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!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
