HOW MUCH HAVE YOU ALL LOST IN THE FIRST MONTH



Recommended Posts

I will be one month this Friday. I lost 22 pounds post op. I don't know about any stalls. I weigh myself at my post op appointments. I enjoy the fact that I feel good and I feel my body changing. My next appointment is in a month and plan to work this sleeve n and plan until then.

Well, the good thing is.. keep losing this much a month and you will be down 100 pounds in 4 months! 25-30 pounds is amazing, and think how much you would have lost without? 2 pounds a week, if you were lucky!

17 down since surgery and most of that was the first week, was stalled for 3 weeks and the scale is only inching down 1 pound here .5 pounds there I must say I'm very disappointed. I'm 6 weeks today and just thought I'd see better numbers. I have an appt this Thursday with my surgeon and NUT and I can't wait so far my NUT said to cut down on my cardio and I should see the scale move ???? really....so that's where I'm at!!!

@ reginasjourney how many calories do you consume a day. How much carbs Protein and fat do you get in. Are you exercising and are you eat regular foods or still on soft. I'm just curious because your doing amazing and mine is coming off soooo slow

@4mnurse I am getting around 800 to 1000 calories but it's on the lower side. I walk and do Water aerobics 3 times a week. When I do that I up my calories because I am biting what I eat. I stalled for about 10 days and then I up the Protein and it started to come off again. Hopes this helps.

I am 2 weeks out and I have lost about 7 pounds. I am not expecting to lose weight quickly. I am 4'11", started with a low BMI, and I have hypothyroidism. If I can lose about 8 pounds a month, I will be a happy camper.

@ reginasjourney I too eat 800-1000 calories a day doing 40 minutes of cardio 5 days a week and I consume 80-100g of Protein a day but still the weight is coming off too slow for me. I'm so frustrated.....

I was happy with that. :)

I'm pretty happy with everything about WLS thus far.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
