me.. today i hit my first 20 lbs lost since surgery (not including pre-op) i was just wondering what everyone lost in their first month post op?? i still have a week left.. i was hoping to lose around 23-25 lbs total for month 1 i dont know if its doable or not considering i stalled for about 10 days.

I havent started exercising yet, my nurse practicioner told me i could do cardio but nothing else... did anyone else exercise in month 1? and if you did how much did u lose?

I have been walking everyday since surgery on Feb 14th I walk a min of 2 miles a day but generally 4 ( I have done 8 and will be doing 12 this Sat.) I have lost 15lbs from surgery date I try not to weigh everyday.

hi lovePink

The one thing we can all be sure of during our weight loss journey, is that we will lose weight differently.

some people will lose weight quicker than others (i.e. you men) some people will just have normal stalls, and others will lose at slow but steady rate. It will depend on your metabolism, excercise, and just stuff in general.

So trying to answer your question, I had lost 18 lbs after 3 weeks - which i was happy about. So moving right along, i think the weight you have lost is terrific, and once again, everyoe loses at their own pace - keep on keepon on.

continued best

Happy Birthday! I'm one month and 4 days out and I've lost 30lbs since surgery. Just remember that everyone loses differently and experiences different things at different times. I never stalled, but that's not to say I won't, so my progress may slow. Hang in there, you're doing great!

      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.
