How much weight have you lost in the first month?



Recommended Posts

Surgery was 11/08/17

Weight - 343

Current - 296

Goal - 215/220

I have lost 47 pounds in one month since surgery and feel great! I have been working out and active nearly every day. Honestly feel like I didn't even have surgery thats how good I feel. Has anyone else experienced this much weight loss in this short amount of time?

You started out pretty big so larger losses are expected. People smaller with less to lose don't usually lose as much. Weldone.

Today marks one week and I'm down 12 pounds. That's way better than I expected, considering my surgery BMI was 35, but I'm expecting it will slow a bit from here on out.

Almost 50 lbs in the first month! That’s impressive. Congrats! I’m only 1 week out, but I’ll pop back here in 3 weeks.

I had a staple line leak, so was in hospital for 2 months. However, I've lost nearly 40 lbs... so that made up for the pain and misery I went through.

      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.
