What did you lose your 1st month?



Recommended Posts

Hello all! :) I know everyone is different, but I'm just trying to find what an average weight loss is for the first month post-op. If you could post how much you had lost exactly 1 month from your surgery I would appreciate it. I am 4 weeks post-op tomorrow & want to know how I measure up. Thanks! :)

In my first 2 weeks I lost 25 lbs, then at my next doctors appt which was at 6 weeks I had lost 53 lbs. In my first year i lost 150 lbs. But this isn't what everyone will lose. I had A LOT to loose, and my BMI was 44. . people with lots to lose, drop weight fast.

My BMI was 39 at the time of surgery.. I have lost 17lbs. I've been at the same weight for 9 days. Tomorrow is 4 weeks for me & I can't help feeling I should have lost more :/

Your in a stall. We all hit them. Adding more food. Make sure your drinking enough and are getting your Protein. It will restart your losing again. I know it's frustrating. Mine lasted about 2 and a half weeks.

If I remember, you lost a whole bunch up front. You're body is just catching up now.

I was sleeved the same day as you, and according to my unofficial weigh in this morning I'm down 16lbs from my surgery weight. 32lbs including pre-op diet. I will officially log my weight tomorrow morning. As you can see, we're pretty close to each other.

I had my first follow up last week and my surgeon said I'm exactly where I should be, so don't get too down on yourself. I was kind of hoping I had lost more too, but I'm trying to think of this as a marathon and not a sprint. I know it will come off - it has to considering the amount of calories I net in a day.

      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.
