How much weight lossttrr



Recommended Posts

I know everyone is different but what is the average weight you should be losing each week? I am 11 Days out and have lost about 8 pounds. I thought in the beginning it would be a little faster. I am more than excited about how much I have lost both pre and post-op, but am looking forward to feeling better when I get more off. I just seem to be the same weight the past few days when I was losing about a pound a day in the beginning.

HW - 316

SW - 269

CW - 261

GW - 150

I was doing 1-2lbs a day pre-surgery on the liver reduction diet (20 lbs total) - then post op I was doing anywhere from 1-4lbs a day for the first 2 weeks. Then that slowed to about 1-2lbs every other day. Now that I am over 6 weeks - it has slowed to about 1-3lbs a week. I am told 1-2lbs a week is normal for the rest of the year.

There is no set amount.

Look for the tend.

You may have 'flat' weeks where you feel you lost noting.

I am nearing the TEN-WEEK mark post-surgery. The weekly amounts lost in kilograms have been: 1.5, 3.0, 0.4, 1.5, 0.4, 1.7, 2.1, 0.9, 2.0 and 1.1 for a total of 14.6 kilograms.

That's equal to 32.2 pounds post-op.

Average per week so far 1.62 kg (or 3.57 pounds).

But I am a 61yo man that was more than double his desired weight. Two months post-op, I am on a very intensive exercise support program; others do less exercise or just incidental exercise.

Some people live on 800-900 calories per day, strictly monitored and strictly logged. I tend to eat 1200-1330 calories average as I exercise a lot.

Don't just look at one person ... look at a range.

Asking how many pounds a person should lose a week is like asking how long a pair of pants should be. There isn't a one size fits all for this.

And 8 pounds in 11 days is a pretty good start! I've lost 73.6 so far in 17 weeks since surgery (plus 26.4 before on the pre-op diet) and I've only gone as high as six three times. It adds up though.

Basically my point to the OP in my response.

Sooooo many factors come into play!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
