What was your rate of loss?



Recommended Posts

I'm just curious as to what your rate of weight loss was after your surgery? I had my two week appt last Thursday and I was down 20lbs.

HW: 437

SW: 376

I have tracked all my weights since my surgery last year on June 15. I lost 18 lbs. in the 2 weeks before surgery when I was on the liquid diet. After surgery, I averaged 4.1 lbs. per week in the first 6 months. After that point, my average has been 1.75 lbs. per week. My highest loss was 7.6 lbs. in one week. I do need to add that I exercised prior to surgery and after surgery. My doctor said that my rate of loss is on the high end of the spectrum. I would think that a man might lose even faster than I did. You guys have a definite advantage.

It definitely depends on your starting weight. My doctors office prefers to go by percentages for this reason. The heavier you are, the more weight you will lose.

My sw at surgery was 260 and I'm now at 235. 25 lbs over 25 days. I've been losing a lb a day

Today is my 4 month post op...I have lost exactly 50 lbs since surgery....I haven't started any kind of regular exercise program yet so I probably could have lost more [emoji848]

I've lost 55lbs since surgery on Jan 27th. I was losing about 3lbs a wk, now I'm at a stall for 2 weeks, then lost 3 lbs from last week. Not on a regular exercise program really yet. I walk a lot and see a trainer on Mondays, but then my kid is around all the time so I don't have workout time cause she's usually cranky after I get out of work, husband is at work, so I don't feel like dragging her to the gym

      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.
