How much loss during your first month?



Recommended Posts

Hey all! I'm starting my journey next Thursday. I am having my lapband removed after complications. I'm 12 lbs more than I was before I got the lapband. So awful. I was pregnant for most of last year though so that doesn't help. Anyway, just curious how much everyone lost their first month if they remember. Also, did you stay on shakes the whole month or what was your plan like? Just looking for some thinspiration! Thanks!

I lost 38 pounds my first month. Everyone is different so you could lose more or less. Good luck on your journey.

I am not really sure. 12-15 pounds I think. it is going to vary depending on how much weight you have to loose overall.

my plan was Clear liquids in the hospital. full liquids for two weeks, soft foods week 3 and 4 and then regular foods after 4 weeks.

I am now 4 months out and with two more pounds will be down 40% of my excess weight. not too shabby!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
