Hi

Today marks 1 month since I done the operation and have only lost 7 kilograms (15pounds)

I kind of feel upset that i haven't lost more considering I have also been training (1 hour cardio session everyday)

What did everyone else loose 1 month post op?

Thanks!

I'm one month out and also down just 15 lbs although my doctor said that is good as many patients retain fluids after however I read all the posts of people losing like 30+ lbs in first month. Also of course the heavier individuals are the more they'll likely lose in beginning. Perhaps 15 lbs is good for our starting weight?

Sleeved 12/19/16

Start weight 208

Current 190

I feel the same. I thought I would lose more and I barely lost 18lbs I'm not happy at all. But I do agree that if the starting weight was on the smaller side then it will take longer but it's frustrating when you have gone through so much.

Yes I agree! We are very similar in weight.

I saw my dietitian today and she said I was doing fine and that is the normal weight lost.

It's not going to happen overnight but was hoping to see more off the scale.

Next follow up is in 4 weeks so not going to look at the scales until then. :)

Yes!! That's why I was stressed because I saw so many people post that they lost 30+

Saw my dietitian today and she said I was doing great for my weight and too not stress about the number on the scale so I'm just going to avoid looking at it

I think definitely the bigger you are the more you will loose first and each body is different I guess.

I am 5 weeks post op. 209 day of operation and now 181. First 2 weeks had a good weight loss then week 3 and 4 I lost very little. Going into week 5 there was quite a good bump and big weight loss. I had post op complications too (ruptured spleen) so no exercise either. It will come don't worry :)

I'm 4 1/2 weeks out and down 18 pounds from surgery. I had a stall for a week, lost 2 pounds in 1 day and have been stalled again.

      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.
