Alison1227 1 Posted November 19, 2013 My surgery was 10/2 and to date I have lost 28lbs. The first 15 came off in the first two weeks after surgery and it's been slow going since then. I'm fine with being a slow loser but just starting to get scared I won't lose anymore. I have lost about 2 lbs in the last two weeks. Surgery weight was 255. How much had you lost at 7 weeks out? 1 lakiap reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madam Reverie 2,958 Posted November 20, 2013 I am 8 weeks out and I am EXACTLY like you. 28lbs. I have also stalled for 4 weeks. It's starting to move now, but it is sloooooooow going. I think this is a very common phenomenon for us women - and I think men, too. Hang in there, honey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sbarbiegirl 109 Posted November 20, 2013 I have lost 33 pounds since surgery 7 weeks ago. Been slow lately. Not sure if it's because I lost 25 pounds in pre op. I started at 410 pre op and now I'm 352. I'm bummed I had a goal set for Thanksgiving at 340. I'm not going to make it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CocoCocoon 6 Posted November 20, 2013 Seven weeks out, I was worried because I had "only" lost 25 lbs since the day of surgery on May 9th. I have now lost 60 lbs and have 20 more to go to reach my goal of having a BMI of 24 and be in the "normal weight" range. If I count the weight lost on the pre-surgery diet the week or so before, I have lost 70 lbs in less than 7 months. Like you, I was afraid I would be a slow loser, but my weight loss has actually been very good and I an ever so happy with the results. At the beginning we're so impatient, but then as we start to enjoy our new bodies, we relax a bit and stop obsessing about our weight, but the weight keeps falling off. Please don't worry, you will make it to your goal! 1 raven123 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alison1227 1 Posted November 20, 2013 Thanks for the response. I keep telling myself that in a couple more months I will look back and will see my progress more clearly. I tend to get so hung up on the daily weight ins, tracking etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xiomara8868 101 Posted November 20, 2013 Im 8 weeks and i lost 35 with surgery.. but if i count from pre surgery diet is a total of 50 pounds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marfar7 1,533 Posted November 20, 2013 At 7 weeks I had lost the exact amt Ive lost in the last 4 mths - 22 lbs. I started lower (174. Band revision) so I knew Id lose slower but it's getting ridiculous. I know I could lose faster (been stalled for 2 mths) if I counted everything that went into my mouth but Ive prided myself on losing almost 100 lbs eating whatever I want - just much, much less of them. Counting seems so much dieting to me and thats why I got wls in the 1st place... So I'm the one that breaks the curve for everyone else....22 lbs to goal of 130 seems like a huge task now. Now I know what my skinnyg friends used to b**** about when they complained they had to lose "20 lbs". I used to roll my eyes (at 250, I had MUCH more than 20 lbs to lose) Now I know how hard those last 20 r... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livvsmum 2,369 Posted November 20, 2013 At 7 weeks I lost 42 pounds. However, everyone is different both with the rate at which they lose and also their starting point. If you start higher you tend to lose a little bit more quickly at first. It tends to be a lot more helpful and less discouraging if you look at your % of excess weight lost. So at 7 weeks, I had lost 33% of my excess weight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pansaw 2 Posted November 22, 2013 On November 24th, I will officially be 8-weeks post-op and in stage 4. As of the 19th, I was down 102 pounds. Initially I thought this was good, however now I'm thinking I may have dropped some muscle weight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

outwithbenjiboi 227 Posted November 23, 2013 I will be 6 weeks out on Tues, Nov 25, and here are my stats: Preop: 286 (4/2013) Surgery weight: 256 (10/15/2013) Today: 227 So nearly 60 in 7 months and nearly 30 in the past 6 weeks since surgery. I have 60 more to go. I have no idea whether I'm losing slowly or quickly. I just know I'm sticking to 800 cals, 64 oz, 80 g Protein, and working out 1-1.5 hours per day, every day. I'm just keepin on keepin on!! 1 mumoftwo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pansaw 2 Posted November 23, 2013 May I ask what procedure have you had done? Sure! I had the Gastric Sleeve. I also had a number of minor post-op complications (low blood pressure, gas, low kidney function and nausea). Pre-op: 468 (6/2013) Day of Surgery: 464 (9/24/2013) Post-op: 362 (9/21/2013) I think I may have lost muscle weight in the process. 1 new2U reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
