I'm about 7 months post op and have lost 107 pds! My pre-op weight was 251. I've gone from size 20/XXL to size 10 pants / medium shirts.

I lost 100lbs in the first 6 months, then it slowed dramatically. Took me an additional 4 months to lose 24lbs more and then an entire month to lose my last lb. Just hit my goal last weekend in 11 months total

It's been 8 weeks now and the last 2-3 weeks it's slowed to a very slow crawl of 1/2-1 lbs max per week if that. On the plus side it's better then nothing ?

Age: 57

HW 285

pre op 268 (Optifast start)

gastric bypass (12/12/16) 260

CW (8 weeks post op) 234

GW (2 year plan) 150

as you can see I only lost 8 lbs on 3 weeks of Optifast, then lost 14lbs the first 3 weeks and now crawling the rest of the way at only 12lbs in 5 weeks.

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.



What surgery did you get?

      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?

      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.
