How much weight did you loose in the first 4 weeks?



Recommended Posts

At 4 weeks about 25, today is my 8 week Anniv. And I'm only down 39 total since surgery. Almost 40 in 8 weeks is great compared to a "normal" diet, but a bit disappointed because I see some amazing numbers others drop the first 1,2 and 3rd months. I go see my Dr. For a follow up on Friday. Wonder what he will say??

I lost exactly 32 in the first 4 weeks. The last 2 weeks were definitely slower than the first 2, though. I think us gentlemen tend to lose more quickly at first, though.

As has been said ad nauseam here-- everyone is different, so don't feel like you have to "measure up" to other people's results! As long as you are following the plan that has been put before you, even if the weight loss is slower than you'd like, then you're doing it right!

Proud of all of you! Keep up the great results and keep being the inspirations you are!

I'm not even 3 weeks post-op but I lost 8 pounds the week before surgery, 7.8 pounds my first week after surgery, 7.4 the second week after surgery, and I am still losing about 1 pound per day. I was just OKed to go back to the gym yesterday so hopefully I can keep that rate up for a while!

I am one month and one day out from surgery. I have lost a total of 31.6 pounds. 10lbs from the one week liquid diet before surgery and 21.6 since surgery :)

At 4 weeks I was about 28 lbs down. Is your ticker since surgery? If so, than it looks like you're right on track! Don't worry - be patient. It might go slower than you think it should or than you want, but remember that you didn't gain it overnight either!! :)

Ten days ago I weighed in at the hospital at 243. Six days later (when I was finally feeling okay) I thought, "let's jump on the scale and see what is happening". It read 224.

I about died. 19lbs in six days.

I don't know if I had a heavy stomach organ.... Or what. Lol! But after reading this thread, that seems very abnormal. Since then, I have lost about a pound. (Stall?) I get my Protein and Water in, so that can't be it.

I'm anxious to hear what the doc says when I meet with them on Monday.

I was thinking my op had been over 4 weeks ago but just realised when I did my ticker that I am infact only just over 3 weeks out since surgery, In those 3 weeks I have lost on average about 5lb a week with the first being almost double that so I guess its not as bad as I had originally thought.

I have been stuck at 200 lbs since the beginning of the month. Has anyone had a plateau for a while like that? I have lost 42 lbs since October and I don't think I'm having the best results. Any advice?

I had a 3 week stall and then I upped my food intake just a little and started my exercise program. I exercise twice a day for 25 minutes. Walking on treadmill and stationary bike. Since I started this....the weight has been falling off at about 5 pounds per week. But...more than the weight loss...my body is morphing. Even during the stall my body was changing. So, life after surgery isn't just all about the numbers...muscle tone, shape and other benefits have to be considered.

I just hit 4wks from the date I was sleeved, but they had to go back and do an emergency hernia removal 3days later so I didn't lose anything the first week after surgery.

I have lost 29lbs since surgery

      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.
