Approx 1 year weight loss.



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Still getting all my pre op appointments out of the way. Just curious though... I know it’s different for everyone but how much weight have you lost one year post op?

Also, when did you see your weight stall in the beginning, if at all, and how long was it for? What did you do to overcome it?

Interested in hearing everyone’s story.

I started my journey at 397 with my six month pre-op diet program. I lost 99 pounds during that six months, weighing 298 on the day of surgery. I met my goal of 180 at 1 year and 4 days post-op, meaning that I had lost 217 pounds total and 118 pounds since the surgery. I lost another 7 pounds over the following few weeks and have been maintaining at 173 for several months now.

I actually went below my goal weight but I had some complications due to Strictures. I lost 132 in 6 months but I did gain up to 125#'s now I weigh 124 to 129#'s. Which I will take in a New York minute. I got to my goal and haven't lost any more. I didn't have but 1 gain when I was 6 months out. I jumped on my scales and it said I was up 1#. The next day (after I was so bummed) I lost 3#'s. I think when you are told about the Honeymoon Phase being your 1st year to 1 and 1/2 is not always the bottom line. It may get harder to loose as quickly but from seeing posts on here there are many thatkeep losing longer. Good Luck on your Journey!!

      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.
