Weekly weight loss after vsg



Recommended Posts

Hi all! I had vsg on 9/8 and weighed in at 304. As of today I am down to 268.2 but, i have a question for you guys. The last 3 weeks I've only lost about 2 lbs per week. Is this normal? I though I would be losing 4-5 a week. I'm lightly exceeding now but am going to have to work out everyday to get this weight down faster. I'm fear I'm overeating-even tho i track and weight my food. I've thought about cutting my food in half but then that means I won't hit my Protein. -anyway- just wondering if this is normal and if it happens to you, how to overcome? I'm 30 years old and prettt active with no health problemes at all. Thank you in advance and happy thanksgiving!!!

I have found that there is no rhyme or reason to it. I have lost 8 pounds in a week; I have lost 1 pound in a week, and I have lost everything in between. In my experience, there is just nothing linear about this journey, but as long as the weight is trending downward and I am meeting my Protein and Water goals every day, I have faith in the process.

Good luck!

Yup, what @@blizair09 said. It's variable. Some weeks you'll lose 2, some 4, some none, and some you may even gain a bit due to our bodies just being whacky. Weight loss is not linear. If you looked at it on a graph, it won't be a straight line downward, but more like steps of stairs. It does slow down the the further out we get from surgery and the closer we get to goal. Just work your program, keep moving and it will come off at your bodies own pace.

Yes, it's very normal. I'm 3.5 months post-op and now I usually see 1-4 lb loss weekly. I log all food, get all my Protein and fluids, but some weeks my body wants to hold on to some extra pounds.

I'll take every pound lost and be proud of it, even if it's just one.

I've lost 52 pounds since surgery 9/15 but only 4 since 11/7. I assumed it would slow down. I'm sure it'll pick up again, then slow down again. As long as the scale is going the right direction, I wouldn't worry.

Thank you everyone! I feel much better now. It's crazy because I'm eating healthy, I eat 0 carbs and try to keep sugar if any at the very minimum. I figured The amount of food I eat now does not even equal to one meal of food pre-op. And in terms of content, no Soda, carbs junk or sweets I thought I would be losing more. I think I'm just terribly afraid that even with surgery I won't lose weight. I guess it's normal to have that fear after being overweight your whole life; the idea that you always will be no matter what. But thank you for your comments- I do feel better about the scale now :)

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
