How much, how fast? WEIGHT LOSS

[morganmary 8]

I am only a week out as of tomorrow and have lost 19 pounds since the day of surgery 4/23. I weighed myself on Thursday at a loss of 12 pounds and 2 pounds a day since then. I know it won’t always be that way but enjoying it while it lasts [emoji3]

That’s great! Have you been active? What do you attribute your success to? Any tips? I’d love to lose at that rate to meet my first 2 month goal

Do you mind if I ask what your surgery weight was?

Thanks!

I don't mind at all! That's what we're all here for, right? I was 233 or 235 on surgery day (I'm pretty sure the scale said 233, but at my first post op appt, they said my surgery weight was 235). Bmi was 42 and change.

Ive been pretty active. I aim for two 1-mile walks per day, and I also try to remember to get up and move around (stretch, do the dishes, a couple laps in the house, whatever) every hour or so. I have two little kids, so on the days I don't get out for a second walk, we do plenty of running around outside in the yard.
