So how much have you lost weekly

[SUNNYNYC 11]

I am 1 month out of surgery with 27lb weight loss. The first 2 weeks I lost about 20 lbs, and the next 2 weeks just about 7lbs.

We MGBers should start posting our weight loss weekly on this site?

It will be interesting to know how everyone else is doing.

I am almost three weeks out and my weekly weight loss is somewhat similar so far:

2 week pre op.....-10 pounds

1st week post op.....-15 pounds

2nd week post op.....-5 pounds

I consumed exactly the same amount of liquids (Isopure and water) the 2 weeks after surgery, but lost much more the first week.

Hi Sunny. That is an amazing amount of weight loss in one month. Just remember that it won't stay that way and 1-2 lbs. a week is the average. I've lost more than 140 lbs. and never lost more than 2 1/2 lbs. in one week's time (other than the pre-op period when I was mostly on liquids). Good luck to you and let me know if you are interested in coming to our NYC support group meetings. I'm presuming your forum name is because you live in or near the city.

Terrific. My co-leader is Lisa and she's near Riverhead. So far we're having our meetings in the city but Lisa is working on having some on the Island and we're hoping to get some outer borough folks involved so we can do Queens, Brooklyn, etc.

Here's the link with all the info.

Hi there. I am just 30 days out of surgery as well. I am down 32 lbs since my day of surgery. I lost 20 in the first 2 weeks and now I am losing about 5 per week. I just finished puréed foods and moved to soft foods so I am guessing that will certainly make a difference.

3 pounds, 2pounds, 1pound and 0pounds!

I am 28 days out and have only lost 16 lbs. I read these post about everyone losing 20 and 30 lbs in a month and I wonder what I am doing differently than everyone else. How many calories are you eating? I can only get in 600 to 700 in each day.

are you losing inches?
are your clothes getting loose?
are they getting too big on you?

if so, then you are losing actual/real weight
regardless of what the scale says or does not say

keep doing what you are doing as it will soon enough
ps, dont weigh all the time if you are...look how you feel now
it will happen...hang in there

I have noticed my rings twirl on my fingers now.one of my supervisors took a double take and asked if I was losing weight. I know I'm losing I just don't understand why I'm not losing at a much slower rate

That's a NSV Janice and much more satisfying than the number on the scale. Please remember not to compare yourself to others. If you do, you will always find something lacking in your journey. It's your weight loss journey and it will come off however it comes off. Also...you did not get large overnight and you won't get small overnight either. Just follow your doctor's directions, eat healthy, exercise, and you will get there, I promise.

Thank you so much!
