4 Weeks Post-Op



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

Merry Christmas, today makes 4 weeks post op, my SW was 248 and as of today, I weigh 227 which is a 21 lb loss. The first week I lost 9 lbs, 2nd week 5 lbs, third week 4 lbs this last week 3 lbs. I started exercising after 2 weeks 3-4 times per week for 45 mins was was a little bummed that I didn’t lose more weight but overall I’m satisfied, just wanted to share my progress.

21 POUNDS in 28 days is great.

That's 12 ounces per day average. (340 grams per day)

Today is day 75 post-op for me. While I am 29.5kg (65 pounds) down from mid-July, I am only 13.3kg lower than operation day (which is 29.3 pounds).

My loss is only 6.25 ounces per day (about 175 grams)

You're losing much more significant amounts per week ... almost twice the rate of my progress! Well done you!

Hi! I think any weight loss is great! I started my journey at 384 pounds at the last part of October. On Surgery day, I weighed 352. I am now 3 weeks post surgery and weigh 320 pounds. I’ve been holding at that weight for most of this week. I can’t wait to lose more. My goal is 150 pounds.

      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.
