Actual Weightloss?

[monikazgreat 4]

Is there someone out there who could tell me when I will actually see dramatic weightloss? I had my bypass/gall bladder removed 11-21-12 (and of course a week liquid diet prior)...lost 16 lbs from the liquid diet, gained 11 lbs from anaesthesia, lost those again so I know can say I have lost 17 total pounds since my pre op liquid diet... I'm confused...

Hello. Well first you have step back and take a moment. . Everyone body's is not the same and the weightloss isn't the same. We all gain weight from the surgery, iv's etc... You will start to see major result usually 1st month and 3rd month. Most people have stalls during a time period after 6 weeks. It's not a miracle cure and you have to do your part with drinking tons of Water and eating lots of Protein. Can't wait to see your results!

Exercise!!!!! Even if its just a 30 minute walk EVERY day!!! I hated going to the gym but now it's my favorite part of my day. I'm challenging myself more and more and I can't believe what I've accomplished. I am about 6 months post op and I'm down 94 lbs.

Hi! My advice is to follow the plan. WLS is a tool to help us, but we have to do work, too. I am 2 1/2 months post op and down 52 pounds. I exercise at least 4 days a week, most of the time more. Walking, jogging, hiking, basketball, and Zumba work for me. Also, hit those Protein targets. I try to get 80 to 90g of Protein a day. I start each morning with a Protein shake, then eat lunch and dinner.. Mostly Proteins. The weight will come off! Good Luck!!

Thanks so much for the advice snow. I'm a month post op and have lost 15lbs since surgery. My nutritionist said that because I couldn't eat at the beginning it slowed my weight loss I just can't seem to get the recommended levels in. Hopefully it changes as I can't wait to see results like everyone on here.
