Your weight loss progression vs others looking for similars stories



Recommended Posts

For those that have had gastric bypass, what did your weight loss look like? Did you lose steady and gradually? Did you lose a lot then plateau? I was 222 the day before I began my liquid diet. I was 217 the morning of my surgery. It has been about one month. I’m currently at 196. I wanted to know if this is normal or truly what others experiences were/are like.

And forgive my signature. I can’t figure out how to get back to it to update it!

Well I was 226 the day of surgery which was in April. I hit the 190s in June and now I'm hovering around 158-160. Been around there since the beginning of this month.

I had RNY on March 8th. The day of surgery I was 292 pounds. I'm down to 193. I was around 306 when I started pre-op diet. I lost steady except for July. I lost around 3 or 4 pounds. Then things picked back up. I only want to lose a few more pounds though.

I had the RNY on April 10. Highest weight was 220lbs which dropped to 206lbs on the day of surgery. My progression is as follows:

Apr 10: 206lbs
Apr 24: 196.4lbs
May 10: 192lbs
June 10: 176.2lbs
July 10: 168lbs
Aug 10: 161lbs
Sep 10: 152.6 lbs
Oct 10: 148.8lbs
Today, Oct 19: 146.8lbs

I am 5'4". As you can see, I initially lost weight slowly. I also had times where I lost rapidly and times where the scale barely moved. I tracked my progress with body measurements (lost 14inches off my waist!), dress sizes (size 18-6/8; size XL/XXL to S/XS), and body fat (39% to 23.4%). Don't rely on the scale! Good luck!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
