Typical Loss In 1St Week Or Two, When Does It Start To Slow Down



Recommended Posts

Is there a typical amount of weight people lose in the first week or two after surgery? If so, how much? I know that figure may vary a lot depending on how much a particular person needs to lose so I'm just curious about a ballpark number.

Then, when does the weight loss slow down to 2/3lb per week? I had surgery a week ago and just want to be prepared for when the inevitable slow-down starts.

I lost about 20 lbs. in the first week, and 5.5 the second. (Ideally, I'd like to lose around 115 lbs., although I have no idea if I'll make it that far.) Now in my third week post-op, so no idea what will happen next...

I lost 8 in my 2 week pre op liquid diet, and 8 more in the 10 days after surgery so far . I am still on liquids for 2 weeks

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
