How fast are you losing weight?



Recommended Posts

I'm wondering how fast you all are losing weight? I've heard some people say 1lb/day. But im just wondering what other people's experiences are?

I'm 3 months out and dropping maybe 2 to 3lbs a week and maybe a bit more. Im not working out just yet, things are really crazy right now. Just kind of coming around to an eating schedule of sorts.

I just hit 4 months out as of yesterday and I am 81 lbs down. So I'm averaging 20.25 a month, but I know that isn't right lol. I lost about 25 just the first month, it slowed down a little after that but has remained steady. As long as its going down I don't care how fast :). I work out every day though. Everyone is different, but I'm extremely happy with my results.

people lose at all different rates for a whole hosts of reasons (age, gender, metabolism, starting weight, etc). It's sort of pointless to compare yourself to others, because the only control you really have is sticking to your plan (or not...). Just so you know, I was a slow loser - and I've lost 227 lbs. Hard work and commitment to your plan make a huge difference - not how fast (or slow) it comes off.

So my average is better than 2 lbs weekly. Going slow, but losing, hoping my head and skin will keep up with my snail pace.

I had my surgery on 11/21/2016, and I have lost an average of 2.5 pounds a week over the past 7 weeks. I have lost a total of 17.6 pounds since my surgery.

I have had a week where I have lost over 5 pounds, and some weeks where I lost nothing, though. I would like to add that I haven't been exercising yet. I have had some issues after surgery - nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and I have already had to have my pouch dilated (at which point they found 5 ulcers) - all these things have kept me from being active. I can't wait to see how things go once I feel better and can exercise again.

I am nine days post surgery. I lost 20 pounds in the first week- which is as disturbing as it is encouraging. Up to around 25 pounds now, so slowing to about 2 pounds a day. My clothes definitely feel looser, but I don't see or feel any obviously weight loss spots.

Had bypass on 12/30/16 and steady at losing 5lbs per week. No official exercise as I get tired quickly.

      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.
