average weight loss...



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone :)

Just a question for those already sleeved, about how much did you loose in your first 3 weeks to a month?

Now I know everyone looses differently and you can't judge one persons loss by another's but I'm curious to get an averaged number from a large pool of people.

Thanks for any and all replies.

You're right, there is no normal. So many factors. Age. Sex. Activity level. BMI. Length of pre-op diet. And other factors as well. All that said, I lost 19 pounds in the first month. I'm a slow loser.

I did well with the pre-op diet (lost 23 pounds in 3 months).

Day of surgery 12/23/2013 weight was 212.

Four weeks weight was 197 (so, 15 pounds).

Had a 2 week stall at week four.

Just finished month two with another 11 pounds down.

Total to date - 49 pounds with another 51 to go.

I am stoked that at two months post op I am halfway already,

I do not regret this surgery at all.

Wow Miss Mac you're doing really well! I lost a bit over 23 pounds with the two week pre op diet and one week post op...but two weeks later I've stalled.. Can I ask what your diet/exercise day to day looks like?

I'm almost 3 weeks post-op and so far I've lost 11.4kgs (25 pounds) (including 6 pounds during the one week pre-op diet). I expect at this rate I'll have lost around 13kgs (28 pounds) by the end of four weeks. The first 15 pounds dropped off really quickly, and now the rate has slowed somewhat. (I think partially this could be from moving onto puréed foods.)

So I guess that makes me a fast loser compared to some of the other posts here, but we all loose at different rates. I am aiming for a total loss of around 142 pounds, so it could just be that I have more to lose so it's coming off quicker.

I usually count from the two week pre-op, which is 55 lbs. But if I count from surgery (a lil over 1 month), around 30 lbs. Logically I know that's pretty good, but I've been hovering at the same weight for around two weeks and its driving me bonkers!

Surgery 1/15/14. Have lost 15 lbs since then. Today is 2-28-14. Need to exercise more. Have averaged only 2X a week 30-40 minutes in recumbent bike. I feel ok about the drop rate, but I know I could do better. Thanks for asking the question.

I am now starting week 9 and have lost an additional 48 for a total of 90 lbs

      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.
