What is the average weight loss for the first 30 to 60 days after bypass surgery

[trailblazer57 31]

I have lost 38lbs from 1/3/13 and I haven't been doing much exercise (which I should be doing more) but I'm not trying to drop too fast. My colleague had the surgery and she lost so much weight so fast she didn't like her appearance. She looks much better versus looking cracked out.

Great job on lose of 38 lbs! I had the same worries as you did losing to fast and looking sickly but my surgeon explained , you will only look sickly if you are just losing fat. However, if you go to the gym and build muscle ( 3-4 times a wk) you will shape up and look healthy. So today im joining planet fitness basiic membership $10 a month. God bless

I am 7 months post op. Went to my 6 months appointment. I was 298 day of surgery. Now, I'm 225. But I don't look 228 pounds. When I tell people I want to lose 70 more pounds they all think I'm crazy. I told the nurse that I thought that I should be loosing more. She said I'm doing great. The faster you loose is not so great because of extra skin.My highest 320 now 225 I can't complain. Size 26/28 sometimes 30 and now 14/16. I also notice when I exercise I loose faster. I recommend Biggest Loser DVD'S THE BEST. GOOD LUCK.
