I'm just about 3 weeks out from surgery and I've lost 16 pounds post op, and 8 pounds preop, so a total of 24. Hoping to lose a couple more before my first month is over :)

What a person will lose is based on so many variables. Some people do low carb, high Protein during the pre-approval phase, so they already have a head start and lost their beginning Water weight. People with higher BMI's and more weight to lose and men will usually lose faster than women at first.

A lot of people lose weight steady and don't get the dreaded big stalls. A lot has to do with how much weight you have to lose.

Some people are built differently and are less "squishy" and have more muscle mass and tend to build muscle easily, I am one of those. Two people that weigh exactly the same, are the same height and eat the same thing, will not lose at the same rate because body types are different.

Many people gain weight after surgery due to the IV fluids, inflammation and swelling & gas. I had surgery at 229 and when I got home 6 days after surgery I was 235 and I had like 100 calories a day for 6 days lol.

The most important thing though is no matter what you weight, what body type you have, if you follow the rules and drink your Water and follow the nutritional plan, you will lose weight.

Best of luck to you.

29.2 pounds the fist month. But I started off with needing to lose 132 pounds as of surgery day. I also didn't weigh myself when I came home from the surgery because I didn't want to be discouraged if I had gained.

      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.
