How much weight did everyone loss within the first month???

[pumpedandready 27]

I lost 20 pounds just from my pre-surgery diet which started on Aug. 8th. Then after my surgery on Aug. 16th I gained like 10 lbs while in the hospital from all the IV fluids. That's all gone now and I'm down 27 lbs from my starting weight on Aug. 8th.

My surgery was Aug. 14th and I am right with you 27 lbs from my pre-op to now. I was stalled all of my 3rd week but starting to lose again in the last few days. Really hard getting all my Water and Protein in even though I haven't experienced any problems with anything I am eating, it is just a lot to take in. I did just increase my meals from 4 oz to 6 oz because I seemed hungry all the time. I think that got my stall moving.

I had surgery 8/18 and I'm down 28 pounds hopefully I can drop these last 2 pounds before the 18th this month so I can hit 30!

I have lost 35 pounds in 5 weeks.
18 on preop diet.
17 since surgery two weeks ago.
Feel like I should be losing faster though.

Oh man, you are going to be sooo bummed when that 3 week stall comes your way! Yes, you're a guy, and guys tend to lose a pound a day at first, but it'll slow down soon enough... just know it's coming so you don't pull your hair out...

Why is there a 3rd week stall ? Any idea ?

[XYZXYZXYZ1955 675]

The explanation I've read in these pages is that our bodies are changing so much, so quickly, that we need time to pause and catch up with the changes. A lot of people lose inches when they are not losing pounds.

I lost 25 pounds pre-op and have lost 13 post-op, or not quite a pound a day. Today is the first day of pureed and I just had 4 ounces of cottage cheese--felt like about twice as much as I really wanted. My eyes are still definitely larger than my stomach!

I'm a month and 3 days out and I've lost 31 pounds so far....super happy! Can't wait for this months weight loss numbers[emoji16]

I lost about 16 kg or 35 pounds in the first month. I did kind of stall around the third week but the overall weightloss was pretty awesome as far as I'm concerned!

Mine is the smallest I think. First month out, I lost 8 lbs. I lost more on the 2 week pre op diet. My stall was like week 2 for a while, I even went up 2 lbs even though I was eating less than 500 cal a day, just Protein Powder in milk, and Bone Broth. Then my second month (just completed) I only lost 6 lbs. I did start with a low BMI and my steady loss since the pre op is 28 lbs, which has been enough to dump me just out of obesity bmi.

It's going to be a long slow journey. The scale goes down in ounces if not every day, then every other day. I'm doing a workout program and I hope to get stronger too. Muscle weighs more so it might mean I shrink without a ton of scale loss.

For me though it's a little depressing that I'm not MUCH smaller yet. And everyone knows about the surgery so I think they might be expecting more, not that I care. And I cant wait to buy new clothing. Soon.
