**one month post op weight loss**

[Sabl3r 15]

Hi all, I'm roughly two weeks post op and I'm amazed at how quickly the weight is coming off. I'm eager to see what one month has in store for me so I'm interested in seeing what the first month offered you all. What weight did you start at and how much did you lose In the first month? Also, when were you cleared to exercise?

Started 2 week preop diet at 238.

Surgery day 216.

I never weighed that often postop, but these are a few weights I remember...

11 days still 216.

6-7 weeks 199.

10 weeks still 199.

3 months 191

After that it was slow and steady until I hit my new normal (140ish) at 9 months.

My surgeon wanted 60-90 min of aerobic exercise pretty much immediately. Cleared for crunches at 2 months and resistance training at 6 months. In reality I never exercised, but I was lifting 40-60# at work I starting at 3 weeks postop, and I typically log 12,000-20,000 steps just in my regular daily activities.
