At 6 weeks post, how much was your loss total?



Recommended Posts

I'm curious how much on average, everyone had lost around their 6 wk point? i KNOW i'm losing, and doing pretty good. I just want to get an idea of where i fall compared to others.

Total so far I have lost 35, but that includes 15 pre-op so really only 20 lbs in 6 wks. Honestly, though it's WAY MORE than i could ever lose on my own without surgery. I may be the tortoise in this race, but i'll be a winner in the end!

You're doing terrific and watch from now on the lbs will melt off. I think I was about 22 lbs down at 6 weeks. Good Luck!

My weight loss is slow, too. I've had 2 lengthy stalls already, but I think it is because I don't always eat enough. I've lost 28 lbs since surgery on June 12th. (8 wks) As long as I keep losing, I can handle the slower weight loss, but I sure do wish I had numbers like some of the others on here!

Im 6 weeks out too and have lost 18lbs post- op and 39 total. Had a couple weeks the scale didn't move much. I have found that if I eat

real smaller meals Protein first and every 2-3 hours the weight is coming off. If I wait till I feel hungery I try to eat to much.

I lost 10 on the pre-op diet, sleeved July 1 and have lost 25 additional pounds for a total of 35 down. I'm thrilled! I just wish I could move down a clothing size, too.

I'm seven weeks out and down 47.5 lbs, which includes 11 pre-op. I too stopped losing around week three and thought something had gone wrong. Eventually I learned why, so now I try to let people know about "the dreaded week-three stall" which can last two weeks or more. No, you're not going crazy and your surgeon didn't mess up. It's explained pretty well in this post on another forum that I discovered while doing research on the phenomenon. http://www.dsfacts.com/weight-loss-stall-or-plateau.php

      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.
